I grew up when I was 15 when I had my first opportunity in movies. I watched every great movie for a year and a half, and since then Ive asked myself how I can emulate such artistry. Thats really my motivation. I want to do something as good as my heroes have done. – Leonardo DiCaprio
You do need parental guidance and I was in a great position with both my mum and dad. They split when I was a baby but even though I stayed with my mom they were both very much involved in my upbringing. – Leonardo DiCaprio
The best thing about acting is that I get to lose myself in another character and actually get paid for it… Its a great outlet. Im not really sure who I am – it seems I change every day. – Leonardo DiCaprio
I feel connected to the Second World War because my father lost his father in that war. So, through my dad and the effect it had on him of losing his father young, I always felt connected to the war. It goes back years, but it still feels to me as if were completely living in it. – Tom Hooper
