Leonardo DiCaprio
Quotes
„I don’t really have many extravagances. I don’t fly private jets and I don’t have bodyguards and I don’t buy crazy things. I have a couple of houses here and there. I bought a very expensive watch, and I am going to buy a really expensive movie poster, the original for The Thief of Bagdad (1940). I love movie posters.“
„I lived in Hollywood and, ironically, I didn’t know you could just go out and get an agent and go on auditions and try and become an actor, I thought it was like a Masonic thing, like a blood line you had to belong to – until I was 13. Then I realised what you had to do. It is the one thing I know I want to do for the rest of my life.“
„I hate speaking in front of a large audience. I don’t know where it came from…but its just this gut-wrenching fear of slipping up and doing something horrible.“
„As an actor, you’re constantly searching for that great character. Also, being a history buff and learning about people in our past and amazing things that they’ve done, I came across a book about Howard Hughes and he was set up as basically, the most multi-dimensional character I could ever come across. Often, people have tried to define him in biographies, but no one seems to be able to categorize him.“
„I’ve been in the business since I was 16, so I’ve had a 14-year career. I’ve always had acting in my blood. Doing this, whatever it is, was something I was drawn to since my earliest memories. Ironically, I lived in Hollywood, but never understood that all it took was getting an agent and being persistent.“
„There are pros and cons to everything. To be able to do what I do and what I love on this level is a very positive thing. There are certain invasions of privacy, but I hate sitting around complaining about it, I just don’t like to hear it come out of my mouth. I’m a very fortunate person being able to do what I do.“
„When I was young, I used to have this thing where I wanted to see everything. I used to think, ‘How can I die without seeing every inch of this world?“
„He’s probably the world’s most beautiful-looking man, yet he doesn’t think that he’s gorgeous. And to me, he’s just smelly, farty Leo.- Kate Winslet (Vanity Fair, January 1998)“
„Drugs? Every one has a choice and I choose not to do drugs.“
„The fact that Romeo is dopey, lovey-dovey, and it’s a corny story. And I was afraid I’d look like a fuffy.“
„I prefer ordinary girls – you know, college students, waitresses, that sort of thing. Most of the girls I go out with are just good friends. Just because I go out to the cinema with a girl, it doesn’t mean we are dating.“
„With those eyes and his intellect, I see no real limit to his potential.- Lasse Hallström (USA Today, April 19, 1995)“
„He reminds me of that excitement when De Niro and I stumbled upon a way of working together – a similar kind of energy to the actors in the 1970s. It’s very rare for me to find that kind of connection again. Leo will give me the emotion where I least expect it and could only hope for it about three or four scenes. And he can do it take after take.“
„My God, no! I hate this whole hunk thing! I feel when I see myself in that, and these other cute faces, that I’m just part of this meat factory, like, ‘Wow! Here’s the hunk of the month! This month we’re shoving Leonardo DiCaprio down your throat! Isn’t he cute. Let’s put him on the cover and we’ll sell so many more magazines…’ That’s definitely not what I want to be, and I’ve tried real hard to get away from that whole situation.“
„Don’t think for a moment that I’m really like any of the characters I play. That’s why it’s called acting.“
„There’s no other art form in the world that affects me more.“

„On turning 30: “I kind of feel like the same person except more time has gone by. I hate to say that I feel like an adult now. I have to admit I wish I was still 18. After all, even through the time while I was representing that wild kid, I really wasn’t. I was just living my life. I was just not making movies at the time.“
„One of my passions is to meet people and then imitate them. I love doing that.“
