Leonardo DiCaprio quotes:
I’ve been planted here to be a vessel for acting… That’s why I’m really taking any part, regardless of how complicated it’s going to be.
Leonardo DiCaprio
I’ve always been spontaneous and outgoing… I’ve tried lots of things so I’ve got some good life experiences, which is great ’cause it means I’ve got lots of material to work with as an actor.
Leonardo DiCaprio
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.
Leonardo DiCaprio
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 I’ve asked myself how I can emulate such artistry. That’s really my motivation. I want to do something as good as my heroes have done.
Leonardo DiCaprio
When I started acting, I didn’t think of it as a career. I always thought Hollywood was this magical world where a fairy came down and said, ‘Come live with the Munchkins; you are now one of us.’ I didn’t understand the concept of it as a career. I thought I would save up enough money to go to college.
Leonardo DiCaprio
I like to be able to play a character and act out a lot of things which I can’t or don’t do in my normal everyday life.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Don’t think for a moment that I’m really like any of the characters I’ve played. I’m not. That’s why it’s called ‘acting’.
Leonardo DiCaprio
My mother is a walking miracle.
Leonardo DiCaprio
My dad’s probably one of the kindest people in the world. When I was younger that’s not how I was- I was a little spoiled brat.
Leonardo DiCaprio
I was always the kid in school who tried to get attention, not necessarily the class clown, but I’d do little unexpected performances.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Portraying emotionally ill characters gives me the chance to really act.
Leonardo DiCaprio
I really don’t know what I’m doing… I don’t. It’s terrible. I go in there and I learn how to be like the character and do the best I can, and that’s all I really do.
Leonardo DiCaprio
My career should adapt to me. Fame is like a VIP pass wherever you want to go.
Leonardo DiCaprio
I don’t see why I can’t have friends of both sexes without wild rumors being circulated. It’s crazy.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Brothers don’t necessarily have to say anything to each other – they can sit in a room and be together and just be completely comfortable with each other.
Leonardo DiCaprio
I didn’t know what types of movies I wanted to do. I want to do things that are different. I want to take my time with each role.
Leonardo DiCaprio
I’ve managed to keep a clear head and remain sane in this business because I remain a kid off-camera.
Leonardo DiCaprio
I couldn’t deal with playing a character who rides motorcycles and has a leather jacket and is a tough kid, y’know?
Leonardo DiCaprio
I get a friend to travel with me… I need somebody to bring me back to who I am. It’s hard to be alone.
Leonardo DiCaprio
I want to be a jerk like the rest of my friends, and have fun, and not care about the consequences, but I just can’t now.
Leonardo DiCaprio
The good thing about acting is that it always keeps you on your toes… It’s not like any other job where you can go in and do the same thing as yesterday.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Drugs? Every one has a choice and I choose not to do drugs.
