The last thing I want to turn into is a fat Hollywood jerk. I was brought up without much money and I was happy. I don't think that I will strive for money or success and end up greedy or big-headed.

My mom, Irmelin, taught me the value of life. Her own life was saved by my grandmother during World War II. -- Leonardo Dicaprio

If you can unify the public mind saving an iconic species like the tiger, like they did with the panda, that means you have to protect their habitat and everything that they hunt.

If a film is good, and I'm sort of able to sit there and absorb myself within that world. And get lost. That is a pretty powerful tool. And there's not many paintings out there, that make me want to stare at it for hours at a time, and wonder where I am! -- Leonardo Dicaprio
I don't think I ever expected anything like an Oscar ever, to tell you the truth. That is not my motivation when I do these roles. I really am motivated by being able to work with great people and create a body of work that I can look back and be proud of. -- Leonardo Dicaprio
We actually did a lot of takes on this movie [J. Edgar Hoover ]. I never left the set wanting more. That's for sure. I don't know. This was a very difficult character for me and a lot of the other actors here, and at times we went and did 8 or 9 or 10 takes on a single day. -- Leonardo Dicaprio

We only get one planet. -- Leonardo Dicaprio

I like movies! No, I like theater too. And paintings are great, and all of that! But to me, the great sort of artistic medium I think, of our time, is film. I really feel that. I mean to me, there's nothing else out there, where I can sort of suspend disbelief for two hours. -- Leonardo Dicaprio
When I grew up, I lived in the ghettos of Hollywood; it was the most disgusting place to be. I was known as the crazy little kid. I did impressions. Then I realized that's not what I want to do. I don't want to be a comedian to please other people. -- Leonardo Dicaprio
My career should adapt to me. Fame is like a VIP pass wherever you want to go. -- Leonardo Dicaprio

My father, George, has also affected the choices in my life regarding films. I like films that take chances or say something different or experiment. Growing up with him, I was surrounded by different artists - not just actors or film-makers but cartoonists, poets, writers. -- Leonardo Dicaprio
When a role for a young guy is being offered to me, I think of River Phoenix. It feels like a loss. -- Leonardo Dicaprio
I spent a long time in art school so I can really draw. I'll doodle and suddenly I'll find the beginning of the movie in one picture. Usually, I start my stuff on the telephone. Right by the telephone I've got a book of doodles. When I'm on the phone, I'll be doing a drawing eventually. -- Leonardo Dicaprio

I have the same problem as Edward Furlong. I'm so thin! -- Leonardo Dicaprio
I'll just be the first to say that Ken [Watanabe] should be a national treasure in Japan, because he is an unbelievably talented actor. You couldn't find more of a gentleman. He's sweet, he's kind and he's extremely thoughtful in the work that he does. -- Leonardo Dicaprio
I will fly around the world doing good for the environment. -- Leonardo Dicaprio

I am completely open to doing a romantic comedy, but I will never do something just for the sake of doing a specific genre or because it's the time or place to do a different type of movie. I think that would be a huge mistake. -- Leonardo Dicaprio
I've always kind of made sure to maintain the sense of who I am and never be mean or cruel or snotty to anyone.

I feel a moral obligation to speak out at this key moment in human history - it is a moment for action. -- Leonardo Dicaprio
I believe humankind has looked at Climate Change in that same way: as if it were a fiction, happening to someone else's planet, as if pretending that Climate Change wasn't real would somehow make it go away. -- Leonardo Dicaprio
I always wanted to be an actor and I'd never dreamt that not only would I be able to do this for a living, but also on top of that I'd be able to choose and steer the course of my own career. -- Leonardo Dicaprio

We are facing a tipping point of environmental crisis unprecedented in human history and our very survival is dependent on protecting nature. -- Leonardo Dicaprio

Fame is not the worst thing. I went to dinner the other night, and the girls in the restaurant ignored me. It was so annoying. -- Leonardo Dicaprio
Most of the time I just keep to myself. I think like what it would be like to be ... someone else. -- Leonardo Dicaprio

Drugs? Every one has a choice and I choose not to do drugs. -- Leonardo Dicaprio
There's some of Romeo's romance in me ... I romanticise a lot of things in my mind.. -- Leonardo Dicaprio
Most of the time I do feel like I need someone else when I'm alone. But I can still get by with just my own company and that makes me a stronger person. -- Leonardo Dicaprio

If I want to go to a party with a few male friends, it doesn't mean I'm gay. -- Leonardo Dicaprio
If you can do what you do best and be happy, you're further along in life than most people. -- Leonardo Dicaprio
Obviously people don't want other people to tell them how to think or what to believe, or to tell them what's right politically and what's wrong. -- Leonardo Dicaprio
I like to prepare as much as possible beforehand, but there's definitely that element of fear when you're on set, and you have to be conscious of it and use that fear to drive you to work harder. -- Leonardo Dicaprio
The truth of the matter is this - I never look for films specifically, because ultimately if the fundamentals of the character and the script and the director aren't there, it makes it a moot point. -- 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
Yes, I can play younger than my age. But I can play characters older than I am, too. I'm not an actor who can just play the kid. -- Leonardo Dicaprio

I've gotten to play some pretty intense characters and I tend to think it's therapeutic for me. -- 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

I don't think my parents would be shocked about anything I did, because they're so laid-back. -- Leonardo Dicaprio
Sometimes you've got to go to the wrong place just to show that you're not afraid to go there. -- Leonardo Dicaprio
From an outsider's perspective, it's amazing what [Clint Eastwood] does. If he's not directing a film, he's acting in it, or rather he's composing the music for that film. His commitment to what he does is astounding for all of us to witness. It's inspiring, actually. -- Leonardo Dicaprio
At first I thought I would have to put on an English accent and try a sort of affected Shakespeare thing. -- Leonardo Dicaprio

You can make history, or you will be vilified by it. -- Leonardo Dicaprio
Portraying emotionally ill characters gives me the chance to really act. -- Leonardo Dicaprio

If we do not act together, we will surely perish. -- Leonardo Dicaprio
I like doing things that scare me. I went bungee jumping, but sky diving is just the sickest thing. -- Leonardo Dicaprio

I grew up in Hollywood but not in any rich neighborhood. -- Leonardo Dicaprio

The role of Rimbaud is one of the most important roles to play for a young actor. -- Leonardo Dicaprio

I didn't worry about what DeNiro thought ... I went in, looked him in the eye, and got the part. I was confident, even though I'd never done anything like it before. Now I realise it was ignorant confidence-I had no idea. -- Leonardo Dicaprio
I've got this reputation for shooting one take which is a wonderful reputation to have but it's hard to live up to. -- Leonardo Dicaprio
