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 am friends with Demi. Don’t believe anything you read. — Leonardo Dicaprio

If I want to go to a party with a few male friends, it doesn’t mean I’m gay. — 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 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

My friends have named me the person they least want to do extreme adventures with, because I always seem to be very close to being part of a disaster. If a cat has nine lives, I think I’ve used a few. — Leonardo Dicaprio

My friends, this body–perhaps more than any other gathering in human history–now faces that difficult task. — Leonardo Dicaprio

If a studio is going to offer me the opportunity to invite my mother and grandmother and all my friends to visit me free of charge in Thailand, I’m going to take that opportunity. — 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

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

Portraying emotionally ill characters gives me the chance to really act. — 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

I am not of the vein of actors–and I will not pretend to be one–that takes my character home with me. I don’t. — 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 play fictitious characters often solving fictitious problems. I believe mankind has looked at climate change in the same way, as if it were a fiction. — Leonardo Dicaprio

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

I’ve been a rich man, and I’ve been poor man. And I choose rich every fucking time. — Leonardo Dicaprio

And now it’s your turn–the time to answer the greatest challenge of our existence on this planet is now. — 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

Raising awareness on the most pressing environmental issues of our time is more important than ever. — Leonardo Dicaprio

I really hate relaxing. I’ve done three movies in a row, worked for two years straight, and to me, idle time is the devil’s workshop. I like to focus on something. — Leonardo Dicaprio

I love science fiction, but I have a hard time feeling for characters in a galaxy far away. Choosing movies is the one thing in my life where there’s no compromising. — Leonardo Dicaprio

I’ve never been Romeo who meets a girl and falls for her immediately. It’s been a much slower process for me each time I’ve gone into a relationship. — Leonardo Dicaprio

I just really love doing what I do. I know every career is fleeting and there will be time periods when I don’t get the opportunities that I’m getting right now, so I am taking advantage of them. — Leonardo Dicaprio

School, I never truly got the knack of. I could never focus on things I didn’t want to learn. — Leonardo Dicaprio

I got attention by being funny at school, pretending to be retarded, and jumping around with a deformed hand. — Leonardo Dicaprio

As a young boy, I was obsessed with endangered species and the extinct species that men killed off. Biology was the subject in school that I was incredibly passionate about. — 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

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

I don’t ask other actors questions. I think that’s too intrusive. I just watch. I don’t want to be constricted to an idea of what acting is by anyone else. I want to take my own education. — Leonardo Dicaprio

Money was always on my mind when I was growing up. So I was always wondering how we were going to afford this and that. Acting seemed to be a shortcut out of the mess. — Leonardo Dicaprio

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’m just starting to scratch the surface of what really makes me happy and it’s taken me a while to admit that acting like a little child and being a jerk and a punk is fun. — Leonardo Dicaprio

The best thing about acting is that I get to lose myself in another character and actually get paid for it… It’s a great outlet. I’m not really sure who I am–it seems I change every day. — Leonardo Dicaprio
