Leonardo DiCaprio - Leos Quotes #1

**broken|smile** · 04-30-2007, 07:55 AM

"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. As for myself, I'm not sure who I am. It seems that I change every day."

"You can either be a vain movie star, or you can try to shed some light on different aspects of the human condition."

"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."

"If you can do what you do best and be happy, you're further along in life than most people."

Those are just a few of my personal favourites I found on imdb, you can add you own, they can be from Leo himself or from his characters!

I really love this one:

"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."

He's so adorable.

"I think people read the tabloids because they want to see you eating a burger, or out of your makeup or doing something stupid because they just want to see that you're like everyone else. And that's OK. I don't want to catch myself anymore saying that my life is hard, because the good far outweighs the bad in my life. And it's easier to focus on those things, on the things that are important."

"You learn after you've been in the business for a while that it's not getting your face recognized that's the payoff. It's having your film remembered."

"As a little kid growing up in Hollywood, I was called 'a little crazy'. And now I guess I'm still that way."

"I like to help the whales, the otters, and the dolphins. When I'm acting and I take a break, the first thing on my list is spending time by the sea."

"It's a weird adjustment living alone, because you don't realize how much you really miss Mumsie until she's not there."

"One of my passions is to meet people and then imitate them. I love doing that."

"I insist on keeping a level head. I've maintained the same exact home life that I've had for 20 years. All I see is more people looking at me than before. But, you know, who cares? You just can't obsess yourself with this fame stuff."

"The main thing for me right now is just to live my life with my family and friends. They treat me like Leo, not 'Leonardo, Master Thespian'. That's all I need to keep my sanity."

Couldn't help but post tons.

He's so adorable.

on my myspace i have heaps..i'll grab a couple from them

Everywhere I go, somebody is staring at me, I don't know if people are staring because they recognize me or because they think I'm a weirdo.

I don't see why I can't have friends of both sexes without wild rumors being circulated. It's crazy

When a role for a young guy is being offered to me, I think of River Phoenix. It feels like a loss.

To believe in love, to be ready to give up anything for it, to be willing to risk your life for it, is the ultimate tragedy.

What I really wanted was to travel and see all the different animals that were on the verge of extinction.

With Romeo and Juliet, you're talking about two people who meet one night, and get married the same night. I believe in love at first sight-but it hasn't happened to me yet.

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.

I hate it... I feel that when I see myself and these other cute faces, I'm just part of this meat factory.

I just want to keep doing what I'm doing and hopefully people will watch my movies.

I like doing things that scare me. I went bungee jumping, but sky diving is just the sickest thing

hopefully none of these have already been posted

I love that about him.

I love how he speaks about himself and his career and how others speak about him.

ITA girls!

I was always the kid in school who tried to get attention, not necessarily the class clown, but I'd do little unexpected performances.

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.

sorry if these have already been posted

Heres some great quotes that people say about Leo

Well my favorite are from Zac b/c he says the sweetest things about him

Quote:

Hearing DiCaprio was going to be honored as one of GQ’s Men of the Year, Efron showed up at the party. “He was the only reason I went,” he admits. “I thought maybe I’d get to shake his hand. No one had seen Leo, and I was walking out and he walked right by. I was all, ‘Oh, hey!’ And he turned around and right there I had the ‘in,’ and I was like, ‘I just want to shake your hand, dude, I’m a big fan….I’d love to sit down and talk with you sometime.’ And he goes, ‘Right on.’A few nights later, I was at a Lakers game and I texted him, and he said he was coming. And this guy in a ball cap and coat with the collar up sits next to me.We talked the whole game, and he was just everything I thought he would be: smart, levelheaded, charming, hilarious. You know, the older-brother vibe.” Efron shakes his head.“That sounds so cheesy.

I

that Zac went to the GQ party just b/c Leo was going

And everything he said about him is so freaking true

And he goes into every bit of detail oh they met

Quote:

“Leonardo DiCaprio is someone whose career path I would love to emulate. The problem is there's not enough scripts about giant boats sinking that are immersed in alove story. I can't find that script. I'm thinking of writing Titanic 2."

Quote:

A few months ago Efron was spotted sitting alongside Leonardo DiCaprio at a Los Angeles Lakers game."It was a complete fluke we sat next to each other, but it turned out to be the best thing that happened to me," he says. "Leo, for me, was the first time I ever recognized fame. I was in fifth grade when he was literally on every magazine cover for Titanic and all the girls had these Tigerbeat magazines and I'd say, 'Dude, what's so great about that kid?' I was jealous.I mean, you couldn't help but hate the guy. And now, to some degree, I've made it and I'm going through the same thing. But it was hard to talk to Leo that night because you're at a game and there's a million photographers and you're just trying to enjoy the game. He said a couple of small things but he suggested we talk outside of the game which I plan to take him up on. But it was a pretty weird encounter to meet this person whom I'd grown up hating, to now just completely loving his body of work. I mean, its pretty miraculous for him to have gone from that position to doing all the incredibly diverse films he does today. That's the kind of career I would like for myself."

Quote:

We’re talking about Leonardo DiCaprio. They sat next to each other at a Lakers game not long ago. Floor seats.DiCaprio talked with his hand over his mouth, like a wiseguy trying to foil FBI lip-readers; Efron took his lead, covered his own mouth. They set up a lunch. He doesn’t want to get specific about how the lunch went, but when we ask if he got tips from DiCaprio about flipping his teen-idol stock, Efron says no, not really.“I thought I was gonna ask him questions,” Efron says. “He ended up asking me questions, and in that, he told me a lot. He said, ‘There’s one way that you can really **** this all up. Just do heroin.If you steer clear of that—the other obstacles you’ll be able to navigate.’ And that makes sense, dude.”

THEY SET UP A LUNCH
