Leonardo DiCaprio Quotations | Page 2

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.

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

Like everything, personal relationships and all that stuff is sort of put on ice while you go off to your location for five or six months. So, do I feel more settled in my life and in my work? Absolutely, yeah.

I'm never really conscious of saying, "I'm going to take on a specific role to combat a certain image in the public eye." I think that's pretty manipulative and transparent to the public anyway.

I don't have emotions about a lot of things. I rarely get angry, I rarely cry. I guess I do get excited a lot, but I don't get sad and enormously happy. I think a lot of people who talk about all that crap are lying. Right now I'm just trying to maintain happiness — that's all I really care about. Anyway, when you're my age and your hormones are kicking in, there's not much besides sex that's on your mind.

You see, I think negative emotions are always trumped by positive emotions.

We only get one planet.

I'm shy, but when the time comes to be wild, I'm fun-loving, adventurous, and mysterious.

I've managed to keep a clear head and remain sane in this business because I remain a kid off-camera.

Dreams feel real while we're in them. It's only when we wake up that we realize something was actually strange.
