I love being immersed in nature, going to places in the world that are pristine and untouched by man. It's almost a religious experience when you go to a place like the Amazon, and there's no civilisation for thousands of miles.

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

Women have been the most persecuted people throughout all of recorded history, more than any race or religion.

Leonardo DiCaprio

I did imitations of anyone who came to my parents' house, and that was my identity at school - if there were ten minutes to lunch, and the teacher was done with the lesson, he'd say, 'Okay, Leo, get up there and do something.'

Leonardo DiCaprio

My parents know I was outgoing as a child, and whenever people came over, I'd automatically do impressions of them as soon as they left; it was my mom's favorite thing. Yes, I grew up in Hollywood, but not in any rich neighborhood.

Leonardo DiCaprio

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

Leonardo DiCaprio

My love of performing goes way back. My mom got me on 'Romper Room' when I was five - it was my favorite show. But they couldn't control me. I would run up and smack the camera, and I'd jump around and do my little flips and routines. I wish I could get that tape now.

Leonardo DiCaprio

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

Leonardo DiCaprio

I'm not the kind of person who tries to be cool or trendy, I'm definitely an individual.

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'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 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

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

Leonardo DiCaprio

I had a period when I was sixteen where I started to get a big head. I was going through puberty, and I was nominated for an Academy Award. My head got inflated. My friends were the real ones who said, 'You're acting different.' But the truth is that I don't need that, because I don't get out of hand.

Leonardo DiCaprio

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

Leonardo DiCaprio

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.

Leonardo DiCaprio

There is a lot of speculation about what women are attracted to, and there are a lot of misconceptions.

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 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

The first kiss I had was the most disgusting thing in my life. The girl injected about a pound of saliva into my mouth, and when I walked away I had to spit it all out.
