When a role for a young guy is being offered to me, I think of River Phoenix. It feels like a loss.
From Leonardo DiCaprio
Portraying emotionally ill characters gives me the chance to really act.
If you have the ability to convince somebody of something that you don't necessarily think is the case, it's a valuable asset. Not that I'm, like, a pathological liar, but we spend most of the day not fully being honest, you know?
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.'
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 couldn't deal with playing a character who rides motorcycles and has a leather jacket and is a tough kid, y'know?
I have to say that whatever decisions I make, I really do think that movie making is a director's medium. They are the people that ultimately shape the film, and a director can take great material and turn it into garbage if they are not capable of making a good movie.
I don't see why I can't have friends of both sexes without wild rumors being circulated. It's crazy.
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.
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.
