I realise that I do not change the course of history. I am an actor, I do a movie, that's the end of it. You have to realise we are just clowns for hire. After I had success it was great, at first, not to worry about money. It was on my mind when I was growing up.
From Leonardo DiCaprio
It's easy to fall into the trap of believing all the hype that's written about you... Who knows? In a couple of years, you might find me in the loony bin!
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.
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'.
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 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.
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.
Brothers don't necessarily have to say anything to each other - they can sit in a room and be together and just be completely comfortable with each other.
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.
I've managed to keep a clear head and remain sane in this business because I remain a kid off-camera.
