If you hear of any incident about me - a fight, a change of clothes, a little extra gel in the hair, don't believe it till you talk to me. - Leonardo DiCaprio

Don't think for a moment that I'm really like any of the characters I play. That's why it's called acting.

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.

I think it’s a real danger, as an actor, when you try to make some statement through your career about what the business should be doing or ultimately what your image should be or how you want to be perceived. I look at every project that comes along and say, “Is this something I can sink my teeth into and can do a good job on?” That’s really how I choose roles.
