“ Portraying emotionally ill characters gives me the chance to really act. ”
My mom, Irmelin, taught me the value of life. Her own life was saved by my grandmother during World War II.
~ Leonardo Dicaprio
I'm not the kind of person who tries to be cool or trendy, I'm definitely an individual.
I've always been spontaneous and outgoing... I've tried lots of things so I've got some good life experiences, which is great 'cause it means I've got lots of material to work with as an actor.
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.'
