“The good thing about acting is that it always keeps you on your toes.....” — Leonardo DiCaprio Quote

The good thing about acting is that it always keeps you on your toes... It's not like any other job where you can go in and do the same thing as yesterday.

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 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.

I've never tried to reach a certain demographic of an audience or try to say, 'OK, now I'm going to do this type of film to transition myself into more adult roles.' Or a romantic hero. Or whatever it may be - you know what I mean?

I'm always a little innately shy when I first talk to a girl, and I think I always will be! But I think that's a good thing. You don't want to lose that.

I change my mind quite a lot about things, which isn't always a good thing.

Miserable is a good thing, though. If you start the day miserable, nobody else can screw up your day.

A good thing to live by is to go after what truly interests you.

I try to keep the martial arts up. It's a good thing, not just physically but also for your mind.
