So, to keep in touch with that, I think that's the first ingredient for success. Because if you're a successful human being, everything else is gravy, I think.

38. When you are kind to someone in trouble, you hope they'll remember and be kind to someone else. And it'll become like a wildfire.

39. It feels like politics today is not about what's best for the people. Politics today seems to be about my side shoulda won - and we're going to do everything we can to make you look bad. And wow, do they ever.

40. Women all understand that if you disagree with someone it doesn't have anything to do with them personally. It's their idea that you're disagreeing with. So you can actually still remain friends with people you don't ideologically see eye to eye with and I find it shocking that people think this is such a surprise. Do they think women are so dumb that they don't know how to be friends cause they disagree? Only guys can't be friends when they disagree.


41. Acting is my life's blood. I'd be in an institution if I weren't in the arts.

43. Once, when you heard a politician say it was time to roll up our sleeves, it meant to get down to business. Now it's for the fight. What the hell is going on? Senators flipping people off. Congressmen heckling the President, shouting that he lies. Political negativity has become toxic.


44. You don't mind getting mugged in a bad neighborhood, all they get is your wallet; but don't go anywhere near Wall Street - they rob you of your life-savings and your future.

55. Most people still have this idea that if you're doing what is considered a sport you don't get to be a girl. You get to be a tomboy, which is one of those words that I actually hate.


56. Sometimes I wish that I could run as fast as they do and do just 90 percent of the things I see those folks doing. I would have loved to have learned how to be a really good soccer player because I really like soccer.





57. We had some cute stuff to say, but you all don't care about that.

58. Taking action is hard, but know what? Enduring a bad situation can be its own hell.


59. I would love to teach every kid to say "fuck." Hang on, now, hang on, listen to why. The reason is because to me, that is a word that doesn't have any effect. But "stupid" and "dummy"? You can say it to someone who is six and you can say it to someone who is a hundred and six and they will hunch their shoulders and it will be like somebody kicked them in the stomach because they are harsh, ugly words.

60. Remember what the fashion big mouths were saying about Jessica Simpson? Looking at her magazine pictures, sucking their teeth, going: "Oh, look at her in her "mom jeans."" Know what? That is an unnecessarily cheap shot at her and kinda lousy to moms at the same time. Who the hell are they to say that? What gratification does it give them to be mean at someone's expense? People made nasty comments like that about President Obama. They made an issue of his jeans when he threw out the first ball at the All-Star game in St. Louis. Why? Who was he bothering? Come on. The tabloids, celebrity mags, and TV entertainment shows do fashion critiques all the time. But it's not about fashion, it's about trashin'. Their specialty is "Celebrity Cellulite!" - running unflattering pictures of stars at the beach and saying who should give up the bikini and go for the one-piece. And this is acceptable? This is a mark of journalism in a civil society, to take ambush pictures of people at the beach? And if the camera was turned around and pointed the other way, what would that look like?


61. I don't want anyone killing me with their car. Is that too much to ask? No, it's not. Then why are so many people trying to send me to my early reward with their vehicles? Truly. I can't believe some of the stunts I see pulled out there on the road. I have to say the worst behavior you see from people is when they get a steering wheel in their hands. To the point that I believe that your car is like a brain scan of your personality. If you are a polite person or just a normal, considerate, going-along-and-along-in-life person, that's pretty evident. You get a smile and a nod from me at the next stoplight. If you are easily distracted, clumsy, or kind of off in the ozone, we're going to see that too. Please try to keep it off the sidewalk. And if you are a jackass? Well, trust me, we know. We all know. And the way you carry on, we get plenty of opportunities to comfirm that. Do you think that when you get inside your car and close the door you become magically invisible? You do not. Not even with those tinted windows you think look so cool. We can see you. And it ain't pretty.

Lara Flynn Boyle Shockingly Skinny And Puffy

Lara Flynn Boyle, 42, has undoubtedly been one of the most stunning television stars of the 1990s, but now she is barely recognizable.




"The Twin Peaks" star, who has kept a relatively low profile in recent years, emerged at a Los Angeles park on Wednesday afternoon, looking shockingly skinny and scary different!

Wearing baggy tan pants that drew attention to her stick thin legs with a Mickey Mouse t-shirt and blue sweatshirt, Boyle seemed painfully anorexic even though a slight tummy bulge hung over her tightly belted waist.


It has to be noted that Lara Flynn Boyle attempted to hide her face with a baseball cap and sunglasses, but she couldn't conceal her puffy cheeks and injected trout pout.

Ashton Kutcher Split Steve Jobs "Self-Portrait"

Ashton Kutcher's transformation into Steve Jobs for the upcoming movie "JOBS" was often hard but visually the results are undeniably impressive.





Kutcher recently tweeted a portrait of a face that's split between the image of the real Jobs and one of Kutcher's portrayal.

While the first preview clip that's been released for the film shows Kutcher as Jobs in the late Apple founder's younger days, the "split" photo features Ashton mimicking Jobs' more recent look with wire-rim glasses and a graying beard.


It's a striking resemblance, isn't it?

Leonardo DiCaprio Quotes

1. I got attention by being funny at school, pretending to be retarded, and jumping around with a deformed hand.

14. With Romeo and Juliet, you're talking about two people who meet one night, and get married the same night. I believe in love at first sight-but it hasn't happened to me yet.


15. The best thing about acting is that I get to lose myself in another character and actually get paid for it...It's a great outlet. I'm not really sure who I am - it seems I change every day.


16. I don't think I ever expected anything like an Oscar ever, to tell you the truth. That is not my motivation when I do these roles. I really am motivated by being able to work with great people and create a body of work that I can look back and be proud of.

27. 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.


28. I grew up when I was 15 when I had my first opportunity in movies. I watched every great movie for a year and a half, and since then I've asked myself how I can emulate such artistry. That's really my motivation. I want to do something as good as my heroes have done.

56. People want you to be a crazy, out-of-control teen brat. They want you miserable, just like them. They don't want heroes; what they want is to see you fall.







57. It's a really obvious thing to say, but the more people know too much about who you really are, and it's a fundamental thing, the more the mystery is taken away from the artist, and the harder it is for people to believe that person in a particular role.


58. I don't really have many extravagances. I don't fly private jets and I don't have bodyguards and I don't buy crazy things. I have a couple of houses here and there. I bought a very expensive watch, and I am going to buy a really expensive movie poster, the original for The Thief of Bagdad (1940). I love movie posters.


59. (On fame) As soon as enough people give you enough compliments and you're wielding more power than you've ever had in your life, it's not that you become an arrogant little prick, or become rude to people…but you get a false sense of your own importance and what you've accomplished. You actually think you've altered the course of history.


60. Martin has brought so much to the art form of film, and he is not the type of person who would be upset by not receiving an Oscar, although it is a practical joke that he has not won an Academy Award after all these years. Whatever opinions critics will have of The Aviator (2004), I really think that this is a great piece of art: once again, he has made a great classic film.

61. I kind of feel like the same person except more time has gone by. I hate to say that I feel like an adult now. I have to admit I wish I was still 18. After all, even through the time while I was representing that wild kid, I really wasn't. I was just living my life. I was just not making movies at the time.


62. (On whether there are any aspects of fame he dislikes) You kidding? I feel very fortunate. A lot of people would love to be in my position. There are so many people out there who are suffering trillions of times more than I could ever suffer, and would love to be me. I am a lucky little bastard.


63. Yes, I can play younger than my age. But I can play characters older than I am, too. I'm not an actor who can just play the kid.


64. You learn after you've been in the business for a while that it's not getting your face recognized that's the payoff. It's having your film remembered.







65. I lived in Hollywood and, ironically, I didn't know you could just go out and get an agent and go on auditions and try and become an actor, I thought it was like a Masonic thing, like a blood line you had to belong to - until I was 13. Then I realized what you had to do. It is the one thing I know I want to do for the rest of my life.


66. (on losing out on the Oscar to Jamie Foxx during the 2005 Academy Awards) I wasn't surprised that Jamie got the award. But I knew that cameras would be stuffed up my face so I had my response ready. Anyone who says they don't practice is a liar. 



67. I was behind a woman at the checkout counter who was looking at the magazines. She turned to me and goes: "There he is again, that Leonardo DiCaprio. Don't you wish he'd just disappear?" I said (to myself), this is the moment where I either go: "Do you know who I am?" or put my hat further down, pay for my corn-nuts and get out of there…I choose to avoid that.


68. My first date was with a girl named Cessi. We'd had a beautiful relationship over the phone all summer long. Then she came home and we met to go out for the first time to the movies. When I saw her I was petrified. I couldn't even look her in the eye to talk to her.

69. I like girls who are intelligent, somewhat funny, and pretty with a nice personality.

70. It's a weird adjustment living alone, because you don't realize how much you really miss Mumsie until she's not there.


71. Dark green is my favorite color. It's the color of nature and the color of money and the color of moss!








72. I'm absolutely clean. I've never tried anything. That's not a lie!

73. I don't have emotions about a lot of things. I rarely get angry, I rarely cry. I guess I do get excited a lot, but I don't get sad and enormously happy. I think a lot of people who talk about all that crap are lying. Right now I'm just trying to maintain happiness - that's all I really care about. Anyway, when you're my age and your hormones are kicking in, there's not much besides sex that's on your mind.


74. 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. 


75. One of my passions is to meet people and then imitate them. I love doing that.

76. I hate speaking in front of a large audience. I don't know where it came from…but its just this gut-wrenching fear of slipping up and doing something horrible.


77. People always like to make up stories. I am not planning on getting married. Then again, I might wake up tomorrow and decide to get married!




78. (On success) I've just been jolting along from one film to another…Now, it's sort of a shock to realize what I've achieved.

79. Fame is not the worst thing. I went to dinner the other night, and the girls in the restaurant ignored me. It was so annoying.


80. Bridget Hall and I hung out for a week. 


81. I have the same problem as Edward Furlong.

82. I'm so thin!

83. It's tricky stuff. If you're not perfect in every film, then people say: "see, he was just lucky in one role".

84. (On his career) I admit I've done a few lousy roles in the beginning of my career, like my role in Critters 3 (1991). But at that age, you'll do anything for attention!


85. (Told to thousands at the New Jersey concert for Live Earth) A consensus has emerged in our scientific community that global warming is no longer merely a theory but a reality, a crisis with truly global implications for planet Earth and all of us who share it.




86. (On Titanic 1997) It was pretty disheartening to be objectified like that. I wanted to stop acting for a little bit. But it changed my life in a lot of ways, but at the same time, I can't say that it didn't give me opportunities. It made me, for the first time, in control of my career.


87. My mom and I lived at Hollywood and Western, a drug-dealer and prostitute corner. It was pretty terrifying. I got beat up a lot. I saw people have sex in the alleys. I remember I was 5 years old, and this guy with a trench coat, needles and crack cornered me. Early on, seeing the devastation on my block, seeing heroin addicts, made me think twice about ever getting involved in drugs. It's evil. Once you take that step and experiment, drugs can take over your life. You are not yourself anymore. That's something I never wanted. I didn't have a lot of friends growing up. It was kind of just me and my parents. But because of them, the neighborhood did not have a bad effect on me. My dad introduced me to artists, and every few months we'd go to some hippie doo-dah parade as Mudmen in our underwear, carrying sticks and covered in mud. My mother did everything to get me into the best schools she could find.

88. 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.


89. I think people read the tabloids because they want to see you eating a burger, or out of your makeup or doing something stupid because they just want to see that you're like everyone else. And that's OK. I don't want to catch myself anymore saying that my life is hard, because the good far outweighs the bad in my life. And it's easier to focus on those things, on the things that are important.

90. I hate being selected as "Babe of the Month" and being called "hunk".


91. The last thing I want to turn into is a fat Hollywood jerk. I was brought up without much money and I was happy. I don't think that I will strive for money or success and end up greedy or big-headed. That only leads to unhappiness. I can still be down-to-earth and do this job as long as I enjoy it.

92. My God, no! I hate this whole hunk thing! I feel when I see myself in that, and these other cute faces, that I'm just part of this meat factory, like: "Wow! Here's the hunk of the month! This month we're shoving Leonardo DiCaprio down your throat! Isn't he cute. Let's put him on the cover and we'll sell so many more magazines…" That's definitely not what I want to be, and I've tried real hard to get away from that whole situation.

93. I cheated a lot, because I just couldn't sit and do homework. I usually sat next to someone extremely smart.


94. When I was young, I used to have this thing where I wanted to see everything. I used to think: "How can I die without seeing every inch of this world?"



95. What I definitely feel a need for is to make my life about more than just my career.


96. Just last night I was thinking to myself how little of my life has been lived normally and not spent on some far-off movie location. I want to get married and have children. In saying that, I realize I am contradicting everything I've said before. I absolutely believe in marriage.


97. I feel like a whole era in my life is over. My grandma died last week. I have no more grandparents. I feel that coming ahead in my life is more stripping away, for sure. I feel very sad that Oma is gone.
