It is rather strange to go through life being identified with this sequence knowing that it was my double. Actually, the first time I saw Psycho and that shower scene was at the studio. I found it really scary. I was just as frightened as anybody else. Working on the picture, though, was one of the happiest filming experiences of my life. We had fun making it - never realizing the impact it would have."

Who did you quote in this?

Mikeython1 I quoted myself

"You can either be a vain movie star, or you can try to shed some light on different aspects of the human condition."

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."

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."

- Leonardo DiCaprio

"There is no knowledge that is not power." -Mortal Kombat III of all places.

"I've always known what a good movie is. I've not often known what a hit is. I think The War is a good movie, but it's not a hit. I think A Perfect World is a good movie, but it's not a hit. And so what should I have done? Should I have turned my back on those movies? I can't do that, I just can't. If I can be in a good movie, then I can feel okay about it. I can feel okay about The Upside of Anger, I can feel good about Open Range, I can feel good about Mr. Brooks. Is it a hit? It's not a hit, but it will make money. Am I proud of it? I am proud of it. No Way Out was a movie that was in turnaround. It was not going to be made. Bull Durham was not going to be made. We went to every studio twice. So when people want to look at my career in retrospect and go, "Hit, hit, those movies were hits..." Well those movies weren't going to be hits unless we forced them onto the screen."

"I can't say I really see much difference between my son and daughters except that my girls will occasionally make me a sandwich and my son won't."

On going bald: "I'm not into plugs, rugs or drugs to correct this problem and would rather just shave it off."

'It is forbidden to fight on the Killing Ground,' he said, and paused while he considered the sense of this. 'You know what I mean, anyway...'

Some pirates achieved immortality by great deeds of cruelty or derring-do. Some achieved immortality by amassing great wealth. But the captain had long ago decided that he would, on the whole, prefer to achieve immortality by not dying.
