The main thing for me is to just live life with my family and friends. They treat me like Leo, not like 'Leonardo, Master Thespian.' That's all I need to keep my sanity. To believe in love, to be ready to give up anything for it, to be willing to risk your life for it, is the ultimate tragedy. We're not the hippie family who only eats organic and the children meditate and go to school of the arts. But we're not apple-pie and republican either. Whatever I did would be something they'd already done. I mean, my Dad would welcome it if I got a nose ring. When I grew up, I lived in the ghettos of Hollywood; it was the most disgusting place to be. I was known as the crazy little kid. I did impressions. Then I realized that's not what I want to do. I don't want to be a comedian to please other people. Most of the time I do feel like I need someone else when I'm alone. But I can still get by with just my own company and that makes me a stronger person. |
