Quotes

Leonardo DiCaprio

Actor and Oscar nominee

“To me what matters is great ideas and original filmmaking. There’s nothing like the theatrical experience to immerse you and have the rest of the world disappear and feel part of something else, something bigger, something different. That’s the magic of movies. That’s why I think it’s our greatest art form and I hope the theatrical experience remains alive, but that’s up to audiences and their appreciation of that art form.”

“It’s fantastic. A film like this, a film that had so much thought put into it for 20 plus years in Paul Thomas Anderson’s mind, a film that’s so topical and pertinent, a film that I got to work with so many of my heroes, a director who’s my hero? … It flows freely off the tongue to be able to promote and talk about it. It’s a piece of art that you’re proud of and I couldn’t be more proud to be in this film.”
