A man's legacy is determined by how the story ends.

I am completely open to doing a romantic comedy, but I will never do something just for the sake of doing a specific genre or because it's the time or place to do a different type of movie. I think that would be a huge mistake.

Doing what we do [filming], you have to be your own critic and judge and adjudicate as to what you do and how it turned out.

It was invaluable to have a dear friend who you have known for over a decade, be a partner in a film like Titanic. To have somebody that talented to work against, who's also your friend and who you know you have the best intentions for and vice versa, and who you intrinsically trust to give you their forthright honest opinion about what we're both doing - all that's something you can't really buy.

I hate complaining about paparazzi, I hate complaining about being recognised, because if I ultimately didn't want to be an actor or in the public eye, I would quit doing what I do. That's not the reason I do it, but I love the work so much that it's worth it.

A single idea from the human mind can build cities. An idea can transform the world and rewrite all the rules.

If you're gonna let the character be the story, you better set a tone that allows the actors to do the best work they can do.
