"He's probably the world's most beautiful looking man, yet he doesn't think he's that gorgeous. And to me, he's just smelly, farty Leo."
Kate Winslet
" Sometimes Kate was in tears, other times I was, and occasionally we both were. It was that kind of job. But Kate is awesome. She is beautiful, tremendously talented and is really down to earth. I don't think England realizes what a treasure she is."
Leonardo DiCaprio
I didn’t think about it.I was entirely used to kissing Kate after making Titanic. We’d done a lot of sequences like that before.-Leo on sex scenes with Kate
“She was my best friend for seven months. We’d unload the stresses of the shoot to each other, vent to each other, watch out for each other. Kate was just the perfect person to work with because she was very much one of the guys, and it would have been much harder without her. We were partners.” -Leo
Winslet reveals she wasn’t the only one affected by the chilly conditions: “Leo was just useless. He was like, ‘I don’t want to be cold anymore.’ I did the looking after. He was a 21-year-old baby.”
“It was just a thrill. It was sort of like the animal wrangler brought these two rare white tigers on the set. You were fascinated and wanted to watch them every minute, but you weren’t allowed to pet them. It just raised every element of the working experience.”-Kathy Bates on the impact of seeing Leo and Kate together
Now that they have No. 2 under their belts, will they consider teaming up a third time?
DiCaprio: “I don’t know, dahling. Shall we?”
Winslet: “Maybe we should just do something when we are really old and disgusting. Total has-beens. You know, ‘Oh, there they are again. Bless them.’ ”
“I would love to say I predicted it would be one of the biggest hits in film history. I didn’t — and wondered whether I should do it at all. I resisted it for a long time because I had been offered the film Boogie Nights. The fact that Kate Winslet said “yes” was the final decider. She was awesome. We were definitely shoulders for each other to lean on. We had to be partners on the film. All the complaining in the world was done between us two, so we did not have to vent it on anyone else.”
