Leonardo DiCaprio: I´m never completely satisfied with work

Hollywood-born actor Leonardo DiCaprio has confessed that he has never been completely satisfied with any of his acting work so far. Speaking at the UK press conference for his latest movie “Shutter Island”, the actor said that the reason he doesn’t branch out into comedy is down to his desire to find a satisfactory dramatic role, mediates Digitalspy.

“[When will I] lighten up in general?! I do not know really, I respond to what I read and what I’ve read in these roles are characters that have moved me emotionally,” he said. “It’s very much a throwback to what moved me in cinema at a very early age, those were the types of characters that I felt emotionally connected to.”

“You never really think that you’ve arrived there or done that role that satisfies that.  I am driven to be able to some day, in my mind, emulate or get close to the great masterworks of great performers I’ve seen in cinema from years past. I don’t know if that thirst will ever be quenched. I would love to try other genres and I look forward to doing them, it just depends on what moves me emotionally.”
