“I know there’s ebbs and flows in everybody’s career. Sometimes you’re a little hotter, sometimes you’re not. Sometimes you may not be hot at all, but if you love what you do, you gotta just keep doing it.”

After this inspirational advice, Leonardo DiCaprio says he’s nervous about the age of streaming and what it might do to films like ‘ Once Upon a Time In Hollywood’ :

“We’re entering this age of streaming where things are so immediate and all of a sudden you have a new show, eight episodes of a new brilliant show that comes on that you can watch almost every other day, So when you’re talking about a movie that’s shot on film where you have all of Hollywood Boulevard that like physically transformed into 1969 with no CGI, this is kind of a real throwback to an era of filmmaking we’re not going to see anymore, In a way it is a bit of a dinosaur. I just hope we’re going to have this communal theatrical experience of going to see a great piece of art all together and enjoy it.”

Then he continues talking about his character in this movie:

“ Honestly I felt like I knew who this guy was. I’ve grown up in LA, I know these stories, I know I hit the lottery very early on but the struggles and insecurities of this actor trying to remain relevant and the torture of that was something I just knew who this guy Rick Dalton was and I knew about this relationship too, between the professional that becomes your family when you’re off on set for nine month, they become like therapists. So Quentin got you know hit the nail on the head with this hollywood story. ”
