Jared Leto's quotes

"I don't think Requiem for a Dream (2000) is for children, but I think if you went home and looked at the video games that your kids are playing, you'd be much more shocked." - Mr. Showbiz, November 2000.
All those reports that I sleep in my closet. I don't know how people get that. People are so obsessed with what you do at home.
I could care less about anybody knowing who I am, but I realize this is part of the game. Maybe if I really hated this whole public thing, I would go do plays in Hoboken.
I was never interested in 'Teen Beat' like roles. I just wanted to work.
Teens are always shown as one dimensional. They're stereotyped. When I was in high school, I cared about more than getting a date or making the team.
(On living in Haiti) I was 12. It's the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. It was horrible to see people living in the street, in shacks, and bathing in sewer water and drinking bad water and begging and starving. It was unforgettable.
(2002, on his wild youth) I stole a lot when I was a kid, but I wouldn't steal one candy; I'd take the whole carton. I also used to like to break into other people's houses and sit in their rooms. I found it very comforting to be in someone's empty house.
(2002, on what would surprise people the most about himself) Messing with computer hardware. I take computers practically apart and put them back together. I have a supercomputer I built over the years out of different computers.
(On getting back to normal after the weight loss needed for Requiem for a Dream (2000)) It was difficult. I walked around New York City for a while. Ultimately, I went to Portugal and stayed in this old monastery for weeks and ate fish and potatoes.
This band and its fans have always been the odd ones out. A lot of people in this family... have always felt that way. In my life I was never the popular kid or in the in crowd. [Interview, August 2011]
[to protesters in Ukraine, March 2014]. You guys are in the midst of something really beautiful . And it may be difficult, but there's no price too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.
[on starring opposite Margot Robbie] Margot is very easy to have chemistry with. She's incredibly talented, she's very sweet, and she's a great actress. I think she was the perfect partner. Both, for me and for the Joker.
[on performing live] It's that excitement you feel. That adrenaline. That fear. Joy. Being out there, that public solitude that you feel sometimes, where you're together but alone. There's some things, I guess, you can't describe.
[on arriving in Haiti] Immediately you're in a different world.
I remember at one point I had dropped out of school and once I decided to go back and finish, I found a school where I was able to squeeze two years into one.
You have to make the opportunity. It doesn't find you. You have to find it.
I never really fit in, though. I was never one of the popular kids and I always remember being on the outside looking in. That's how I always felt.
If you're stubborn enough and people realize you're not just going to go away, at some point they just give up and give you a hug and they say, 'hey come on in.'
Sometimes when you feel like you've absolutely got nothing left, the energy of the people and their spirit can lift you up and give you unimaginable strength.
[on touring during the Arab Spring] It definitely made the experience that much more valuable for us. What was interesting was to see that not everybody agreed that the protests were the right thing.
I think as soon as your start traveling, your perspective changes. You learn that the world includes a lot more people than just the ones you thought. It teaches you a ton and it changes your life.
I never really thought that you could be a musician in a band. I never thought about fame. I never thought about any of that stuff. That early childhood, that creative exposure, really helped shape my brother and I in an important way.
I think the future is exciting.
I always say the bridge between reality and dreams is good, old-fashioned hard work. So work, work, work, and then work some more. I think that work is the most important thing when you're in the business of dreams.
Never let anyone else stop you from being who you really are.
I lusted to make something great with my life. To pursue my creative goals and ambitions and to make my dreams a reality.
[on how touring changes relationships] First of all, it's hard to keep any just friends, more or less a girlfriend. How many times can you send your buddies emails, 'hey bro, in Paris thinking about you.' They're like, 'cool, see you when you get home.'
You know, one thing we've gotten really good at when we tour around the world is eating really good food. That's the amazing thing. You could be in Paris one day, Rome the next, and then Russia the next day.
[on maintaining a vegan diet] I've been doing it for 22-years - the vegan diet - and it's working pretty good. I'm a 'cheagan.' I'm a vegan most of the time until I cheat. Then I'm a 'cheagan.'
[on what he likes in a woman] I like it all. Isn't that the problem? I just like it all. I appreciate women and all of their infinite, fascinating features.
Auditioning is probably akin to boiling your own testicles in vegan butter, or sawing off your butt lip and chewing on it like it's tobacco. That's another thing you could compare to auditioning.
We seem to live in a world right now that seems to want to be anesthetized. That seems to want to just feel one thing. It's this slight sedation. It's not just music, either. You see it in film. It's the culture. Maybe people just want to escape.
We (Thirty Seconds to Mars) would rather have 1,000 committed fans than a million people that just basically want to see what shoes you're wearing that day.
For people out there who have picked on other people and have bullied, it's never too late just to stop and be like, you know I'm tired of being the asshole here. Today I'm going to start being someone else.
It's hard to encourage some young person to confront someone else because that can lead to escalation, but I think it's okay to stand up for yourself. I think it's okay to look somebody in the eye and tell them to stop, and to demand some respect.
Failure is a friend, and I think that you can't have experience without it and you can't have success without it. And what you realize is that it doesn't hurt that bad.
[on why he sported a Mohawk] I thought a Mohawk was appropriate for This Is War because it's really the hairdo of a warrior. There's some kind of 'fuck you' about it. Certainly not making any rom-com's with that haircut.
I don't have many friends, so I do enjoy spending time with the few that I have.
[on rock climbing] The act of climbing itself is a really deep, introspective conversation with yourself about your limitations and your ability. There's a lot of success and failure involved and you learn a ton.
Haven't you had a thing, where you dream something and it sort of... happens?
[on his mother] She encouraged me that a creative path is a worthy one. It was really brave of her to do that. The creative path is one that is fraught with imbalance and uncertainty, self-consciousness, fear and doubt.
[on not wanting children] I think it's really important to be present if you have children. I have a lot of things to take care of.
[on remembering his Oscar win] I remember my mom, my brother, and just that feeling of gratitude that hit me. I think you're happy if your brain works and you're able to actually just say anything.
I actually don't have much of a personal life, but I love my work. I'd rather write a song than go to a party. I'd rather work on a piece of content or do something I'm excited about than a lot of other things.
[on the hiatus between Thirty Seconds to Mars albums] I'm sorry, it's taken a long time. Last time we put music out I don't even think Uber existed.
Creativity has its own rules. It's never polite, it's never convenient, and I also have other things I do in my life. Whether it's making films or whatever else I'm spending time doing, so time is always a big one.
I don't get a lot of down time and I'm happy to be busy. I feel really grateful about it. I don't take for granted the fact that I get to do these amazing things.
We were certainly creative. We didn't have a lot of money growing up, but we had a very creative mother and she taught us a lot and really inspired us.
I'm not insane, I'm voluntarily indifferent to conventional rationality.
[on being blind and working with Harrison Ford] I also got to act with Harrison Ford, but I think if I had seen him I would have needed a diaper. You know? Because he's very intense.
Never think about something wrong you did in the past, always look forward with your head up high; have no regrets." "Don't regret anything you do, because in the end it makes you who you are.
