“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.”

“My grandmother died, Oma. She was 93. She lived a long, great life. I loved being with Oma at all times, she was completely pure and honest. She was so unlike anything else. She was my barometer of truth. I always brought Oma around to meet people, just to hear her immediate take on them. She was so unaffected. She’d give me her opinion, no matter what was going on. Sometimes I’d ask Oma, ‘Isn’t it great now, all this stuff happening in my life?’ And she’d say, ‘Don’t you worry about that. Take a break. Be a bricklayer. Work with your hands. You’ll love it. Step back and reflect on what’s going on in your life. Appreciate it.’”— Leo
