Leonardo Dicaprio, the famous American actor, who starred in the block buster 'Inception' has told that he is happy that he has not been carried away by the fame that he has in Hollywood. "I got to be wild and nuts and I didn't suffer as much as people do now where they have to play it so safe that they ruin their credibility," he said.

He always concentrated on keeping himself on the track and pacing with the time and fame in a composed way. "I didn't care what anyone thought. It was also about avoiding the tornado of chaos, of potential downfall." Dicaprio said.

The Hollywood heart throb said that drugs were never his cup of tea. "I was never into drugs at all. There aren't any stories of me in a pool of my own vomit in a hotel room on the Hollywood strip," he added.

He also said, "My two main competitors in the beginning, the blond-haired kids I went to audition with, one hanged himself and the other died of a heroin overdose."

This actor had a clear plan about his career and he paced well with the career and fame. Although he had down falls he handled them in a very light manner. Hence he portrayed that staying cool and dealing with things in a composed way is the key to success.
