Leonardo DiCaprio doesn't mind that he hasn't won an Oscar.

The 34-year-old actor insists he can cope with not being recognised by the Academy Awards because he hasn't yet reached his full potential in the movie industry.

He said: "The truth of the matter is that I have a lot to prove to myself still as an actor. And I still have that kind of thirst to want to do a performance that I'm happy with."

Leonardo, who reunites with 'Titanic' co-star Kate Winslet on new movie 'Revolutionary Road', also revealed he found it "interesting" to see how Kate's attitude to the industry has changed.

He added: "It's interesting to see her after all these years and be in a working environment with her because she's still got that same bizarre professionalism that she had in her early 20s.

"She's still a committed actress, she's still fervent about making every detail of her character come alive, but now she's way more in control of that."
