Leo is associated with creativity, drama, ego, heart, children, etc…
If you have this enormous talent, it’s got you by the balls, it’s a demon. You can’t be a family man and a husband and a caring person and be that animal. Dickens wasn’t that nice a guy.
Dustin Hoffman
If they ever do my life story, whoever plays me needs lots of hair color and high heels.
Charlize Theron
“I can’t think of anything outside of having the gift yourself and creating yourself. I can’t think of the next better thing to do than being able to put it back. Creative expression, I think, is vital to the success of any society. … A society without art will die.”
Robert Redford
I love luxury. And luxury lies not in richness and ornateness but in the absence of vulgarity. Vulgarity is the ugliest word in our language. I stay in the game to fight it.
Coco Chanel
I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Leo ascendant! Doesn’t that say it all?
satori
Add to this list if you can…
To deny ones own personal heaven, is simply to be living without a soul. Everyone has their niche, mine is entertaining.
-my boyfriend Jonathan. (Leo moon)
“A lot of people are afraid to say what they want. That’s why they don’t get what they want.”
Madonna
bahaha! I was just about to rip off the coco chanel quote for my email tagline when I scrolled down and saw my name!
I’d rather be creating than simply existing.–Me
Sun in Leo and 3 planets in the 5th house. 😉
“Mom! Watch Me!”

“My life’s a big production and you’re just a walk-on”. A former friend from college (Leo Sun, Aries Moon and Leo Rising).
“As soon as he woke up he felt important, as if everything depended upon him” A.A. Milne.
“When I walk out, it’s a great event.”
Sylvia Plath.
Me – Leo Moon (4th H)
my life is such that even when i dont do anything it makes news…….famous indian actor.
u know i bet marie antoinette was a leo too!
Actually, Marie Antoinette and Sylvia Plath were both Scorpios. This quote has been accredited to Mae West- A boofy-haired Lion if there ever was one- ‘I’d rather be looked over than overlooked’, and, ‘Good girls go to heaven, but bad girls go everywhere.’
Have fun on your birthdays, you fabulous animals!
I missed out on the party! 🙁 My contributions:
“Listen, everyone is entitled to my opinion.”
“I won’t be happy till I’m as famous as God.”
“Better to live one year as a tiger, than a hundred as a sheep.”
“To me, the whole process of being a brush stroke in someone else’s painting is a little difficult.”
“Sometimes I look back at myself and remember things I used to say, or my hairstyle, and I cringe.”
Ahh, Madonna. My favorite Leo, even if Mae was born on my birfday.
haha…I love Dustin Hoffman. He’s my favorite lion by far 🙂
Some one put this one here before, but I loved it so much. I love the Hoffman too, he has such a gentle, sweet demeanor:
“I mean, I don’t think I’m alone when I look at the homeless person or the bum or the psychotic or the drunk or the drug addict or the criminal and see their baby pictures in my mind’s eye. You don’t think they were cute like every other baby?”
Get this: I have Jupiter conjunct Pallas conjunct PoF all conjunct Regulus and it is definitely the only part of my astrology that I would put on a pedestal and gladly display to the world. It’s also the only part of my astrology that would fetch seriously good money on Ebay. Rawr!
I’m glad too that you chose Bob Redford, peregrine Sun in Leo, you don’t get more Leo than that.
Hubby is a double Leo sun/moon & my youngest daughter is a Leo sun. Hes an artist.. go figure.
I don’t want it to be all about me, but if you make it all about me that is ok.
Leo stellium (on my wedding day)!
So I guess, Jeremy, you could wear a crown as an accessory and it would just look normal.
Deirdre, you’re right, and it goes so well with my ermine robe too!

Awesome stuff, expecially love the AA Milne quote, Alison. Which character said it?
What about this one “I’m too busy living, let’s Virgo write the quotes.”
Can a cancer male mix with a virgo female ?
“Show me a sane man and I will cure him for you.”
Carl Jung
“I never thought much of the courage of a lion tamer. Inside the cage he is at least safe from people.”
George Bernard Shaw
“You talkin’ to me? You talkin’ to me? You talkin’ to me? Then who the hell else are you talking to? You talkin’ to me? Well. I’m the only one here.”
Robert De Niro in Taxi Driver
Sorry, not his own words, but too funny to pass up
“I go on and on until I am stopped, and I never am stopped.”
Percy Bysshe Shelley
“I am not a man like other men. The laws of morality and of society are not applicable to me. I have the right to answer all of your objections with an eternal I.”
Napoleon
I thought you might use a little laugh. The poet is my 10 year old grand-daughter, a Leo and a champion in BMX.
On the hill sitting still
Excitement running through me
Waiting for the final word
That brings the power to me
Legs are spinning
I know I am winning
Harder, harder, pushing through
To pass the person without a clue
The path is clear
I know the finish is near
A smile upon my face
For I won the big race
I knew BMX was my fate
Now I’m going home to celebrate
Awww Zavela–
The confidence and fearlessness of a Leo child!
Hmm…Robert DeNiro’s quotes aren’t very Leonine. Stellium in Leo and Virgo.
I’ve never been one of those actors who has touted myself as a fascinating human being. I had to decide early on whether I was to be an actor or a personality.
Robert De Niro
I don’t like to watch my own movies – I fall asleep in my own movies.
Robert De Niro
Though I like this one:
When you make a drama, you spend all day beating a guy to death with a hammer, or what have you. Or, you have to take a bite out of somebody’s face. On the other hand, with a comedy, you yell at Billy Crystal for an hour, and you go home.
Robert De Niro
Most of my friends hate when I take incessant camera phone pictures of them. However,
“How should I pose?”
My Moon in Leo friend
My son Bucky has Leo Sun & Venus in 6th. He acts/sings/dances his way into and out of the room on a regular basis, and is constantly studying/working on his schtick. I don’t always get what he is talking about, but hey.
Trying to live my own vision of my life. It’s not easy, but a heck of a lot easier when I can keep my eyes on the prize.
me: Sun, Mercury, Uranus, Pluto all in Leo; only Mercury and Pluto are conjunct
Those Leo quotes are great!
“If it’s worth doing, it’s worth overdoing” Mick Jagger, Sun Leo, Moon Taurus

A friend: “You mad at him?”
Me: “Nah, I never get mad. I will kill him with my kindness. With utter precision.”
(Leo Sun/Asc opposing BML)
“Call me Phoenix as I recreate my life over and over and over.”
