Russell Crowe Speaks

God bless America. God save the Queen. God defend New Zealand and thank Christ for Australia.
Russell Crowe

I don't make demands. I don't tell you how it should be. I'll give you options, and it's up to you to select or throw 'em away. That should be the headline: If you're insecure, don't call.

I have respect for beer.
Russell Crowe

I like villains because there's something so attractive about a committed person - they have a plan, an ideology, no matter how twisted. They're motivated.

I really feel sorry for people who are, who divide their whole life up into 'things that I like' and 'things that I must do.' You're only here for a short time, mate. Learn to like it.

People accuse me of being arrogant all the time. I'm not arrogant, I'm focused.
Russell Crowe

Reality is, I'm an actor and an entertainer, and I really wouldn't know what to do with another profession.
Russell Crowe

Some of the things you read you get an immediate reaction to so I've stopped reading things now. I do worry about my family though. Some people do try some nasty things to get at them and try and get a reaction from them.
Russell Crowe

The important thing to me is that I'm not driven by people's praise and I'm not slowed down by people's criticism. I'm just trying to work at the highest level I can.
Russell Crowe

There has to be a mathematical explanation for how bad that tie is.
Russell Crowe

There's nothing like sitting back and talking to your cows.

When I was a little kid, I used to really embarrass my parents.
