QUOTES BY Russell Crowe

I knew a man once who said, "Death smiles at us all. All a man can do is smile back.

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.

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 want to make movies that pierce people's hearts and touch them in some way, even if it's just for the night while they're in the cinema; in that moment, I want to bring actual tears to their eyes and goosebumps to their skin.

At 49, I find it a little bit difficult to run these days. I've got grade four tears in both Achilles, shin splints, I got no cartilage the toes in my right foot, I've got bone marrow edemas under both knees, I've got one degenerating hip - that's the problem you get.

I have a new horse. I get her to come to me from half a mile away. With just a simple call. That's because she knows that when she's with me, she's taken care of. She trusts me.

I'm not one of those fellows that is just going to have a psuedo-middling relationship.

Do I think Cate Blanchett is the most spectacular creature that ever walked the planet? Yes, I do.

We can't repay our good luck with bad grace. It invites darkness.

Perhaps it is good to have a beautiful mind, but an even greater gift is to discover a beautiful heart.

If there's anything about someone's life that's important enough to make a movie about it, I have to take responsibility to get all of it right. It's a huge responsibility.
