Russell Crowe

So I learned a lot from him, but I didn't learn the things he was trying to teach me.

Yes.

And that's the whole thing about live performance is catering for the audience.

That's a very difficult question to answer without...

pages of nuance, you know, because... I enjoy nuance.

Well, I'll give it a go.

The bottom line is I love my job.

I love working on films.

Every single day that I'm walking towards the camera...

I will have a plan.

I know what I'm about to do.

And I chose to be here.

I work with lots and lots of actors who just took the role because of blah, blah.

They're not really there because of the work.

But...

When you know the job and you know that you're talking about 4 a.m.

starts, you're talking about minimum 12 hours a day, you're talking about working in extreme conditions and stuff like that temperature-wise or somewhere kind of whack to get an amazing shot.

When you know the job and you know how hard it is,

you've really got to have your reasons for being there.

You know what I mean?
