I think it`s easy for directors to stay fresh more than actors, especially once an actor becomes a star. It`s hard for Russell Crowe to walk down a street or take a subway. I can fly coach.
Michael Mann
[on his role as Father Grandier in The Devils (1971)] You would think from the critics` hostility that Ken Russell had tried to pull off some obscene hoax. On the contrary, the film is, I think, an utterly serious attempt to understand the nature of relig...
Oliver Reed
It used to make me upset to be typecast that way. But as the years have gone on, I have given in. I am the Professor, and that`s the way it is. The show has brought a lot of joy to people, and that`s not a bad legacy. -- Russell Johnson, referring to his ...
Russell Johnson
(On working with Russell Crowe) "Super complicated guy, but really smart. I loved working with him and had more fun working with him than anybody I think I have ever worked with. I play his trainer, so everything I did was with him and I kind of loved him...
Paul Giamatti
[On public reaction to The Devils (1971)] I remember noticing the gleam in [Ken Russell`s] eye while everybody was working away on the set, so I knew something good was going on. What they said afterward was totally incredible. We were regarded as pornogr...
Oliver Reed
When I first said I wanted to make a film about Rome and cast `Russell Crowe`, everyone had a good old snigger. I thought, "You wait." They`ve done the same with Kingdom of Heaven (2005) and Orlando Bloom. I now say, "Take a look at this".
Ridley Scott
Well, if you`d like to get technical, I`m English, and Russell`s from New Zealand. (when asked about the studio`s reluctance to hire "two Australians" for roles in the period piece L.A. Confidential (1997).)
Guy Pearce
One of the people I got to know years ago, which was a great privilege, was Laurence Olivier. He was like a laser - that was his power. And the only actor I`ve met since who had that same quality of laser-like determination is Russell Crowe. The first day...
Anthony Hopkins
I bluster my way through, and I sing rather like a rugby forward. Tommy (1975) is an amazing visual film and the music is astonishing. I think for anyone to translate The Who`s music in terms of images, it must be somebody like [Ken Russell]--or a lunatic...
Oliver Reed
What does my performance have to do with Russell Crowe`s? Nothing. If I play Gladiator (2000) and we all play Gladiator with Ridley Scott in the same amount of time, maybe we have a chance to see who did it best.
Javier Bardem
You know, there`re no rules between Russell and I. We don`t want to have to have to talk too much, because it`s really precious, really special to play music.
Benny Green
Two turnovers were key for us tonight. Russell Denton recovered a fumble on our 45 which led to our first score. Then Aaron Cupp picked off a pass late in the first half.
Richard Moore
Russell Crowe is very difficult, but it`s worth it. He`s the real thing. I can tell you this. Russell Crowe was just as difficult before he was an international star as he was afterwards.
Taylor Hackford
Russell Crowe is very difficult, but it`s worth it. He`s the real thing. I can tell you this. Russell Crowe was just as difficult before he was an international star as he was afterwards.
Taylor Hackford
Like Russell, I enjoy the fact that when I`m playing solo, if I want to do something completely spontaneous, I don`t have to worry about how I`m going to cue the other musicians, or if it`s something that`s rehearsed.
Benny Green
I`m glad you asked that question, because of any musical situation I`ve been in, the communication feels great here with Russell. He really pays close attention to what I`m doing because he cares.
Benny Green
I worked with people I admire; Josh Lucas, who I`d worked with many many years ago on a pilot called The Class of 61 and Kurt Russell, and so there were a variety of different people that I enjoyed working with.
Andre Braugher
I think it`s easy for directors to stay fresh more than actors, especially once an actor becomes a star. It`s hard for Russell Crowe to walk down a street or take a subway. I can fly coach.
