Russell Crowe says: "Three months being cool in Australia is a lifetime in another country. That's as good as it gets."

The boy is wise.

PS: He also said: "The only time I ever get a job in America is when all the other actors are distracted." Personally, I think even Americans occasionally recognise true talent. But I did read something a month ago now talking about how Hollywood is loving Aussie testosterone. The reason given was because American has been bled clean of such wholesome masculinity. Or some nonsense like that.
