Russell Crowe quotes:

"I don't mind being afraid of some of the characters I play, because it adds an extra level of excitement," he's said. Still, "I think it's kind of pretentious to sit there and say 'I only dance on the edge,' because that's not the human condition."

"Being on a farm, I read books," he's said. "I structure my day around the needs of my animals, not my animalistic friends."

"When you're young in Australia, you learn about the Tall Poppy syndrome. If you stick your head above the rest of the flowers, you get it lopped off."

"I've made 18 movies and I think I've given 18 bad performances. I'm still prepared to believe that I'm learning this job, and sooner or later I might give a performance I like."

"The only time I ever get a job in America is when all the other actors are distracted."

"It's about an emotional reaction. It's about where it actually gets you as an individual, because the same performance will affect a thousand people a thousand different ways."

[on winning the Best Actor Oscar] "If you grow up in the suburbs of anywhere, a dream like this seems kind of vaguely ludicrous and completely unattainable. But this moment is directly connected to those imaginings. And for anybody who's on the downside of advantage, and relying purely on courage, it's possible."

"I'd move to Los Angeles if Australia and New Zealand were swallowed up by a huge tidal wave, if there was a bubonic plague in Europe, and if the continent of Africa disappeared from some Martian attack."

"All that stuff, this public persona of me - let's call him 'the wild man' - that is not helpful. It doesn't make me more of a box office draw. It's the quality of my work that makes people want to go to my films."

"I always say I've given 24 insufficient performances and I'm looking forward to the time in my life when I'll do something that I think is good. There's always stuff you can do better, stuff that maybe you didn't uncover enough. But if you do something that you truly believe is perfect, then that's got to be the last movie you do."

Moulin Rouge quotes:

Christian:

Yes, I had come to live a penniless existence. I had come to write about truth, beauty, freedom, and that which I believed in above all things, love.

Luckily, right at that moment, an unconscious Argentinean fell through my roof. He was quickly joined by a dwarf dressed as a nun.

Above all things I believe in love. Love is like oxygen. Love is a many-splendoured thing. Love lifts us up where we belong. All you need is love!

II prefer to do it standingYou dont have to stand, I mean. Its sometimes that, its quite long, and Id like you to be comfortable. Its quite modern, what I do, and it may feel a little strange at first, butbut I think if youre open, then then you might enjoy it.

Thank you for curing me of my ridiculous obsession with love.

One not-so-very-special-day I went to my typewriter, sat down, and wrote our story. A story about a time, a story about a place, a story about the people. But above all things, a story about love. A love that will live forever.

Satine:

Whats his type? Wilting flower? Bright and bubbly? Or smouldering temptress?

How do I look? Smouldering temptress?

Christian, Im a courtesan. Im paid to make men believe what they want to believe.

I cant fall in love with anyone.

Youre going to be bad for business, I can tell.

The truth? The truth is, I am the Hindu courtesan. And I choose the maharajah.

Youve got so much to give. Telltell our story, Christian. Promise me. That way IllIll always be with you.

The Duke:

You expect me to believe that, scantily clad, in the arms of another man, in the middle of the night, inside an elephant, you were rehearsing?

Satine will be mine. Im not a jealous man, I just dont like other people touching my things!

Why would the courtesan choose a penniless sitar player over the maharajah, who is offering a lifetime of security? Thats real love. Once the sitar player has satisfied his lust, he will leave the courtesan with nothing. I suggest that in the end, the courtesan choose the maharajah.

Oh, I see. Its our very own penniless sitar player.

Zidler:

Use your talent to save him. Hurt him. Hurt him to save him. There is no other way. The show must go on, Satine. Were creatures of the underworld. We cant afford to love.

Toulouse:

Its her, the sparkling diamond.

Unbelievable! Straight to the elephant!

Hes got a huge talent!

Others:

Nini: This endings silly. Why would the courtesan go for the penniless writer? Whoops! I mean sitar player.

Argentinena: Never fall in love with a woman who sells herself, it always ends bad!

LA Confidential quotes:

Lynn: Some men get the world.  Others get ex-hookers and a trip to Arizona.

Pretty Woman:

EDWARD: What do you charge for company, Vivian?

VIVIAN: Company would cost you... a hundred dollars.

EDWARD: For the whole night?

VIVIAN: For an hour.

EDWARD: You're joking.

VIVIAN: I never joke about money.

EDWARD: Neither do I. A hundred bucks an hour though. That's pretty stiff.

VIVIAN: No, but it's getting there.

EDWARD: Vivian, how much to put up with me for the entire night?

VIVIAN: You couldn't afford it.

EDWARD: Try me.

VIVIAN: Three hundred.
