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.

You can't believe Russell Crowe is the same actor who won an Oscar one year ago for Gladiator.

Michael Caine is a movie star, but he's also a great actor. I can't say that about every movie star. It's the concentration he has.

I had a good time working with Russell Crowe, Ron Howard and Ed Harris. It was a great cast and Russell worked really hard, doing tons of research and questioning everything.

I believe Mel Gibson is an extraordinary talent.

I think actors do make really, really wonderful directors.

Actors I admire? Ed Harris, or course, I think he's terrific; because I know he always had to fight being what he looked like a lot, but I think he's a terrific actor.

Samuel L. Jackson is one of the best actors there is.

Morgan Freeman is a very giving actor.
