Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ki a koe, he mea noa iho pea he potae ma, engari ki te toa o te Academy Award, ki a Russell Crowe, he nui ake, he nui ake i tera. I tuhia e te whetū o te Gladiator he mihi whakamiharo, 12 nga waahanga ki te fedora ma i runga i tana kaute Twitter i te mutunga wiki. I kite a Crowe i te potae 'whero, ma' i whiua ki te whenua 'i mua noa o te ata' mai i tetahi waahi pai i tana nohoanga i Madrid i te Rahoroi. Na te kaha o taua mahi i whakaoho ai i ahau ki te whakaaro nui, ki te whakaaro hoki ki te ora. I runga anō i tētahi wāhanga pai o te potae, ko te toa o te Academy Award, ko Russell Crowe e whakaahuahia ana i konei i roto i tētahi whakaaturanga mai i Les Miserables. I whakaohohia e tēnei'whero whero'he rerenga whakaaro mai i te whetū o te Gladiator me te Water Diviner. 'I whakaaroaro ahau ki te mea ngaro me nga take mutunga kore,' i kii a Crowe. 'He aha te mea i kawea mai ai te tangata ki te patuki i tana whutupaoro ma me te roopu pango i te huarahi i Madrid i muri noa iho i te ata? 'He aha e kawea te tangata ki taua? Neke atu i te kotahi haora, i whakaaroaro te rangatira o te South Sydney Rabbitohs i te wā uaua o te potae. I whakaahuatia e ia he 'kino' me te 'kino'. I te mutunga ka kohia e ia te potae mai i te whenua, engari i oati ia kia kaua e mau ki a ia na te mea he 'whakaaro.' Ka horoia e ahau te puehu, ka waiho ki roto ki tenei ruuma. 'Haere mai raumati, i runga i te ra werawera, pea ka riro te reira i te tahi mau hatless tangata potae waimarie. Ko te mutunga. 'He aha te mea i kawea mai ai tētahi tangata ki te patuki i tana kākahu whero me te kākahu pango i te huarahi i Madrid i te ata tonu?' I pātai a Crowe. 'Kua kite ahau i tana whakahekenga': Ka whakaahuatia a Crowe e whakaaro ana i nga whakaaro o tenei potae motuhake. Kei konei a Crowe me tana hoa o mua a Danielle Spencer.
Ko te whetu o Water Diviner a Russell Crowe e tuhi ana i tētahi mihi ātaahua ki tētahi whāriki mā. I kite a Crowe i tētahi tangata e pana ana i te potae mai i tana nohoanga i Madrid, ā, i whakamiharo ia i taua wā. 'Kua werohia e ia. Kāore i te pēhi, i te whānuitanga, i te whānuitanga, i te maia hoki o ngā patunga i ētahi wā ka rere, ka rere, i ētahi wā ka huri, ka peke. I mahue te potae i muri i tana rangatira o mua. I muri mai ka kohikohi a Crowe i te potae engari i whakatau ia kaore ia e mau ki a ia na te mea he 'whakaaro' 'Kia tae mai te raumati, i te ra werawera, tera pea ka waiho hei potae waimarie mo etahi taangata kore potae' (sic)
