- Russell: I want 17 or so kids. I say to my wife, 'Imagine having a daughter! A little you running around!' She just smiles and nods and says 'Yeah, yeah ... no.'

- Russell: (revealing his funny side while filming Nottingham) I'd wait until Leonardo [DiCaprio] was sitting in the make-up chair and I'd walk past him and go 'Achew!'. Then I would squirt ... this spray bottle so just little bits of fine mist would form on his face and he'd obviously assume it was mucus.

- Russell: (on having long hair for the film Nottingham) I hate having long hair – it's like walking around with a dead koala on your back!
