John Nash
To give an example of the way Nash's mind works, Crowe explained his first meeting with the Nobel Prize winner. " He popped up unannounced during the first week of shooting. When I met John it was more fascination than anything else. Here was the person I'd been obsessing about. I stood in front of him and asked him a simple question, "Would you like a coffee or tea?". Fifteen minutes later, I got somewhere near an answer from him. Such is the level of examination that he'll place on everything that comes his way. He said " If I have coffee should I have it with milk or with sugar? But if I have it with milk or sugar, would it still be coffee or would it be sugary milk? And if I have a coffee, will that give me more or less pleasure than if I have a cup of tea? And if I have a cup of tea, how can I be sure it's going to be of the density and the fullness of flavour that I actually enjoy, because southern Indian teas are not necessarily to my palette. I prefer northern Indian teas." He went on and on and on, and I ended up using it in the film. So every second that I spent in front of him there was always useful information"
