![“My definition [of genius] would be about being completely involved in your art form. So that's outside of sciences. Within the arts it's about taking people on a journey, being able to involve me completely-whether you're singing a song, whether it's in the theater, whether you're dancing-if you…” quote by Russell Crowe](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/f30/russell-crowe-3564_able_my-definition-of-genius-would-be-about-b_55463.jpg)
