Oscar winning actor Russell Crowe has reportedly said that he might quit Hollywood if he is found guilty in an assault case, according to contactmusic.com.

The "Gladiator" actor has been accused of throwing a phone at an employee at the New York City hotel in a fit of anger. Crowe, an Australian, faces immigration problems if he is convicted.

But Crowe said he would be more than happy to leave Hollywood since he has been mistreated with regard to the alleged incident.

He said: "Maybe it's better I don't travel to America. Maybe it's better I don't work in the area of the business that attracts so many flies. You tell me to p**s off too many times and I probably will."
