I read for ‘Reservoir Dogs,’ and it got down to me and Buscemi, and Quentin couldn’t make up his mind. I really wanted that part, but Buscemi is great in that. I also got really close on ‘Gladiator,’ but Ridley Scott decided on Russell Crowe, who’s perfect in it. Tom Sizemore
There’s a basis for the war, historically, in the ‘Hunger Games,’ which would be the third servile war, which was Spartacus’ war, where you have a man who is a slave who is then turned into a gladiator who broke out of the gladiator school and led a rebellion and then became the face of the war. Suzanne Collins

Tennis players we’re always playing in center courts that feel like arenas. And when we get on the court and the crowd cheers your name or salutes you – it’s like you’re a gladiator in the arena. And everyone is cheering – and you’re fighting, you’re screaming, during your strokes – it feels like you’re an animal, fighting for your life. Novak Djokovic
I suppose ‘Gladiator’ could be a Western – if you were writing your review in Athens, that is! To be honest, we didn’t really think that way at the time. But there is common ground. And they both have horses – I liked that, obviously. Russell Crowe
It was very important to me to join an organization that has an established track record of helping young fighters grow into world class athletes and champions.

My best monster bass sounds have come from FM8. People think they all come from Massive, but most of the ones that kids online are trying to recreate in Massive are actually from FM8. I also really like Sylenth1, my Tone2 Gladiator and some other granular soft synths as well. Skrillex
If Russell Crowe says that he’s Noah, he’s Noah. You never doubt it. If he says that he’s the Gladiator, he’s the Gladiator. He’s every character that he says he is. I’ve never doubted anything that he’s done. Ryan Gosling
I really like ‘Gladiator.’ I like ‘The Dark Knight.’ I really liked, when I was a kid, ‘U.S. Marshalls.’ I like funny movies, too. ‘Old School’ and ‘The Hangover.’ ‘The Hangover’ was up there; I liked it. Matthew Stafford

Dana Loesch
I watch a lot of English films but one of my favourites is ‘Gladiator.’ It’s epic – if it doesn’t get you fired up, nothing will. Kelvin Fletcher
In ‘The Hunger Games,’ in most people’s idea, in terms of rebellion or a civil-war situation, that would meet the criteria for a necessary war. These people are oppressed, their children are being taken off and put in gladiator games. They’re impoverished, they’re starving, they’re brutalized. Suzanne Collins
I was doing ‘Twin Peaks,’ and Columbia called and said they wanted me to do ‘Gladiator.’ I thought it had the potential to be a real commercial film, so I was like a kid in a candy store. James Marshall

I loved ‘Gladiator,’ and I thought its depiction of gladiatorial combat, although it was an aggrandizing picture, was cleverly and expertly done. Mary Beard
Performing, not rehearsing, is a dancer’s raison d’etre, and I’ve been lucky to ‘etre’ in some extraordinary places – Cuba, Paris, Mongolia. In particular, a two-week stint in Greece leaps to mind. We danced in the Acropolis’s Herodes Atticus amphitheater, once a venue for gladiator spectacles. Sascha Radetsky

If you are a gladiator, a fighter in this sport, in life you can be the same. Claudio Ranieri

The story of a proud Roman soldier who is sold into slavery and must fight his way back to freedom, ‘Gladiator’ suggests what would happen if someone made a movie of the imminent extreme-football league and shot it as if it were a Chanel commercial. Elvis Mitchell
I think one of the successes of Gladiator is how we manage to turn on a dime the character from one thing to another where you believe he is one thing and he is something very different. Ridley Scott

Going after a part in Hollywood is like being a gladiator in ancient Rome. When it comes down to getting a role, you don’t have any friends, you’re incredibly competitive and any actor who tells you different is lying. Jonathan Rhys Meyers
I’m a visual writer, so it’s fitting that my first brush with ‘Red Queen’ was an image. I had the idea of a teenage girl in an arena, a bit like ‘Gladiator,’ and she’s about to be executed. But instead of being killed, she kills her executioner with lightning. Victoria Aveyard
If performance management were a movie, it will become less ‘Gladiator’ and more ‘Moneyball.’ Reid Hoffman

Debra Granik
