Russell Crowe on Gladiator 2:

On the surface, they might go for entertainment, but if they’re going to love something and keep it with them forever, like that movie? …The love for that thing is because of its moral core.

The next great American novel is going to be written by someone the literary world would never take seriously, and that’s exactly why it will be a masterpiece. Nobody with a MFA from a fancy school, a book deal, an agent, a trust fund can write this era of America. It’s not possible. All they can do is stand outside and describe it with pretty words. It’ll come from somebody who lived the last 20 years of this country from inside its throat. They won’t have to describe anything because they’ve been breathing it, eating it, surviving it, and begging it for mercy. That’s the ONLY next great American novel worth reading. If it’s you, don’t stop.
