1. Charles Lister:

   I think the regime played a very, very sly game, they were playing spoiler with the full knowledge that the opposition’s patience would wear out.

2. Lisa Fields:

   A few of us have been able to see and speak with Connor on FaceTime and I am relieved to hear his voice, witness him move around and see that his sense of humor and strength are still intact, his sly smile says more than any scan, yet those are looking good, too. We are all overjoyed with the news that he is booked on a flight home.

3. Georges Bernanos:

   Justice in the hands of the powerful is
   merely a governing system like any other.
   Why call it justice? Let us rather call it injustice, but of a sly effective order, based entirely on cruel knowledge of the resistance of the weak, their capacity for pain, humiliation and misery.

4. Lati Grobman:

   I did go to the [‘ Rambo’ ] set. I spent a couple weeks there and just being around Sly, you absorb so much because he’ll go off and write a scene and come back and shoot it. He’s brilliant, he’ll write it right there. It’s amazing to see that happen. I’ve seen it a thousand times with him, he’ll have an idea to move the cameras around, to completely change the lighting, which he also did. So to just to watch him, do his thing, his art, is quite fascinating.

5. James Gunn:

   Always love working with my friend @officialslystallone our work today on #TheSuicideSquad was no exception, despite Sly being an iconic movie star, most people still don’t have any idea what an amazing actor this guy is.
