I always intended the title, 'WARRIOR,' to be about spiritual warfare and warrior lives outside of the cage.

My brother and I were separated when I was a child; we went with different parents.

The thing I learned from 'Pride and Glory' is that people like to feel a little better leaving the theater than they did coming in.

From Gavin O'Connor

The thing about Moby Dick is that, at heart, it's a very simple plot - there's only one white whale in the ocean. When you're a boy growing up in a hostile home, you imagine it's unique: it's happening only to you.

From Gavin O'Connor

I always say to my agents, you go through one of these big kind of movies, everyone makes money, but like, I said, 'I'm the one who's gotta go make it, and if I don't have my heart in it, and it's like a love affair, I'm not going to do a good job. Then, and I don't want to just get paid. I just, I don't want to do that.'

From Gavin O'Connor

At least I want to be making films that are somehow born out of me that are stories I want to tell. The challenge is figuring out how to do it where you can make them personal, yet still deliver to an audience a film experience that is satisfying and emotional, and that's what I'm trying to do.

From Gavin O'Connor

Ever since I was a kid, I wanted to make films. That's really all I ever wanted to do.

From Gavin O'Connor

Sundance is going to be a defining moment in my life. But the unfortunate thing about Sundance is, when you have a film there, you can't have the opportunity to see other films.

From Gavin O'Connor

As a kid, when most of my friends were into Superman and Batman, there was only one superhero who held my interest - The Green Hornet.

From Gavin O'Connor

The Green Hornet was a human superhero. And he didn't wear a clown costume. And he was a criminal - in the eyes of the law - and in the eyes of the criminal world.
