Words matter. These are the best Gavin O’Connor Quotes, and they’re great for sharing with your friends.
The script is just a blueprint.
I remember, after ‘Tumbleweeds,’ my friend and I wrote ‘Pride and Glory.’ I was just about to get it going. I had some really great actors attached, and New Line was going to make the movie, and 9/11 happened. And it was over. By September 12, it was over. And rightfully so. I understood that.
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.
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.
My brother and I were separated when I was a child; we went with different parents.
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 when I was 7 until I was 22, I played football. That was always my struggle as a kid. I always wanted to be an artist, but my parents were divorced, and my dad really wanted me to play sports, and that’s how I got to see him. He would come pick me up or take me to practice, and he was always at my games.
I always intended the title, ‘WARRIOR,’ to be about spiritual warfare and warrior lives outside of the cage.
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.
Ever since I was a kid, I wanted to make films. That’s really all I ever wanted to do.
