Gus Van Sant Quotes

The area of teenage life is not necessarily rarefied; we’ve all gone through that period. It’s not as rarefied as a western or a space adventure or a gangster film, but it has its own dynamic Picture Quote #1

I think that in some cases, I’ve made films that have a sentimental quality, at least as part of the film Picture Quote #1

Because I didn’t have brothers, I was always interested in the kids down the street that had four brothers in their family, so I became one of them - but it was not my family. I’ve always been attracted to temporary families. They tend to be lost characters Picture Quote #1

If a movie isn’t released, it’s one thing, but if you know it will be, it’s nice to have closure and see it come out Picture Quote #1

If it were up to the executives, they probably wouldn’t have directors at all Picture Quote #1

Free time keeps me going. It’s just something that’s always been a part of my life. I was originally a painter, and I made films sort of as an extension of that, and then I started to try to make dramatic films because the early films were experimental films Picture Quote #1

I’m not being analytical. I just create everything intuitively. If you’re too analytical, what you’re doing probably ends up being too specific Picture Quote #1

One of the things that is devastating is I realise I haven’t been living a different life than when I was, like, 12. I’m shocked at how reclusive I’ve been since then. I was unaware of it until recently Picture Quote #1

There are all kinds of ways that people present their films, but that’s kind of a good feeling, if you can make it seem like the characters are really there Picture Quote #1

There is a way that a younger person can accept the inevitable problem that they’re going to die, whereas somebody a little bit older might be overcome Picture Quote #1

Usually when I read something, first of all I’m looking for the story and then when I reread it, I’m sort of checking every part of it to see if every scene is necessary Picture Quote #1

When I was 14, I felt very rundown; I had a home to go to, but I felt like I was 60 or something, older than I feel now. And I don’t know if it’s something that happens at 14, or whether it was adolescence or whether I was gay, or closeted gay, or whatever it was, I felt that Picture Quote #1

I try to get to know the actors as much as I can. I feel like I’m friends with them for starters and for a week or two, we rehearse when they’re getting the costumes together Picture Quote #1

Death Valley is really wide open - it's bigger than Rhode Island - and it's less a part of California than an ungoverned territory, so there's lots of weird cops and robbers stuff going on Picture Quote #1

No construction stiff working overtime takes more stress and straining than we did just to stay high Picture Quote #1

You never look at the backside of a mirror because when you do, it’ll affect your future because you’re looking at yourself backwards. No, you’re looking at your inner self and you don’t recognize it because you’ve never seen it before Picture Quote #1

It’s hard to speculate as a human about the afterlife because you’re not in it. And it’s probably as wild and wacky as you could imagine. The idea that people have figured it out, I’m not sure if I can fathom that Picture Quote #1
