I'm thinking of remaking 'Psycho' again. Doing a third remake. The idea this time is to really change it - we're talking about doing a punk rocker setting.

More quotes by Gus Van Sant
The artist himself is actually the subject in everything after, say, 1900. Eventually, art becomes so removed from the community that you have to know about the artist before you can even look at the painting, because there is a conceptual idea going on.
Gus Van Sant
Well, I want to do everything in sort of a documentary style, ever since I started in the '80s.
Gus Van Sant
A lot of times, you're not necessarily off the page because you haven't been able to take the time to prepare a character. It's very easy to find even great actors reading it more like a reading. Things aren't really coming alive yet, even though you know they will.
Gus Van Sant
Everything's changing so fast that it's sometimes hard to keep up.
Gus Van Sant
I've always been attracted to temporary families.
Gus Van Sant
I have this new theory about films. It's almost like astrology, where if we started on a Tuesday the film will be different than if we started on a Wednesday. Not because of the planets. It's that sometimes you start with the wrong balance and the whole thing gets messed up.
Gus Van Sant
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.
Gus Van Sant
I'm usually trying to react to what the actors are coming up with. And then the environment, and then the story.
Gus Van Sant
I find it interesting, the different rules that apply to journalism and drama, even though journalism has become more and more about entertainment, and entertainment has become more and more about journalism.
Gus Van Sant
In high school, I read 'Silas Marner' and I was very attracted to this character - he was very rundown and he'd just stop, and things would happen around him.
Gus Van Sant
I was once a shameless, full-time dope fiend.
Gus Van Sant
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.
Gus Van Sant
I think that in some cases, I've made films that have a sentimental quality, at least as part of the film.
Gus Van Sant
I'm normally drawn to something I haven't done and seen before.
Gus Van Sant
Apparently there’s this kind of songbird that thinks it dies every time the sun goes down. In the morning, when it wakes up, it’s totally shocked to still be alive—so it sings this really beautiful song.
Gus Van Sant
I'm going in a really weird I-don't-know-where direction, but I prefer anything [different] from how standardized filmmaking has become.
Gus Van Sant
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.
Gus Van Sant
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.
Gus Van Sant
I used to take photographs just to remember people.
Gus Van Sant
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.
