More quotes by 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'm normally drawn to something I haven't done and seen before.
Gus Van Sant
If you don't have the story and the unfolding of the trajectory of the saga, it's like getting in a car and not having any gas.
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.

The dark comedies tend to be in a non-releasable area. There can be romantic comedies. There can be dramas. But there's no 'dark comedy' inbox for the advertising.
Gus Van Sant
The things that inform student culture are created and controlled by the unseen culture, the sociological aspects of our climbing culture, our 'me' generation, our yuppie culture, our SUVs, or, you know, shopping culture, our war culture.
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
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

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
Upon entering my vein, the drug would start a warm edge that would surge along until the brain consumed it in a gentle explosion.It began in the back of the neck and rose rapidly until I felt such pleasure that the world sympathizing took on a soft, lofty appeal.
Gus Van Sant
There's a lot of films that have relatively rigid road maps because they have a script and others that are less rigid because they have less of a script, like 'Elephant.' The road map becomes more interpretive, maybe, than one with a detailed script. Editing-wise, they all have their problems.
Gus Van Sant
I think over the course of 14 films, I'm returning to a place that I know to tell a story... the same way Spielberg returned to fantasy, Lucas returned to the 'Star Wars' saga, or John Ford returned to the western.
Gus Van Sant
I was once a shameless, full-time dope fiend.
Gus Van Sant
I used to take photographs just to remember people.
Gus Van Sant
My department is to get actors to do stuff.
