More quotes by Gus Van Sant
You're following your track, the story, your only plan, your map for the audience, and all the other stuff is, like, the fun stuff: the costumes, the locations, the set-dressing and the actors. They can all be variable as you like if you stick - however roughly - to the path.
Gus Van Sant
When you're on a film and you're doubting something, it's usually because you don't think the audience is going to like it.
Gus Van Sant
Narcotics have been systematically scapegoated and demonized. The idea that anyone can use drugs and escape a horrible fate is ananathema to these idiots. I predict that in the near future, right wingers will use drug hysteria as a pretext to set up an international police apparatus.
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
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
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'm normally drawn to something I haven't done and seen before.
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
I'd come into filmmaking as a painter so, for me, making 'Good Will Hunting' was experimental because I didn't know how to do it.
Gus Van Sant
Everything's changing so fast that it's sometimes hard to keep up.
Gus Van Sant
Even if you try to copy a film shot by shot, you still can't. It's still your own film.
Gus Van Sant
I used to take photographs just to remember people.
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
And Later I Thought, I Can't Think How Anyone Can Become a Director Without Learning the Craft of Cinematography.
Gus Van Sant
I've always been attracted to temporary families.
Gus Van Sant
I have my ideas of what a good documentary is, but drama is a different animal because you're arranging everything.
Gus Van Sant
If Im diagnosed with cancer I might become despondent, but someone young might not, and they might need connections with somebody outside their circle of family because their family is so despondent.
Gus Van Sant
Digital information, for every type of storage, is unfounded. If everything is on a hard drive and the hard drive freezes up, your whole photography collection could just go away. We can still look at printed photographs of our grandparents. We can physically hold them in our hands and look at it.
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
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
