Famous quotes by Gus Van Sant:

"Gay marriage is the last bastion of, to me... as a legal, ceremonial, sentimental and religious side, it's one of the last steps. Retaining your job being one of the earlier steps, like, not getting kicked out of your job because you're gay."

"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."

"The biopic also wasn't a form that I necessarily believed in, because you can never really get it right, you know? It's also a form that's very popular - the straight-ahead biopic."

"There's always a risk if you don't do things the way you've done things before."

"I mean, I think I'm pretty sentimental."

"I've told people who have just started to make a film that the one thing you might experience is this feeling that everybody is conspiring against you, because you're not necessarily able to tell what's real and what's not."

"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."

"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."

"Well, I want to do everything in sort of a documentary style, ever since I started in the '80s."

"I had wanted to do a comedy."

"Everything's changing so fast that it's sometimes hard to keep up."

"I don't usually direct actors in the classic sense of that word. Instead, I try to remind the characters before the shoot what's going on in a very simple way. I then watch them, their inventions as actors, approving or not approving what they're doing."

"I've always been interested in how to present something that relates to our reality - which is not really... I don't even know if documentary itself does as good a job. It has its own problems in trying to get at the reality of the situation."

"Free time keeps me going."

"I'm usually trying to react to what the actors are coming up with. And then the environment, and then the story."

"Even if you try to copy a film shot by shot, you still can't. It's still your own film."

"I did 'Mala Noche' as a way to do something that was outside of the system, because I was outside of the system, and I deliberately chose material that Hollywood wouldn't touch in a million years."

"You know, I don't think I had a concept of what I would be or do."

"The media has gone through lots of things that make it a less foreign thing to have your lead character be gay."

"I think that in some cases, I've made films that have a sentimental quality, at least as part of the film."
