Gus Van Sant

“When you get to the point where you're not having fun, it's not worth it.”

“A lot of times, you're looking for something that is really new and you're not going to find it.”

“If you want to be a filmmaker, you're a filmmaker.”

“The mainstream is a current that you have to swim in. I'm not a big fan of it.”

“I think people are always looking for a good story.”

“Sometimes you can't tell what's going to be a hit.”

“I was always wanting to be a filmmaker.”

“The thing I'm most interested in is seeing what turns out to be the best for the film.”

“I always think that the best thing to do is to be yourself.”

“I think that a lot of the time, people are just looking for a way to express themselves.”

“You can't really control what people are going to think of you.”

“The idea of celebrity is a weird one.”

“I like to work with people that I like.”
