Gus Van Sant's quotes
- When asked "Why in the hell would you want to do a shot-by-shot remake of Psycho in color?" He serenely replied "So no one else would have to."
- Kubrick was a good model. He had an autonomy I've never had but that one desire. He organized things a certain way. And he had a good relationship with Warner Brothers. He was their class act.
- I'm really going in a weird I-don't-know-where direction. I prefer it to anything like what standardised filmmaking has become.
