For me N.M.E. was a very big thing. When I first came to the United Kingdom I started taking pictures for them and I became their main photographer for five years, and that's really been the basis of everything I've been doing since.

With a film, you try to keep your vision in it. I think with 'The American' and 'Control' I managed to do that.

There's a lot about records that you cannot feel from a CD.
Anton Corbijn -
I have such a love of good music that I find even melancholic music uplifting. Maybe I'm a rare breed.
Anton Corbijn -
I do have an ego, but I acknowledge the help I get.
Anton Corbijn -
Once you make decisions, you can't go back, but in photography, that process can continue. With film, you have to eliminate all the possibilities and make the one possibility work the best for you, so you have to become very creative with the direction you've chosen.
Anton Corbijn -
Working with actors is something I've never done before. I find it tremendous. It's hard work.
Anton Corbijn -
For many years I wanted to do a film, but I never had the courage to clear my desk and say, 'OK I'll take a year off and do a film.'

I've gotten used to not looking too far into the future; it's best when you can begin each day anew.
Anton Corbijn -

Anton Corbijn -
The only advantage of the CD is that you have a booklet that can tell a bit of a story, but the little covers are just boring. I love vinyl, and I have loads of it. It's the same thing as digital photography versus film photography. It's a quality thing.
