I wanted to do a film for a while, but I never found a script that I felt I was going to be the right person for; because if you've never made a film, you're not taught how to make a film, and you feel like you lack skills. Anton Corbijn feelfeltfilm share on social
In 1979, I moved to England and photographed Joy Division and Bowie and Beefheart.

'Control' had to do with my own life a lot, and that's why that seemed to be a film I could be the director of, because I had an emotional attachment to the whole story. And because of that experience, I feel that I can try other films. I didn't set out to become a director. Anton Corbijn attachmentcontroldirector share on social
I wanted to make a film as an artist, and it's going to have to find an audience, you know. I don't know how big the audience will be. Anton Corbijn artistaudiencebig Change image and share on social
I feel a responsibility to myself, and not so much for the world at large. Because of my Calvinistic upbringing, I was trained to think that what you do has to have a purpose. Anton Corbijn calvinisticfeellarge Change image and share on social
