Anton Yelchin’s 5 most popular quotes
- There’s only a handful of people I trust completely, and I know who they are. Other than that, I pretty much don’t trust people.
- I was drawn to photography as an extension of film, and the beauty of film is that it’s a sensuous, fetishistic medium.
- I think its important for movies to recognize that they are part of a history of movies. I also think that most movies are about movies anyway, even if they’re about something else.
- I’m trying to figure out what I can do creatively. It’s about trying to find new things and trying to figure out voices and borrowing from things and learning as much as possible so that I have an archive of things to borrow from.
- I usually bring a point and shoot with me so I can go out on the weekends and shoot a bit. I used to bring more cameras, but I’m also an Ebay nut so sometimes I’ll order something if I’m really pining for it when I’m on location.
