The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Anton Corbijn

  • I’ve gotten used to not looking too far into the future; it’s best when you can begin each day anew.
  • I’ve finally become an old guy.
  • I don’t want to continue to do what I did when I was 20. I would like to continue to develop myself and not continue to hang around with bands.
  • I’ve always thought photography was a bit of an adventure, so to come home with the film, develop it, then look at the results has more of a sense of excitement.
  • I love body language.
  • Apart from photography and music videos, I also do graphic design.
  • I am a village boy, and Amsterdam for me was always the big town.
  • The really simple approach to photography is a great balance to making the films.
  • 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.
  • Analog is more beautiful than digital, really, but we go for comfort.

Anton Corbijn, born on May 20, 1955, in Strijen, Netherlands, is a renowned Dutch photographer, music video director, and filmmaker.
