Anton Corbijn

So I thought, well, maybe if I ever make a movie, maybe this should be it, you know.

So that's how that started.

Well, I don't think I was really used to judging scripts, to be honest.

So I think I was lucky it was a good story.

The only thing is I made it linear, the whole story.

The original script was not linear, and it jumped from one gig to another.

It was just so confusing reading it, and I thought, well, people can't tell the difference between the gigs.

So we made it linear.

Then, of course, the...

Oh, she's wonderful.

I mean, she got the movie started, to be very honest, I think.

Without her name on the actors thing, I don't think we would have been greenlit.

So I met her when I did a music video for U2 called Electrical Storm.

I thought she was great.

And then she said, if you ever need somebody for a movie.

So she was the first one I called.

I didn't know many actors anyway.

But yes, I'm very happy that she got that rolling.

I always call it the pain of creating that I find more attractive than the show on the stage.

I think because I had a really difficult start with photography and it's the only thing I thought I could do.
