You should bear in mind that almost all my documentaries are feature films in disguise.
Werner Herzog
Image
I am someone who takes everything very literally. I simply do not understand irony, a defect I have had ever since I was able to think independently.
Werner Herzog
Image
For me a true landscape is not just a representation of a desert or a forest. It shows an inner state of mind, literally inner landscapes, and it is the human soul that is visible through the landscapes presented in my films.
Werner Herzog
Image
Roger Ebert was a very valiant soldier of cinema who passed away, and we miss him. It's over with serious discourse about cinema in the print media and on television. It has been replaced by celebrity news. So we are speaking in his spirit always.
Werner Herzog
Image
North Korea is not an exception. Even there, where you think it would be completely sober, they have the myth of their revolution being connected to the volcano.
Werner Herzog
Image
Fragility of modern world leaves me with the idea we'd better anticipate what's going on. We take our right steps today and now. And we'd better avoid, that we are overdependent on, let's say, the internet.
Werner Herzog
Image
Netflix knew I was going to North Korea and Ethiopia and Iceland. They saw the film and liked it and that was that.
Werner Herzog
Image
If your project has real substance, ultimately the money will follow you like a common cur in the street with its tail between its legs.
Werner Herzog
Image
The power of a volcano when it erupts is so evident, so visible, so palpable.
Werner Herzog
Image
I do other sorts of things. I act in other people's movies. I direct operas. I write books.
Werner Herzog
Image
What have we done to our images? What have we done to our embarrassed landscapes? I have said this before and will repeat it again as long as I am able to talk: if we do not develop adequate images we will die out like dinosaurs.
Werner Herzog
Image
I'm a very circumspect and prudent person, and I eliminate danger as far as it can be done.
Werner Herzog
Image
If you want to do a film, steal a camera, steal raw stock, sneak into a lab and do it!
Werner Herzog
Image
I always loved celluloid cameras in the early days that were sturdy and reliable. Even under tropical conditions and downpour of rain, it would still work.
Werner Herzog
Image
Gaining trust is not difficult for me. I needed to gain the trust of the North Korean supervisors.
Werner Herzog
Image
I believe the common denominator of the Universe is not harmony, but chaos, hostility and murder.
Werner Herzog
Image
When I film, there are no emotions. That would be the last thing.
Werner Herzog
Image
I work very fast and steadily, and I don't hardly ever notice that I'm working. It feels like just breathing or walking when I do films.
Werner Herzog
Image
Because you're delegated to a cook book recipe and you slavishly and pedantically rely on it while you're shooting and you're not relying on your creative instincts and you're not relying on something which brings life into movies and excitement into it.
Werner Herzog
Image
At the same time, there's something magnificent about volcanoes they created the atmosphere that we need for breathing.
