Image
I have a great map of the Tibesti Mountains in the southern Sahara or Northern Chad. It's a dream of mine to go there, but it's such a volatile area, you have to be prudent.
Werner Herzog
Image
Money doesn't make films. You just do it and take the initiative.
Werner Herzog
Image
Similar thing until today, with digital cameras you look after something like that as robust as they can be.
Werner Herzog
Image
I know whenever it comes to be really dysfunctional and vile and base and hostile on screen, I'm good at that.
Werner Herzog
Image
There's more substance in my prose and my poetry than in all my films together. Writing is a more direct way of expressing yourself because, in cinema, you always have finances, organization, actors, technical apparatus and all that stuff coming in between.
Werner Herzog
Image
For a film I shot on the most difficult mountain on God's wide earth in Patagonia for a sequence where there was high probability some digital effects were needed, somebody made storyboards and I quickly ignored them, after half an hour I ignored them and I never used any digital effect.

Werner Herzog
Image
You should bear in mind that almost all my documentaries are feature films in disguise.
Werner Herzog
Image
You can fight a rumour only with an even wilder rumour.
Werner Herzog

I wouldn't like to travel at all. I've been too much around.
Werner Herzog
Image
Very often, footage that you have shot develops its own dynamic, it's own life, that is totally unexpected, and moves away from you're original intentions. And you have to acknowledge, yes, there is a child growing and developing and moving in a direction that isn't expected-accept it as it is and let it develop its own life.

Image
I love nature but against my better judgment.
Werner Herzog
Image
I never planned my career in steps. It's all coming at me like burglars in the night.

The beauty of Netflix is on the 28th of October they push a button and the film will be in 190 countries at the same moment in 17 languages.
Werner Herzog
Image
I make films because I have not learned anything else and I know I can do it to a certain degree. And it is my duty because this might be the inner chronicle of what we are. We have to articulate ourselves, otherwise we would be cows in the field.

Image
You can't have a helicopter fly over boiling lava. It would've exploded from the heat, and is just way too dangerous. The pilot of a helicopter would've flatly refused anyway.
