Quote

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.

I do other sorts of things. I act in other people's movies. I direct operas. I write books.

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
Facts do not convey truth. That's a mistake. Facts create norms, but truth creates illumination.

Image
After Jack Reacher the parts I didn't like, most of it was silly.
Werner Herzog

I am a product of my failures.
Werner Herzog
Image
Without dreams we would be cows in a field, and I don't want to live like that. I live my life or I end my life with this project.
Werner Herzog
Image
I always had a feeling, for example, that there should be something from Verdi's Requiem in the film. You hear it when you see the lava flow in Iceland. That turned out to be a very easy choice.
Werner Herzog
Image
Maybe I should stay a good soldier of cinema.
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
I wouldn't make a connection between the daily news and volcanoes.
Werner Herzog

For me, the distinction between documentaries and feature films is not so clear - my documentaries were largely scripted, rehearsed, and repeated, and have a lot of fantasy and concoction in them.
Werner Herzog
Image
I prefer the material woman.

Do you not then hear this horrible scream all around you that people usually call silence.

While you are walking you would learn much more about filmmaking than if you were in a classroom. During your voyage you will learn more about what your future holds than in five years at film school. Your experiences would be the very opposite of academic knowledge, for academia is the death of cinema. It is the very opposite of passion.
