More quotes by Werner Herzog
I don't spend sleepless nights over getting very bad reviews.
Werner Herzog
My non-fiction films are pretty much fiction, or at least close... It's all movies for me. I never have searched for a subject. They always just come along. They never come by way of decision-making. They just haunt me. I can't get rid of them. I did not invite them.
Werner Herzog
I am somebody who creates images, with my perspectives, fascinations and my instincts as a narrator. You have to activate the audience's imagination. If you are just giving them scientific results, they would forget the film in five minutes flat.
Werner Herzog
Once in a while I come across a director who hasgrown up thousands of miles from me, and the work touches me.Through these issues/50/images I am connected and something is illuminated.And I know then that I am not alone.
Werner Herzog
I'm not into the culture of complaint. I roll up my sleeves and somehow I get it together.
Werner Herzog
Martin Luther was asked, what would you do if tomorrow the world would come to an end, and he said, 'I would plant an apple tree today.' This is a real good answer. I would start shooting a movie.
Werner Herzog
It's curiosity, and always a sense of poetry. You see it in particular in the chapter Iceland where I'm reciting ancient Icelandic poetry. It has this very beautiful gravitas in conjunction with the volcanoes.
Werner Herzog
Facts do not convey truth. That's a mistake. Facts create norms, but truth creates illumination.
Werner Herzog
What I do not like, the kind of high-resolution cameras, 4K, 6K, for shooting dialogue, for having faces and close-ups of actors, and you see every single pore in the skin.
Werner Herzog
Look into the eyes of a chicken and you will see real stupidity. It is a kind of bottomless stupidity, a fiendish stupidity. They are the most horrifying, cannibalistic and nightmarish creatures in the world.
Werner Herzog
If you do not have an absolutely clear vision of something, where you can follow the light to the end of the tunnel, then it doesn't matter whether you're bold or cowardly, or whether you're stupid or intelligent. Doesn't get you anywhere.
Werner Herzog
Sometimes bad luck hits you like in an ancient Greek tragedy, and it's not your own making. When you have a plane crash, it's not your fault.
Werner Herzog
Everything that I've done was prudent and never has anyone gotten hurt in my films - not a single actor, not a single extra, ever.
Werner Herzog
I always felt completely confident - it's like in a feature film, knowing your principle character is extremely well-cast. I had that same confidence in Clive [Oppenheimer].
Werner Herzog
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.
Werner Herzog
One of the most original and poetic works of cinema made anywhere in the seventies.
Werner Herzog
I do have a clear vision, and I do see things that are existing in my quote-unquote spirit, but that doesn't necessary make me a very spiritual person.
Werner Herzog
I do not believe in the Cinema verite. Sometimes a really good lie is better than any truth.
Werner Herzog
If an actor knows how to milk a cow, I always know it will not be difficult to be in business with him.
Werner Herzog
Only the poets can hold the country together, and I wanted to hold Germany together.
Werner Herzog
