Similar thing until today, with digital cameras you look after something like that as robust as they can be.

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.

Technology has a great advantage in that we are capable of creating dinosaurs and show them on the screen even though they are extinct 65 million years. All of a sudden, we have a fantastic tool that is as good as dreams are.
Werner Herzog
Image
I am not an artist and never have been. Rather I am like a craftsman and feel very close to the mediaeval artisans who produced their work anonymously and who, along with their apprentices, had a true feeling for the physical materials they were working with.

Image
I despise formal restaurants. I find all of that formality to be very base and vile. I would much rather eat potato chips on the sidewalk.
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.

We have to articulate ourselves. Otherwise we would be cows in the field.
Werner Herzog
Image
I have been in lots of very intense life situations. I have been shot at, and I have been hungry, and I have been in solitude, and I have also briefly been behind bars. So in a way, I know the heart of men.

Tourism is a mortal sin.
Werner Herzog
Image
I discover no kinship, no understanding, no mercy. I see only the overwhelming indifference of nature.
Werner Herzog
Image
It's all movies for me. And besides, when you say documentaries, in my case, in most of these cases, means feature film in disguise.
Werner Herzog
Image
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
Image
I was able to persuade them to let me shoot in areas that were beyond the volcano itself. Beyond the joint scientific program between Cambridge University and North Korean scientists. I was able to film in a kindergarten, subway, other things you would not normally be allowed to do.

Image
If you want to propose marriage to your girlfriend and you live in England and she is in Sicily, do the decent thing and walk down there. Travelling by car or aeroplane wouldn't be right at such a moment.
Werner Herzog
Image
Public life is constantly aware of the volcano.
Werner Herzog
Image
I shouldn't make movies anymore. I should go to a lunatic asylum.
Werner Herzog
Image
When I film, there are no emotions. That would be the last thing.
Werner Herzog

There is never an excuse not to finish a film.
