More quotes by Werner Herzog
Every man should pull a boat over a mountain once in his life.
Werner Herzog
For example, how you would introduce a leading character into your film, and as an absolute ingenious example, [Elia] Kazan in his film Viva Zapata!, how he introduces his leading character Marlon Brando into the film. No film ever did it as wonderful as he did it.
Werner Herzog
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
You better make yourself acquainted to what the requirements are, what the value of money is all about and how you create a long-term survival, and in many cases it has to do with how you handle finances.
Werner Herzog
James Joyce is a cul-de-sac. [Ulysses is] ... an example how literature branched out and went into, lost itself in nowhere, no man's land.
Werner Herzog
You have to be completely open to what people would tell you. You do not shape them you do not force the materials into your ideas. You have to have all windows and doors open.
Werner Herzog
Robert Rodriguez, makes a feature film in 35mm celluloid one and a half hours long, and nobody believed him, I think he wrote a book about it and gave all the details of how he spent the money, even making a 35mm celluloid feature film was possible, at least for Rodriguez.
Werner Herzog
As for the anger of the volcano, we leave it up to the local populations who create their demons, their gods and their divine punishment.
Werner Herzog
I think it is a quest of literature throughout the ages to describe the human condition.
Werner Herzog
I went to volcanoes where I knew that there was a lot of mythology around them there was something like the creation of gods and monsters and demons.
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
It's not far-fetched that almost everywhere in the world where you have volcanoes you have mythologies or new gods being created.
Werner Herzog
The collapse of the stellar universe will occur - like creation - in grandiose splendor.
Werner Herzog
It's funny how in the long time of me working in various countries and various situations that there is this kind of idea out in the media that I am a daredevil and that I risk the lives of everyone around me, but nobody ever gets hurt on my shoot. Some crew members sometimes, but the actors are OK.
Werner Herzog
For example, the face of Nicole Kidman in Queen of the Desert and she is the most beautiful goddess on screen that you can find anywhere around in the world. There's no imperfections, and yet I don't need to know every single pore in her face.
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
At the same time, there's something magnificent about volcanoes they created the atmosphere that we need for breathing.
Werner Herzog
I find it interesting that there are impostors out on the Internet pretending to be Werner Herzog.
Werner Herzog
I wouldn't like to travel at all. I've been too much around.
Werner Herzog
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
