More quotes by Werner Herzog
I wouldn't like to travel at all. I've been too much around.
Werner Herzog
If the part is really good of course I would like to do it.
Werner Herzog
I think I'm a prudent filmmaker.
Werner Herzog
I think I would be a good villain in a James Bond movie. They were fairly weak, the last half-dozen of villains in James Bond movies were not that convincing.
Werner Herzog
ِِِِِِِِِِArt house theaters are vanishing. They have almost disappeared completely, and that means there's a shift in what audiences want to see. And they have to be aware of that and be realistic. It's as simple as that.
Werner Herzog
I'm not into digital marketing, downloading, or streaming - I've always been a man of the theaters.
Werner Herzog
This is the birth of the modern human soul. The artists are like us, not like the Neanderthals, who had no culture - and who incidentally were still roaming the landscape at the time the paintings were made. It is striking that there is a distant cultural echo that seems to reach all the way down to us, over dozens of millennia.
Werner Herzog
You must live life in its very elementary forms. The Mexicans have a very nice word for it: pura vida. It doesn't mean just purity of life, but the raw, stark-naked quality of life. And that's what makes young people more into a filmmaker than academia.
Werner Herzog
I do not recall to [Kim Jong-un], but it was complex. Dear young leader of the people and chairman of the joint military commission or something like that.
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
I know what I'm talking about and I've never been over budget, in 70 films.
Werner Herzog
I like and I love everything that has to do with cinema, writing, directing, editing, creating music, and even acting.
Werner Herzog
I'm not a journalist I'm a poet. I had a discourse, an encounter with these people but I never had a list of questions.
Werner Herzog
Our presence on this planet does not seem to be sustainable. Our technical civilization makes up particularly vulnerable. There is talk all over the scientific community about climate change. Many of them [scientists] agree, the end of human life on earth is assured.
Werner Herzog
After Jack Reacher the parts I didn't like, most of it was silly.
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
There's happens to be a volcano in the vicinity and there's some talk about a volcano as well, so that's the title Salt and Fire
Werner Herzog
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
If you don't read, you will never be a filmmaker.
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
