When the camera is looking back at our planet Earth, it's the tiniest of specks somewhere out there in the universe. So we do have a new sense of proportion. Of course the volcanoes and the magma under us just remind us of that.

The trees are in misery, and the birds are in misery. I don’t think they sing. They just screech in pain. …Taking a close look at what’s around us, there is some sort of harmony: it’s the harmony of overwhelming and collective murder.

We live in a society that has no adequate images anymore, and if we do not find adequate images and an adequate language for our civilization with which to express them, we will die out like the dinosaurs.

I cannot work fast enough. I cannot cope fast enough, really. And just releasing a film is hard.

I find it interesting that there are impostors out on the Internet pretending to be 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.

I do not believe in the Cinema verite. Sometimes a really good lie is better than any truth.

I do whatever pushes me hardest. It's coming at me and I try to... it's like uninvited guest and I have to wrestle them out the door or through the window - get them out and get over with them quickly.

Every man should pull a boat over a mountain once in his life.

I wouldn't make a connection between the daily news and volcanoes.

My contacts with the film industry can be described in very simple terms: The industry does not really need me, and I do not really need the industry.

It's not far-fetched that almost everywhere in the world where you have volcanoes you have mythologies or new gods being created.
