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.

I must say, the people who started this whole Masterclass series have been very helpful and very intelligent to point out certain things and also give me some guidance, isn't there something missing, shouldn't we address this or that? so it's not completely alone out of the blue. It's very well thought through.

There are certainly laws and elements that make a film more accessible to mainstream audiences. If you've got Tom Cruise as a strongman, I'm sure it would have larger audiences, but it wouldn't have the same substance.

I'm not into digital marketing, downloading, or streaming - I've always been a man of the theaters.

Of course, as a German, I wouldn't like to tell the American people how to handle their criminal justice.

Jack Reacher was easy because the function of the villain was just to spread fear and horror.

May I propose a Herzog dictum? Those who read own the world, and those who watch television lose it.

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.

In the face of the obscene, explicit malice of the jungle, which lacks only dinosaurs as punctuation, I feel like a half-finished, poorly expressed sentence in a cheap novel.
Werner Herzog
Image
We are surrounded by worn-out, banal, useless and exhausted images, limping and dragging themselves behind the rest of our cultural evolution.
Werner Herzog
Image
Fact creates norms, and truth illumination.
Werner Herzog
Image
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

THE ACT OF KILLING invents a new form of cinematic surrealism.
Werner Herzog
Image
But the question that everyone wanted answered was whether I would have the nerve and the strength to start the whole process from scratch. I said yes otherwise I would be someone who had no dream left, and without dreams I would not want to live.
Werner Herzog
Image
We do not see the danger clearly enough that we develop images adequate to our state of civilization. When you watch TV, you know instantly that there's something wrong with the images. When you open a magazine and see the ads, you know there's something wrong with the images. And it's unhealthy and not good and outright dangerous, in my opinion.

The volcano itself wasn't that interesting, but the man who refused to be evacuated - the only one of 75,000 people - was what set the tone for the film [Encounters at the End of the World] that we made together [with Clive Oppenheimer] ten years later.

I couldn't roam wildly and speak secretly with villagers [in North Korea]. No way you could do that. And honestly, I didn't even try. I was realistic of what I could do and yet persuaded them into accepting numerous things that I shouldn't have filmed.

There is a fascination about crime, which is understandable, but hardly anyone talks about the families of victims of violent crime and the devastation that is beyond the victim alone.

I'm one of the few reading and thinking people who loves Las Vegas for the vulgarity and omnipresence of the dream. The collective dream. There's something enormous about it. Let me say one thing: Las Vegas and cinema have similar roots. The country fair. The magician at the country fair. The vulgarity of the country fair.

I prefer to be alive, so I'm cautious about taking risks.
