More quotes by Werner Herzog
Maybe I should stay a good soldier of cinema.
Werner Herzog
Tourism is a mortal sin.
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
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
Well, it had to be about the stories and the people who live under the volcano, what kind of new gods do they create? What sort of demons? And of course North Korea falls clearly into this category since the socialist revolution at the end of the Second World War. Somehow they adopted the myth of the power and dynamics of their volcano.
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
Nature is monumentally indifferent.
Werner Herzog
The danger is to stupidly believe that depicting facts gives us much insight. If facts were the only thing that counted, the telephone directory would be the book of books.
Werner Herzog
I know for sure that there is only one step from insecticide to genocide.
Werner Herzog
We are not accountants, We are not accountants who do number after number after number of storyboard images, a robot could do it ultimately, but what I'm doing a robot cannot do.
Werner Herzog
In Germany, you would be hanged if you cracked a joke about Hitler and you would be killed by the state if you were insane in a project of euthanasia.
Werner Herzog
Never wallow in your troubles despair must be kept private and brief.
Werner Herzog
You can fight a rumour only with an even wilder rumour.
Werner Herzog
I prefer to be alive, so I'm cautious about taking risks.
Werner Herzog
I'm a very circumspect and prudent person, and I eliminate danger as far as it can be done.
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 always loved celluloid cameras in the early days that were sturdy and reliable. Even under tropical conditions and downpour of rain, it would still work.
Werner Herzog
Roger Ebert was a very valiant soldier of cinema who passed away, and we miss him. It's over with serious discourse about cinema in the print media and on television. It has been replaced by celebrity news. So we are speaking in his spirit always.
Werner Herzog
I don't dabble, I'm good at acting.
Werner Herzog
There's more substance in my prose and my poetry than in all my films together. Writing is a more direct way of expressing yourself because, in cinema, you always have finances, organization, actors, technical apparatus and all that stuff coming in between.
Werner Herzog
