It's all movies for me. And besides, when you say documentaries, in my case, in most of these cases, means feature film in disguise.
Werner Herzog

The internet doesn't have any qualities, technical qualities. It's just fast, reaching out everywhere and so, it can process that and that volume of data flows and so, but it doesn't have any qualities like good or bad or ethical or non-ethical. It's humans, it's us, not the internet.

Of course the entire planet Earth consists of magma under us, and only the very inner-core is different.
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.

I don't dabble, I'm good at acting.
Werner Herzog

Never wallow in your troubles despair must be kept private and brief.
Werner Herzog
Image
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.
Werner Herzog
Image
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

THE ACT OF KILLING invents a new form of cinematic surrealism.
Werner Herzog
Image
Look into the eyes of a chicken and you will see real stupidity. It is a kind of bottomless stupidity, a fiendish stupidity. They are the most horrifying, cannibalistic and nightmarish creatures in the world.
Werner Herzog
Image
Of course subjects are changing, and since I started so early in filmmaking, I did my first film at age 19, of course you grow up with your films and you are not trotting the same path all the time.
Werner Herzog
Image
With actors, normally I don't like to have any conversation about background and about motivations and all this.
Werner Herzog
Image
I think a state should not be in the capacity of killing anyone with the exception of warfare.
Werner Herzog

I think psychology and self-reflection is one of the major catastrophes of the twentieth century.
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.
