More quotes by Werner Herzog
If you don't read, you will never be a filmmaker.
Werner Herzog
If an actor knows how to milk a cow, I always know it will not be difficult to be in business with him.
Werner Herzog
James Joyce is a cul-de-sac. [Ulysses is] ... an example how literature branched out and went into, lost itself in nowhere, no man's land.
Werner Herzog
I think a state should not be in the capacity of killing anyone with the exception of warfare.
Werner Herzog
The elections have a different platform, the town hall is the platform for it. But the other question behind all this is should I run for president?
Werner Herzog
The paintings are not just on flat walls - you have these enormous niches, bulges and protrusions, as well as stalactites and stalagmites. The effect of the three-dimensionality is phenomenal. It's a real drama which the artists of the time understood, and they used it for the drama of their paintings.
Werner Herzog
If you do not understand how finances are functioning, you are in a very precarious situation, at least concerning long-term survival.
Werner Herzog
Public life is constantly aware of the volcano.
Werner Herzog
I had complete freedom. They [Netflix] knew roughly what I was doing.
Werner Herzog
Some of the most important caves, like Lascaux in the Dordogne region in France, have had to be closed down. There had been too many people allowed in, and they left a mold on the walls that is spreading and which can't really be stopped.
Werner Herzog
I wouldn't make a connection between the daily news and volcanoes.
Werner Herzog
Ten years ago in Antarctica shooting Encounters at the End of the World, I met a very fine volcanologist from Cambridge University [Clive Oppenheimer] and we kept talking about doing a film and all of a sudden it became serious when he hinted at the possibility to film in North Korea.
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
[This kind of strange mythology about me.] I've pulled a huge steamboat over a mountain I've done a feature film with all the actors acting under hypnosis - things that are very unusual.
Werner Herzog
What have we done to our images? What have we done to our embarrassed landscapes? I have said this before and will repeat it again as long as I am able to talk: if we do not develop adequate images we will die out like dinosaurs.
Werner Herzog
I have always postulated that we have to find a new way to deal with reality. It's not so much facts that interest me, but a deeper truth in them - an ecstasy of truth, an ecstatic truth that illuminates us. That's what I've been after.
Werner Herzog
Spirit of immersion and curiosity and awe and participation is something which Timothy Treadwell and I have in common.
Werner Herzog
Hold firm to your vision but don't be a tyrant on set.
Werner Herzog
Fact creates norms, and truth illumination.
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.
