More quotes by Werner Herzog
For a film I shot on the most difficult mountain on God's wide earth in Patagonia for a sequence where there was high probability some digital effects were needed, somebody made storyboards and I quickly ignored them, after half an hour I ignored them and I never used any digital effect.
Werner Herzog
Jack Reacher was easy because the function of the villain was just to spread fear and horror.
Werner Herzog
I've never left my culture. I've left my country, but I've not left my culture. In the same way, you shouldn't be worried why George Lucas is going to the outer galaxy to make a movie. He's still making a film within his culture he's making an American film. I go to Thailand or the Peruvian jungle, the Amazon, and I still make Bavarian films.
Werner Herzog
Without dreams we would be cows in a field, and I don't want to live like that. I live my life or I end my life with this project.
Werner Herzog
The collapse of the stellar universe will occur - like creation - in grandiose splendor.
Werner Herzog
I have a great map of the Tibesti Mountains in the southern Sahara or Northern Chad. It's a dream of mine to go there, but it's such a volatile area, you have to be prudent.
Werner Herzog
If you don’t have a deal in two days, you won’t have a deal in two years.
Werner Herzog
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.
Werner Herzog
I wouldn't make a connection between the daily news and volcanoes.
Werner Herzog
Most of the volcanoes are pretty far away. You have to go to, God knows, Alaska. Or you have to go to the Southern Indies or you have to go to a specific island.
Werner Herzog
I think I would be a good villain in a James Bond movie.
Werner Herzog
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.
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
I live my life outside of the glitz and glamour of the red carpet events, and so you’ll never see me there. I’m never at parties.
Werner Herzog
As for the anger of the volcano, we leave it up to the local populations who create their demons, their gods and their divine punishment.
Werner Herzog
Because you're delegated to a cook book recipe and you slavishly and pedantically rely on it while you're shooting and you're not relying on your creative instincts and you're not relying on something which brings life into movies and excitement into it.
Werner Herzog
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.
Werner Herzog
Film is not analysis, it is the agitation of mind cinema comes from the country fair and the circus, not from art and academicism.
Werner Herzog
When you look at my film you see footage that is unbelievably awesome and beautiful and dangerous looking. It's something that is very, very cinematic.
Werner Herzog
I don't dabble, I'm good at acting.
Werner Herzog
