More quotes by Werner Herzog
Netflix trusted me in a way that was very, very pleasant.
Werner Herzog
There are specific times where film noir is a natural concomitant of the mood. When there's insecurity, collapse of financial systems - that's where film noir always hits fertile ground.
Werner Herzog
If you want to propose marriage to your girlfriend and you live in England and she is in Sicily, do the decent thing and walk down there. Travelling by car or aeroplane wouldn't be right at such a moment.
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 looked, for example, to certain types of literature to which I would like to refer, like The Peregrine by J. A. Baker, and I mention a book, read this, read it, read it if you are serious of being in any type of art or into filmmaking, or films that I should quote as examples.
Werner Herzog
In a way, I managed to get the deepest things, the best things out of people. That's why I'm a filmmaker. If you don't have it in you, you'd better do something else.
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
If you do not have an absolutely clear vision of something, where you can follow the light to the end of the tunnel, then it doesn't matter whether you're bold or cowardly, or whether you're stupid or intelligent. Doesn't get you anywhere.
Werner Herzog
You are in a place that has not been seen for tens of thousands of years, because it was so sealed off. There is such silence that when you hold your breath you can hear your own heartbeat. Everything is so fresh that you have the sensation that the painters have merely retreated deeper into the dark and that they are looking at you.
Werner Herzog
I cannot work fast enough. I cannot cope fast enough, really. And just releasing a film is hard.
Werner Herzog
It doesn't matter whether you shoot on celluloid or on digital, you better make a good film.
Werner Herzog
In my films, I hope there are a few moments where you feel almost illuminated, like in a state of ecstasy, stepping out of yourself, beyond yourself and perceiving something which is only, in the case of cinema, possible in collective dreams.
Werner Herzog
It seems odd, but people who see my films normally take them in in a deeper way than you would actually watch a film, let's say The Terminator or whatever.
Werner Herzog
I shouldn't make movies anymore. I should go to a lunatic asylum.
Werner Herzog
I think I would be a good villain in a James Bond movie. They were fairly weak, the last half-dozen of villains in James Bond movies were not that convincing.
Werner Herzog
The beauty of Netflix is on the 28th of October they push a button and the film will be in 190 countries at the same moment in 17 languages.
Werner Herzog
Technology has a great advantage in that we are capable of creating dinosaurs and show them on the screen even though they are extinct 65 million years. All of a sudden, we have a fantastic tool that is as good as dreams are.
Werner Herzog
Women have a very good sense for seeing instantly what constitutes a good man. Not physically. The physical strength is only a small side of it.
Werner Herzog
One of the most original and poetic works of cinema made anywhere in the seventies.
Werner Herzog
I don't dabble, I'm good at acting.
Werner Herzog
