Werner Herzog
Image
I wouldn't like to travel at all. I've been too much around.
Werner Herzog
Image
I think it is a quest of literature throughout the ages to describe the human condition.
Werner Herzog
Image
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.
Werner Herzog
Image
It happens sometimes that the material itself carries things you have not fully planned. The footage has its own right, its own life, its own vibrancy and energy in it.
Werner Herzog
Image
I do not believe in the Cinema verite. Sometimes a really good lie is better than any truth.
Werner Herzog
Image
Read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read...if you don't read, you will never be a filmmaker.
Werner Herzog

Facts sometimes have a strange and bizarre power that makes their inherent truth seem unbelievable.

I'm not a citizen of America, I cannot vote. But it is fascinating because there's a new kind of protagonist out there that we didn't expect. By the way, I'm not in any panic at all.

You must live life in its very elementary forms. The Mexicans have a very nice word for it: pura vida. It doesn't mean just purity of life, but the raw, stark-naked quality of life. And that's what makes young people more into a filmmaker than academia.
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 It has been replaced by celebrity news.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.

I think I would be a good villain in a James Bond movie.
Werner Herzog
Image
At the same time, there's something magnificent about volcanoes they created the atmosphere that we need for breathing.
Werner Herzog
Image
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.

I know what I'm talking about and I've never been over budget, in 70 films.
Werner Herzog
Image
I do not recall to [Kim Jong-un], but it was complex. Dear young leader of the people and chairman of the joint military commission or something like that.
Werner Herzog
Image
We have to articulate ourselves. Otherwise we would be cows in the field.
Werner Herzog
Image
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.

Money doesn't make films. You just do it and take the initiative.
