More quotes by Werner Herzog
If I had to climb into hell and wrestle the devil himself for one of my films, I would do it.
Werner Herzog
I'm quite convinced that cooking is the only alternative to film making. Maybe there's also another alternative, that's walking on foot.
Werner Herzog
You will learn more by walking from Canada to Guatemala than you will ever learn in film school.
Werner Herzog
One of the most original and poetic works of cinema made anywhere in the seventies.
Werner Herzog
Money doesn't make films. You just do it and take the initiative.
Werner Herzog
When you look at the paintings at Chauvet Cave, they're not primitive or like children's little scribbles, it bursts on the scene fully accomplished and when you look through the faces of cultural history, art history, it has never gotten any better.
Werner Herzog
I'm not a journalist I'm a poet. I had a discourse, an encounter with these people but I never had a list of questions.
Werner Herzog
My contacts with the film industry can be described in very simple terms: The industry does not really need me, and I do not really need the industry.
Werner Herzog
I am torn between the beauty of the natural world, which you see all around us, and the idea that some dumb tornado could blow a telephone pole onto my sweet Camaro.
Werner Herzog
Facts do not constitute truth.
Werner Herzog
Gaining trust is not difficult for me. I needed to gain the trust of the North Korean supervisors.
Werner Herzog
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
I know what I'm talking about and I've never been over budget, in 70 films.
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 It has been replaced by celebrity news.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.
Werner Herzog
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
What I do not like, the kind of high-resolution cameras, 4K, 6K, for shooting dialogue, for having faces and close-ups of actors, and you see every single pore in the skin.
Werner Herzog
We are surrounded by worn-out, banal, useless and exhausted images, limping and dragging themselves behind the rest of our cultural evolution.
Werner Herzog
Well, it had to be about the stories and the people who live under the volcano, what kind of new gods do they create? What sort of demons? And of course North Korea falls clearly into this category since the socialist revolution at the end of the Second World War. Somehow they adopted the myth of the power and dynamics of their volcano.
Werner Herzog
If you truly love film, I think the healthiest thing to do is not read books on the subject. I prefer the glossy film magazines with their big color photos and gossip columns, or the National Enquirer. Such vulgarity is healthy and safe.
Werner Herzog
I think Irish people started to move to the United States - many things that were of consequence. And it was a tiny and mild event compared to what had happened 74,000 years ago.
