If you go to Florence, it has all surface beauty, but like Venice, it's simply a museum of Renaissance times. Los Angeles is raw, uncouth and bizarre, but it's a place of substance. It has more new horizons than any other place.

More quotes by Werner Herzog
Netflix knew I was going to North Korea and Ethiopia and Iceland. They saw the film and liked it and that was that.
Werner Herzog
Someone like Jean-Luc Godard is for me intellectual counterfeit money when compared to a good kung fu film.
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
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
Orson Welles, one of the best of the best. One of the strongest. As strong as an animal. He somehow was pushed out of the business because he would spend the entire budget of the film before he had even done half the pre-production.
Werner Herzog
Roger Ebert was the last mammoth alive who was holding the flag for real movies and moviemakers.
Werner Herzog
A fairly young, intelligent-looking man with long hair asked me whether filming or being filmed could do harm, whether it could destroy a person. In my heart the answer was yes, but I said no.
Werner Herzog
When you look at any of my films you will immediately be able to tell this is a [Werner] Herzog film. Even if you didn't have any credits, in two minutes flat you would know.
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
I am a product of my failures.
Werner Herzog
I discover no kinship, no understanding, no mercy. I see only the overwhelming indifference of nature.
Werner Herzog
Money doesn't make films. You just do it and take the initiative.
Werner Herzog
I prefer the material woman.
Werner Herzog
Look into the eyes of a chicken and you will see real stupidity. It is a kind of bottomless stupidity, a fiendish stupidity. They are the most horrifying, cannibalistic and nightmarish creatures in the world.
Werner Herzog
However, there are a couple of volcanoes very close nearby, like Vesuvius in Italy right next to Naples.
Werner Herzog
There's a completely new culture out there. I'm not a participant of texting and driving - or texting at all - but I see there's something going on in civilization which is coming with great vehemence at us.
Werner Herzog
I never planned my career in steps. It's all coming at me like burglars in the night.
Werner Herzog
I know what I'm talking about and I've never been over budget, in 70 films.
Werner Herzog
Netflix trusted me in a way that was very, very pleasant.
Werner Herzog
My non-fiction films are pretty much fiction, or at least close... It's all movies for me. I never have searched for a subject. They always just come along. They never come by way of decision-making. They just haunt me. I can't get rid of them. I did not invite them.
