More quotes by Werner Herzog
Get used to the bear behind you.
Werner Herzog
I am so used to plunging into the unknown that any other surroundings and form of existence strike me as exotic and unsuitable for human beings.
Werner Herzog
This is the birth of the modern human soul. The artists are like us, not like the Neanderthals, who had no culture - and who incidentally were still roaming the landscape at the time the paintings were made. It is striking that there is a distant cultural echo that seems to reach all the way down to us, over dozens of millennia.
Werner Herzog
In the Chauvet Cave, there is a painting of a bison embracing the lower part of a naked female body. Why does Pablo Picasso, who had no knowledge of the Chauvet Cave, use exactly the same motif in his series of drawings of the Minotaur and the woman? Very, very strange.
Werner Herzog
It's not far-fetched that almost everywhere in the world where you have volcanoes you have mythologies or new gods being created.
Werner Herzog
You better make yourself acquainted to what the requirements are, what the value of money is all about and how you create a long-term survival, and in many cases it has to do with how you handle finances.
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
I have never been one of those who cares about happiness. Happiness is a strange notion. I am just not made for it. It has never been a goal of mine I do not think in those terms.
Werner Herzog
If you want to do a film, steal a camera, steal raw stock, sneak into a lab and do it!
Werner Herzog
I have learned a lot through defeats, and, until today, it's - I'm still haunted by defeats, and they do happen. Sometimes, a film of mine is rejected. And how do you deal with it? And you have to learn how to deal with it and survive anyway.
Werner Herzog
Do you not then hear this horrible scream all around you that people usually call silence.
Werner Herzog
I have nothing against 3D films but I do not need to see them.
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 It has been replaced by celebrity news.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
I have made 70 or so films. In all my films not a single actor, a single extra, was hurt. Not one. So statistics are on my side when I say I'm clinically sane.
Werner Herzog
Of course the entire planet Earth consists of magma under us, and only the very inner-core is different.
Werner Herzog
Fact creates norms, and truth illumination.
Werner Herzog
I wouldn't like to travel at all. I've been too much around.
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
Of course, as a German, I wouldn't like to tell the American people how to handle their criminal justice.
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
