More quotes by Werner Herzog
I think a state should not be in the capacity of killing anyone with the exception of warfare.
Werner Herzog
I have not seen a film as powerful, surreal, and frightening in at least a decade unprecedented in the history of cinema.
Werner Herzog
People think we had a love-hate relationship. Well, I did not love him, nor did I hate him. We had mutual respect for each other, even as we both planned each other's murder.
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 am somebody who creates images, with my perspectives, fascinations and my instincts as a narrator. You have to activate the audience's imagination. If you are just giving them scientific results, they would forget the film in five minutes flat.
Werner Herzog
The punishment itself is something I respectfully disagree with, but for thousands and thousands of years it was practiced everywhere.
Werner Herzog
But the question that everyone wanted answered was whether I would have the nerve and the strength to start the whole process from scratch. I said yes otherwise I would be someone who had no dream left, and without dreams I would not want to live.
Werner Herzog
There is never an excuse not to finish a film.
Werner Herzog
There's more substance in my prose and my poetry than in all my films together. Writing is a more direct way of expressing yourself because, in cinema, you always have finances, organization, actors, technical apparatus and all that stuff coming in between.
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
Every man should pull a boat over a mountain once in his life.
Werner Herzog
Similar thing until today, with digital cameras you look after something like that as robust as they can be.
Werner Herzog
Everyone who makes films has to be an athlete to a certain degree because cinema does not come from abstract academic thinking it comes from your knees and thighs.
Werner Herzog
We are just a blip. I found it very interesting when Clive [Oppenheimer] interviewed the Ethiopian scientists and asked them, Do we have another 100,000 years? In their calculation, mankind will be entering a very critical phrase a thousand years from now.
Werner Herzog
I never planned my career in steps. It's all coming at me like burglars in the night.
Werner Herzog
I think psychology and self-reflection is one of the major catastrophes of the twentieth century.
Werner Herzog
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.
Werner Herzog
I always felt completely confident - it's like in a feature film, knowing your principle character is extremely well-cast. I had that same confidence in Clive [Oppenheimer].
Werner Herzog
If the part is really good of course I would like to do it.
Werner Herzog
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.
Werner Herzog
