More quotes by Werner Herzog
Gaining trust is not difficult for me. I needed to gain the trust of the North Korean supervisors.
Werner Herzog
There's this kind of strange mythology about me in the media because I've done unusual things.
Werner Herzog
Some of the most important caves, like Lascaux in the Dordogne region in France, have had to be closed down. There had been too many people allowed in, and they left a mold on the walls that is spreading and which can't really be stopped.
Werner Herzog
I always loved celluloid cameras in the early days that were sturdy and reliable. Even under tropical conditions and downpour of rain, it would still work.
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 have a great map of the Tibesti Mountains in the southern Sahara or Northern Chad. It's a dream of mine to go there, but it's such a volatile area, you have to be prudent.
Werner Herzog
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.
Werner Herzog
I'm a very circumspect and prudent person, and I eliminate danger as far as it can be done.
Werner Herzog
If you want to do a film, steal a camera, steal raw stock, sneak into a lab and do it!
Werner Herzog
THE ACT OF KILLING invents a new form of cinematic surrealism.
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
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
Do you not then hear this horrible scream all around you that people usually call silence.
Werner Herzog
I think I'm a prudent filmmaker.
Werner Herzog
You will learn more by walking from Canada to Guatemala than you will ever learn in film school.
Werner Herzog
What have we done to our images? What have we done to our embarrassed landscapes? I have said this before and will repeat it again as long as I am able to talk: if we do not develop adequate images we will die out like dinosaurs.
Werner Herzog
[Internet] is amazing as much as human beings can be amazing, and it's debased and depraved and vile as human beings can be.
Werner Herzog
I am someone who takes everything very literally. I simply do not understand irony, a defect I have had ever since I was able to think independently.
Werner Herzog
With actors, normally I don't like to have any conversation about background and about motivations and all this.
Werner Herzog
I prefer the material woman.
Werner Herzog
