More quotes by Werner Herzog
I think I'm a prudent filmmaker.
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
If your project has real substance, ultimately the money will follow you like a common cur in the street with its tail between its legs.
Werner Herzog
For such an advanced civilization as ours to be without images that are adequate to it is as serious a defect as being without memory.
Werner Herzog
I do not want to have a cell phone. I do not want it for cultural reasons. I do not want to be available all the time. I want to have time to think and to touch somebody, and have a meal across my kitchen table without a cell phone, being constantly on tweets.
Werner Herzog
In private I'm not. You will have to ask my wife. She maintains I'm a fluffy husband.
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 It has been replaced by celebrity news.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 discover no kinship, no understanding, no mercy. I see only the overwhelming indifference of nature.
Werner Herzog
When you look at my film you see footage that is unbelievably awesome and beautiful and dangerous looking. It's something that is very, very cinematic.
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
North Korea is not an exception. Even there, where you think it would be completely sober, they have the myth of their revolution being connected to the volcano.
Werner Herzog
I'm talking a lot on financing in the Masterclass and I know what it means to because I had to finance my first films, all of them, and I earned my money as a welder in a steel factory doing night shifts while I was still in high school during the day.
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
Well they are very frightening for me because their stupidity is so flat. You look into the eyes of a chicken and you lose yourself in a completely flat, frightening stupidity. They are like a great metaphor for me... I kind of love chicken, but they frighten me more than any other animal.
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
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
With actors, normally I don't like to have any conversation about background and about motivations and all this.
Werner Herzog
Netflix trusted me in a way that was very, very pleasant.
Werner Herzog
The trees are in misery, and the birds are in misery. I don’t think they sing. They just screech in pain. …Taking a close look at what’s around us, there is some sort of harmony: it’s the harmony of overwhelming and collective murder.
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].
