Image
Tourism is sin, and travel on foot virtue.
Werner Herzog
Image
What I do not like, the kind of high-resolution cameras, 4K, 6K, for shooting dialogue, for having faces and close-ups of actors, and you see every single pore in the skin.
Werner Herzog
Image
I make films because I have not learned anything else and I know I can do it to a certain degree. And it is my duty because this might be the inner chronicle of what we are. We have to articulate ourselves, otherwise we would be cows in the field.
Werner Herzog
Image
[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
Image
May I propose a Herzog dictum? Those who read own the world, and those who watch television lose it.
Werner Herzog
Image
You can fight a rumour only with an even wilder rumour.
Werner Herzog
Image
You are in a place that has not been seen for tens of thousands of years, because it was so sealed off. There is such silence that when you hold your breath you can hear your own heartbeat. Everything is so fresh that you have the sensation that the painters have merely retreated deeper into the dark and that they are looking at you.
Werner Herzog
Image
I wouldn't like to travel at all. I've been too much around.
Werner Herzog
Image
Film is not the art of scholars, but of illiterates.
Werner Herzog
Image
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
Image
I know for sure that there is only one step from insecticide to genocide.
Werner Herzog
Image
Gaining trust is not difficult for me. I needed to gain the trust of the North Korean supervisors.
Werner Herzog
Image
North Korea has a very striking mythology there. It is influencing the whole nation.
Werner Herzog
Image
I wouldn't make a connection between the daily news and volcanoes.
Werner Herzog
Image
There are certainly laws and elements that make a film more accessible to mainstream audiences. If you've got Tom Cruise as a strongman, I'm sure it would have larger audiences, but it wouldn't have the same substance.
Werner Herzog
Image
There are specific times where film noir is a natural concomitant of the mood. When there's insecurity, collapse of financial systems - that's where film noir always hits fertile ground.
Werner Herzog
Image
There are deeper strata of truth in cinema, and there is such a thing as poetic, ecstatic truth. It is mysterious and elusive, and can be reached only through fabrication and imagination and stylization.
Werner Herzog
Image
I don't see poetry as something that has to do with too much emotion anyway. It has to do with language.
Werner Herzog
Image
Of course I do things in my voice in my commentary, which I wrote.
Werner Herzog
Image
In a way, I managed to get the deepest things, the best things out of people. That's why I'm a filmmaker. If you don't have it in you, you'd better do something else.
