I think I would be a good villain in a James Bond movie. They were fairly weak, the last half-dozen of villains in James Bond movies were not that convincing.

I couldn't roam wildly and speak secretly with villagers [in North Korea]. No way you could do that. And honestly, I didn't even try. I was realistic of what I could do and yet persuaded them into accepting numerous things that I shouldn't have filmed.

We do not see the danger clearly enough that we develop images adequate to our state of civilization. When you watch TV, you know instantly that there's something wrong with the images. When you open a magazine and see the ads, you know there's something wrong with the images. And it's unhealthy and not good and outright dangerous, in my opinion.

If you don't read, you will never be a filmmaker.

The power of a volcano when it erupts is so evident, so visible, so palpable.

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
The opinion of the public is sacred. The director is a cook who merely offers different dishes to them and has no right to insist they react in a particular way. A film is just a projection of light, completed only when it crosses the gaze of the audience[...]

I know what I'm talking about and I've never been over budget, in 70 films.

Of course subjects are changing, and since I started so early in filmmaking, I did my first film at age 19, of course you grow up with your films and you are not trotting the same path all the time.

Do you not then hear this horrible scream all around you that people usually call silence.
Werner Herzog
Image
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
Image
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.

I don't dabble, I'm good at acting.
Werner Herzog
Image
I discover no kinship, no understanding, no mercy. I see only the overwhelming indifference of nature.

The volcano itself wasn't that interesting, but the man who refused to be evacuated - the only one of 75,000 people - was what set the tone for the film [Encounters at the End of the World] that we made together [with Clive Oppenheimer] ten years later.

I believe the common denominator of the Universe is not harmony, but chaos, hostility and murder.

For me a true landscape is not just a representation of a desert or a forest. It shows an inner state of mind, literally inner landscapes, and it is the human soul that is visible through the landscapes presented in my films.

I think there should be holy war against yoga classes.

You should bear in mind that almost all my documentaries are feature films in disguise.

I have worked for YouTube like texting and driving because I was curious to test what's out there and how does it function, can I release something like about texting and driving to very young audiences, at the age where they do their drivers test? And the response was phenomenal, millions of people saw it.
