I function better in the jungle in Amazonia or Antarctica or Alaska or the Sahara desert. An artificial environment like a studio has never attracted me. I could work in a studio, but I would never really feel at home.

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.

If you want to do a film, steal a camera, steal raw stock, sneak into a lab and do it!
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
Image
I shouldn't make movies anymore. I should go to a lunatic asylum.
Werner Herzog

You better make yourself acquainted to what the requirements are, what the value of money is all about and how you create a long-term survival, and in many cases it has to do with how you handle finances.

Of course the entire planet Earth consists of magma under us, and only the very inner-core is different.
Werner Herzog

I like and I love everything that has to do with cinema, writing, directing, editing, creating music, and even acting.
Werner Herzog
Image
When the camera is looking back at our planet Earth, it's the tiniest of specks somewhere out there in the universe. So we do have a new sense of proportion. Of course the volcanoes and the magma under us just remind us of that.

I don't see poetry as something that has to do with too much emotion anyway. It has to do with language.
