Werner Herzog
It's very strange, for example, in North Korea where the volcano at the Chinese border is some sort of the mythical birthplace of the Korean people.
Werner Herzog
May I propose a Herzog dictum? Those who read own the world, and those who watch television lose it.
Werner Herzog
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.
Werner Herzog
I do other sorts of things. I act in other people's movies. I direct operas. I write books.
Werner Herzog
I am a product of my failures.
