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
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'm not into digital marketing, downloading, or streaming - I've always been a man of the theaters.
Werner Herzog
Image
I do have a clear vision, and I do see things that are existing in my quote-unquote spirit, but that doesn't necessary make me a very spiritual person.

Of course, you do not do any research: you have to go there and do your film. It's not that I would travel there before without a camera and spend half a year on one of those volcanoes and then come back with a camera. You have to have some sort of a clear mindset.

It's curiosity, and always a sense of poetry. You see it in particular in the chapter Iceland where I'm reciting ancient Icelandic poetry. It has this very beautiful gravitas in conjunction with the volcanoes.

Orson Welles, one of the best of the best. One of the strongest. As strong as an animal. He somehow was pushed out of the business because he would spend the entire budget of the film before he had even done half the pre-production.
Werner Herzog
Image
I'm a very circumspect and prudent person, and I eliminate danger as far as it can be done.

Image
The collapse of the stellar universe will occur - like creation - in grandiose splendor.
Werner Herzog

Civilization is like a thin layer of ice upon a deep ocean of chaos and darkness.
Werner Herzog
Image
The elections have a different platform, the town hall is the platform for it. But the other question behind all this is should I run for president?
Werner Herzog
Image
I cannot work fast enough. I cannot cope fast enough, really. And just releasing a film is hard.
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.

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.

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.

Women have a very good sense for seeing instantly what constitutes a good man. Not physically. The physical strength is only a small side of it.
