It happens sometimes that the material itself carries things you have not fully planned. The footage has its own right, its own life, its own vibrancy and energy in it.

More quotes by Werner Herzog
I am torn between the beauty of the natural world, which you see all around us, and the idea that some dumb tornado could blow a telephone pole onto my sweet Camaro.
Werner Herzog
Ten years ago in Antarctica shooting Encounters at the End of the World, I met a very fine volcanologist from Cambridge University [Clive Oppenheimer] and we kept talking about doing a film and all of a sudden it became serious when he hinted at the possibility to film in North Korea.
Werner Herzog
When I film, there are no emotions. That would be the last thing.
Werner Herzog
The world reveals itself to those who travel on foot.
Werner Herzog
I prefer the material woman.
Werner Herzog
Well, it had to be about the stories and the people who live under the volcano, what kind of new gods do they create? What sort of demons?

Werner Herzog
Money doesn't make films. You just do it and take the initiative.
Werner Herzog
We are surrounded by worn-out, banal, useless and exhausted images, limping and dragging themselves behind the rest of our cultural evolution.
Werner Herzog
I would travel down to Hell and wrestle a film away from the devil if it was necessary.
Werner Herzog
I think I would be a good villain in a James Bond movie.
Werner Herzog
This climate surrounding me has reached Clive Oppenheimer. In practical terms he sees that I'm not interested in any sort of daredevil stunts, I'm just interested in the work. And he's convinced that I'm clinically sane.
Werner Herzog
I despise formal restaurants. I find all of that formality to be very base and vile. I would much rather eat potato chips on the sidewalk.
Werner Herzog
Facts do not constitute truth.
Werner Herzog
My contacts with the film industry can be described in very simple terms: The industry does not really need me, and I do not really need the industry.
Werner Herzog
I prefer to be alive, so I'm cautious about taking risks.
Werner Herzog
I am too much into what I'm doing in my work.
Werner Herzog
Civilization is like a thin layer of ice upon a deep ocean of chaos and darkness.
Werner Herzog
Fact creates norms, and truth illumination.
Werner Herzog
After Jack Reacher the parts I didn't like, most of it was silly.
Werner Herzog
Never wallow in your troubles despair must be kept private and brief.
Werner Herzog
