More quotes by Werner Herzog
I like and I love everything that has to do with cinema, writing, directing, editing, creating music, and even acting.
Werner Herzog
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.
Werner Herzog
You should bear in mind that almost all my documentaries are feature films in disguise.
Werner Herzog
Because you're delegated to a cook book recipe and you slavishly and pedantically rely on it while you're shooting and you're not relying on your creative instincts and you're not relying on something which brings life into movies and excitement into it.
Werner Herzog
Gaining trust is not difficult for me. I needed to gain the trust of the North Korean supervisors.
Werner Herzog
I think a state should not be in the capacity of killing anyone with the exception of warfare.
Werner Herzog
When you look at the paintings at Chauvet Cave, they're not primitive or like children's little scribbles, it bursts on the scene fully accomplished and when you look through the faces of cultural history, art history, it has never gotten any better.
Werner Herzog
Robert Rodriguez, makes a feature film in 35mm celluloid one and a half hours long, and nobody believed him, I think he wrote a book about it and gave all the details of how he spent the money, even making a 35mm celluloid feature film was possible, at least for Rodriguez.
Werner Herzog
[Internet] is amazing as much as human beings can be amazing, and it's debased and depraved and vile as human beings can be.
Werner Herzog
Very often, footage that you have shot develops its own dynamic, it's own life, that is totally unexpected, and moves away from you're original intentions. And you have to acknowledge, yes, there is a child growing and developing and moving in a direction that isn't expected-accept it as it is and let it develop its own life.
Werner Herzog
I wouldn't like to travel at all. I've been too much around.
Werner Herzog
It doesn't matter whether you shoot on celluloid or on digital, you better make a good film.
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.
Werner Herzog
I think there should be holy war against yoga classes.
Werner Herzog
For example, the face of Nicole Kidman in Queen of the Desert and she is the most beautiful goddess on screen that you can find anywhere around in the world. There's no imperfections, and yet I don't need to know every single pore in her face.
Werner Herzog
The internet doesn't have any qualities, technical qualities. It's just fast, reaching out everywhere and so, it can process that and that volume of data flows and so, but it doesn't have any qualities like good or bad or ethical or non-ethical. It's humans, it's us, not the internet.
Werner Herzog
Without dreams we would be cows in a field, and I don't want to live like that. I live my life or I end my life with this project.
Werner Herzog
Get used to the bear behind you.
Werner Herzog
In private I'm not. You will have to ask my wife. She maintains I'm a fluffy husband.
Werner Herzog
I don't dabble, I'm good at acting.
Werner Herzog
