I don't care whether the person is guilty or not guilty. It's not my business to establish guilt or innocence. It's a court of law that does that and a jury does that, but not me.

More quotes by Werner Herzog
It doesn't matter whether you shoot on celluloid or on digital, you better make a good film.
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
I'm very, very curious about how people live under the volcano, how they handle the permanence of danger.
Werner Herzog
Sometimes bad luck hits you like in an ancient Greek tragedy, and it's not your own making. When you have a plane crash, it's not your fault.
Werner Herzog
I think I would be a good villain in a James Bond movie. They were fairly weak, the last half-dozen of villains in James Bond movies were not that convincing.
Werner Herzog
Do you not then hear this horrible scream all around you that people usually call silence.
Werner Herzog
There are certainly laws and elements that make a film more accessible to mainstream audiences. If you've got Tom Cruise as a strongman, I'm sure it would have larger audiences, but it wouldn't have the same substance.
Werner Herzog
I do not recall to [Kim Jong-un], but it was complex. Dear young leader of the people and chairman of the joint military commission or something like that.
Werner Herzog
I know what I'm talking about and I've never been over budget, in 70 films.
Werner Herzog
I went to volcanoes where I knew that there was a lot of mythology around them there was something like the creation of gods and monsters and demons.
Werner Herzog
Film is not analysis, it is the agitation of mind cinema comes from the country fair and the circus, not from art and academicism.
Werner Herzog
I am someone who takes everything very literally. I simply do not understand irony, a defect I have had ever since I was able to think independently.
Werner Herzog
I wouldn't like to travel at all. I've been too much around.
Werner Herzog
I make films because I have not learned anything else and I know I can do it to a certain degree. And it is my duty because this might be the inner chronicle of what we are. We have to articulate ourselves, otherwise we would be cows in the field.
Werner Herzog
Our presence on this planet does not seem to be sustainable. Our technical civilization makes up particularly vulnerable. There is talk all over the scientific community about climate change. Many of them [scientists] agree, the end of human life on earth is assured.
Werner Herzog
Everyone who makes films has to be an athlete to a certain degree because cinema does not come from abstract academic thinking it comes from your knees and thighs.
Werner Herzog
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.
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
I think a state should not be in the capacity of killing anyone with the exception of warfare.
Werner Herzog
