More quotes by Werner Herzog
I'm not into the culture of complaint. I roll up my sleeves and somehow I get it together.
Werner Herzog
For such an advanced civilization as ours to be without images that are adequate to it is as serious a defect as being without memory.
Werner Herzog
We are not accountants, We are not accountants who do number after number after number of storyboard images, a robot could do it ultimately, but what I'm doing a robot cannot do.
Werner Herzog
ِِِِِِِِِِArt house theaters are vanishing. They have almost disappeared completely, and that means there's a shift in what audiences want to see. And they have to be aware of that and be realistic. It's as simple as that.
Werner Herzog
You can't have a helicopter fly over boiling lava. It would've exploded from the heat, and is just way too dangerous. The pilot of a helicopter would've flatly refused anyway.
Werner Herzog
You should look straight at a film that's the only way to see one. Film is not the art of scholars but of illiterates.
Werner Herzog
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.
Werner Herzog
There's this kind of strange mythology about me in the media because I've done unusual things.
Werner Herzog
Tourism is sin, and travel on foot virtue.
Werner Herzog
Roger Ebert was the last mammoth alive who was holding the flag for real movies and moviemakers.
Werner Herzog
If you truly love film, I think the healthiest thing to do is not read books on the subject. I prefer the glossy film magazines with their big color photos and gossip columns, or the National Enquirer. Such vulgarity is healthy and safe.
Werner Herzog
I have always postulated that we have to find a new way to deal with reality. It's not so much facts that interest me, but a deeper truth in them - an ecstasy of truth, an ecstatic truth that illuminates us. That's what I've been after.
Werner Herzog
I know whenever it comes to be really dysfunctional and vile and base and hostile on screen, I'm good at that.
Werner Herzog
What have we done to our images? What have we done to our embarrassed landscapes? I have said this before and will repeat it again as long as I am able to talk: if we do not develop adequate images we will die out like dinosaurs.
Werner Herzog
If your project has real substance, ultimately the money will follow you like a common cur in the street with its tail between its legs.
Werner Herzog
I function better in the jungle in Amazonia or Antarctica or Alaska or the Sahara desert. An artificial environment like a studio has never attracted me. I could work in a studio, but I would never really feel at home.
Werner Herzog
We do not see the danger clearly enough that we develop images adequate to our state of civilization. When you watch TV, you know instantly that there's something wrong with the images. When you open a magazine and see the ads, you know there's something wrong with the images. And it's unhealthy and not good and outright dangerous, in my opinion.
Werner Herzog
I shouldn't make movies anymore. I should go to a lunatic asylum.
Werner Herzog
The world reveals itself to those who travel on foot.
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
