Quote

Once in a while I come across a director who hasgrown up thousands of miles from me, and the work touches me.Through these issues/50/images I am connected and something is illuminated.And I know then that I am not alone.

I cannot work fast enough. I cannot cope fast enough, really. And just releasing a film is hard.
Werner Herzog
Image
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
Image
We live in a society that has no adequate images anymore, and if we do not find adequate images and an adequate language for our civilization with which to express them, we will die out like the dinosaurs.
Werner Herzog
Image
The punishment itself is something I respectfully disagree with, but for thousands and thousands of years it was practiced everywhere.
Werner Herzog

Werner Herzog
Image
What would an ocean be without a monster lurking in the dark? It would be like sleep without dreams.
Werner Herzog
Image
Never wallow in your troubles despair must be kept private and brief.
Werner Herzog
Image
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

Facts do not constitute truth.
Werner Herzog
Image
I discover no kinship, no understanding, no mercy. I see only the overwhelming indifference of nature.
Werner Herzog
Image
After Jack Reacher the parts I didn't like, most of it was silly.
Werner Herzog
Image
My crew [on Fitzcarraldo filming] actually said, We have filmed it from outside on the rocks of the shore. We should be on board [the ship], and I said it's dangerous, I only do it if you cinematographer Thomas Mauch and you actor [Klaus] Kinski decide on your own.

If you want to do a film, steal a camera, steal raw stock, sneak into a lab and do it!
Werner Herzog
Image
When the camera is looking back at our planet Earth, it's the tiniest of specks somewhere out there in the universe. So we do have a new sense of proportion. Of course the volcanoes and the magma under us just remind us of that.
Werner Herzog
Image
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.
Werner Herzog
Image
We ought to be grateful that the Universe out there knows no smile.
