When I say tourism is sin and traveling on foot is virtue, it's condensed into a dictum. It's much more complex than that, but let's face it, for me, my experience, the world reveals itself to those that travel on foot. You understand the world in a much deeper level. And it does good to anyone who makes film.

Someone like Jean-Luc Godard is for me intellectual counterfeit money when compared to a good kung fu film.
Werner Herzog
Image
I wouldn't like to travel at all. I've been too much around.
Werner Herzog
Image
If you go to Florence, it has all surface beauty, but like Venice, it's simply a museum of Renaissance times. Los Angeles is raw, uncouth and bizarre, but it's a place of substance. It has more new horizons than any other place.
Werner Herzog
Image
Facts do not convey truth. That's a mistake. Facts create norms, but truth creates illumination.
Werner Herzog
Image
I think the worst that can happen in filmmaking is if you're working with a storyboard. That kills all intuition, all fantasy, all creativity.

Image
[This kind of strange mythology about me.] I've pulled a huge steamboat over a mountain I've done a feature film with all the actors acting under hypnosis - things that are very unusual.
Werner Herzog
Image
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.

English is a really wonderful language and I urge you all to investigate it

The beauty of Netflix is on the 28th of October they push a button and the film will be in 190 countries at the same moment in 17 languages.

Image
We are just a blip. I found it very interesting when Clive [Oppenheimer] interviewed the Ethiopian scientists and asked them, Do we have another 100,000 years? In their calculation, mankind will be entering a very critical phrase a thousand years from now.

Image
I shouldn't make movies anymore. I should go to a lunatic asylum.
Werner Herzog
Image
There's happens to be a volcano in the vicinity and there's some talk about a volcano as well, so that's the title Salt and Fire
Werner Herzog
Image
In the face of the obscene, explicit malice of the jungle, which lacks only dinosaurs as punctuation, I feel like a half-finished, poorly expressed sentence in a cheap novel.
Werner Herzog
Image
I am too much into what I'm doing in my work.
Werner Herzog

North Korea is not an exception. Even there, where you think it would be completely sober, they have the myth of their revolution being connected to the volcano.

Read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read...if you don't read, you will never be a filmmaker.
Werner Herzog
Image
I think I'm a prudent filmmaker.
Werner Herzog
Image
Maybe I should stay a good soldier of cinema.
Werner Herzog
Image
I always had a feeling, for example, that there should be something from Verdi's Requiem in the film. You hear it when you see the lava flow in Iceland. That turned out to be a very easy choice.
