It's all movies for me. And besides, when you say documentaries, in my case, in most of these cases, means feature film in disguise.

More quotes by Werner Herzog
I don't see poetry as something that has to do with too much emotion anyway. It has to do with language.
Werner Herzog
at the press conference for the film he impressed everyone with his complete sincerity and innocence. he said he had come to see the sea for the first time and marveled at how clean it was. someone told him that, in fact, it wasn't. 'when the world is emptied of human beings' he said, 'it will become so again
Werner Herzog
When I film, there are no emotions. That would be the last thing.
Werner Herzog
Roger Ebert was the last mammoth alive who was holding the flag for real movies and moviemakers.
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
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
Money doesn't make films. You just do it and take the initiative.
Werner Herzog
The danger is to stupidly believe that depicting facts gives us much insight. If facts were the only thing that counted, the telephone directory would be the book of books.
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.
Werner Herzog
THE ACT OF KILLING invents a new form of cinematic surrealism.
Werner Herzog
If you do not understand how finances are functioning, you are in a very precarious situation, at least concerning long-term survival.
Werner Herzog
You have to be very prudent with what you are doing and what sort of tools you are utilizing. Drones have become a wonderful new tool in filmmaking.
Werner Herzog
I wouldn't make a connection between the daily news and volcanoes.
Werner Herzog
What would an ocean be without a monster lurking in the dark? It would be like sleep without dreams.
Werner Herzog
Of course, you do not do any research: you have to go there and do your film. It's not that I would travel there before without a camera and spend half a year on one of those volcanoes and then come back with a camera. You have to have some sort of a clear mindset.
Werner Herzog
I think it is a quest of literature throughout the ages to describe the human condition.
Werner Herzog
If you do not have an absolutely clear vision of something, where you can follow the light to the end of the tunnel, then it doesn't matter whether you're bold or cowardly, or whether you're stupid or intelligent. Doesn't get you anywhere.
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 had complete freedom. They [Netflix] knew roughly what I was doing.
Werner Herzog
I am not an artist and never have been. Rather I am like a craftsman and feel very close to the mediaeval artisans who produced their work anonymously and who, along with their apprentices, had a true feeling for the physical materials they were working with.
Werner Herzog
