Orson Welles, one of the best of the best. One of the strongest. As strong as an animal. He somehow was pushed out of the business because he would spend the entire budget of the film before he had even done half the pre-production.

I do not believe in the Cinema verite. Sometimes a really good lie is better than any truth.
Werner Herzog
Image
One of the most original and poetic works of cinema made anywhere in the seventies.

You must live life in its very elementary forms. The Mexicans have a very nice word for it: pura vida. It doesn't mean just purity of life, but the raw, stark-naked quality of life. And that's what makes young people more into a filmmaker than academia.

I have nothing against 3D films but I do not need to see them.
Werner Herzog

Robert Rodriguez, makes a feature film in 35mm celluloid one and a half hours long, and nobody believed him, I think he wrote a book about it and gave all the details of how he spent the money, even making a 35mm celluloid feature film was possible, at least for Rodriguez.

People think we had a love-hate relationship. Well, I did not love him, nor did I hate him. We had mutual respect for each other, even as we both planned each other's murder.

Image
The power of a volcano when it erupts is so evident, so visible, so palpable.
Werner Herzog
Image
I'm quite convinced that cooking is the only alternative to film making. Maybe there's also another alternative, that's walking on foot.

I find it interesting that there are impostors out on the Internet pretending to be Werner Herzog.
Werner Herzog
Image
The trees are in misery, and the birds are in misery. I don’t think they sing. They just screech in pain. …Taking a close look at what’s around us, there is some sort of harmony: it’s the harmony of overwhelming and collective murder.

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.

You should bear in mind that almost all my documentaries are feature films in disguise.

Someone like Jean-Luc Godard is for me intellectual counterfeit money when compared to a good kung fu film.

A fairly young, intelligent-looking man with long hair asked me whether filming or being filmed could do harm, whether it could destroy a person. In my heart the answer was yes, but I said no.
