More quotes by Werner Herzog
I am somebody who creates images, with my perspectives, fascinations and my instincts as a narrator. You have to activate the audience's imagination. If you are just giving them scientific results, they would forget the film in five minutes flat.
Werner Herzog
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.
Werner Herzog
Of course, as a German, I wouldn't like to tell the American people how to handle their criminal justice.
Werner Herzog
In the Chauvet Cave, there is a painting of a bison embracing the lower part of a naked female body. Why does Pablo Picasso, who had no knowledge of the Chauvet Cave, use exactly the same motif in his series of drawings of the Minotaur and the woman? Very, very strange.
Werner Herzog
When you look at the paintings at Chauvet Cave, they're not primitive or like children's little scribbles, it bursts on the scene fully accomplished and when you look through the faces of cultural history, art history, it has never gotten any better.
Werner Herzog
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
I don't see poetry as something that has to do with too much emotion anyway. It has to do with language.
Werner Herzog
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.
Werner Herzog
Facts do not convey truth. That's a mistake. Facts create norms, but truth creates illumination.
Werner Herzog
It's not because nature is angry, it's rather that we are stupid. We're not doing the right thing with our planet.
Werner Herzog
Martin Luther was asked, what would you do if tomorrow the world would come to an end, and he said, 'I would plant an apple tree today.' This is a real good answer. I would start shooting a movie.
Werner Herzog
Women have a very good sense for seeing instantly what constitutes a good man. Not physically. The physical strength is only a small side of it.
Werner Herzog
I'm not a journalist I'm a poet. I had a discourse, an encounter with these people but I never had a list of questions.
Werner Herzog
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.
Werner Herzog
You can fight a rumour only with an even wilder rumour.
Werner Herzog
I despise formal restaurants. I find all of that formality to be very base and vile. I would much rather eat potato chips on the sidewalk.
Werner Herzog
I discover no kinship, no understanding, no mercy. I see only the overwhelming indifference of nature.
Werner Herzog
There's more substance in my prose and my poetry than in all my films together. Writing is a more direct way of expressing yourself because, in cinema, you always have finances, organization, actors, technical apparatus and all that stuff coming in between.
Werner Herzog
I am torn between the beauty of the natural world, which you see all around us, and the idea that some dumb tornado could blow a telephone pole onto my sweet Camaro.
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.
