Image
I'm very, very curious about how people live under the volcano, how they handle the permanence of danger.
Werner Herzog
Image
I don't dabble, I'm good at acting.
Werner Herzog
Image
I have not seen a film as powerful, surreal, and frightening in at least a decade unprecedented in the history of cinema.
Werner Herzog
Image
I know for sure that there is only one step from insecticide to genocide.
Werner Herzog
Image
You should bear in mind that almost all my documentaries are feature films in disguise.
Werner Herzog
Image
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
Image
I cannot work fast enough. I cannot cope fast enough, really. And just releasing a film is hard.
Werner Herzog
Image
In a way, I managed to get the deepest things, the best things out of people. That's why I'm a filmmaker. If you don't have it in you, you'd better do something else.
Werner Herzog
Image
There are certainly laws and elements that make a film more accessible to mainstream audiences. If you've got Tom Cruise as a strongman, I'm sure it would have larger audiences, but it wouldn't have the same substance.
Werner Herzog
Image
The universe couldn't care less about us. I say this very clearly in the film [ Into the Inferno]: our planet is indifferent to scurrying roaches, retarded reptiles and vapid humans alike.
Werner Herzog
Image
I don't see poetry as something that has to do with too much emotion anyway. It has to do with language.
Werner Herzog
Image
Maybe I should stay a good soldier of cinema.
Werner Herzog
Image
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.
Werner Herzog
Image
I never planned my career in steps. It's all coming at me like burglars in the night.
Werner Herzog
Image
What have we done to our images? What have we done to our embarrassed landscapes? I have said this before and will repeat it again as long as I am able to talk: if we do not develop adequate images we will die out like dinosaurs.
Werner Herzog
Image
We are not accountants, We are not accountants who do number after number after number of storyboard images, a robot could do it ultimately, but what I'm doing a robot cannot do.
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
I have nothing against 3D films but I do not need to see them.
Werner Herzog
Image
It was a subject [ volcanoes] that was dormant in me for a long time and it popped up 40 years ago when I made a [short] film on the Caribbean island of Guadeloupe about a volcano that was about to explode and a single farmer refused to leave [La Soufrière].
Werner Herzog

We are surrounded by worn-out, banal, useless and exhausted images, limping and dragging themselves behind the rest of our cultural evolution.
