I must say, the people who started this whole Masterclass series have been very helpful and very intelligent to point out certain things and also give me some guidance, isn't there something missing, shouldn't we address this or that? so it's not completely alone out of the blue. It's very well thought through.

Strangely enough, there's this mythology sprouting out that I cannot stop.
Werner Herzog
Image
The opinion of the public is sacred. The director is a cook who merely offers different dishes to them and has no right to insist they react in a particular way. A film is just a projection of light, completed only when it crosses the gaze of the audience[...]

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.
Werner Herzog
Image
I'm very, very curious about how people live under the volcano, how they handle the permanence of danger.
Werner Herzog
Image
However, there are a couple of volcanoes very close nearby, like Vesuvius in Italy right next to Naples.

Facts sometimes have a strange and bizarre power that makes their inherent truth seem unbelievable.
Werner Herzog
Image
The power of a volcano when it erupts is so evident, so visible, so palpable.

I think I would be a good villain in a James Bond movie.

James Joyce is a cul-de-sac. [Ulysses is] ... an example how literature branched out and went into, lost itself in nowhere, no man's land.

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.
