The internet doesn't have any qualities, technical qualities. It's just fast, reaching out everywhere and so, it can process that and that volume of data flows and so, but it doesn't have any qualities like good or bad or ethical or non-ethical. It's humans, it's us, not the internet.

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

Of course I do things in my voice in my commentary, which I wrote.
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.

You will learn more by walking from Canada to Guatemala than you will ever learn in film school.
Werner Herzog

I always felt completely confident - it's like in a feature film, knowing your principle character is extremely well-cast. I had that same confidence in Clive [Oppenheimer].

I know for sure that there is only one step from insecticide to genocide.

[Internet] is amazing as much as human beings can be amazing, and it's debased and depraved and vile as human beings can be.
