In private I'm not. You will have to ask my wife. She maintains I'm a fluffy husband.

[This kind of strange mythology about me.] I've pulled a huge steamboat over a mountain I've done a feature film with all the actors acting under hypnosis - things that are very unusual.
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
My contacts with the film industry can be described in very simple terms: The industry does not really need me, and I do not really need the industry.
Werner Herzog
Image
The danger is to stupidly believe that depicting facts gives us much insight. If facts were the only thing that counted, the telephone directory would be the book of books.
Werner Herzog
Image
I have made 70 or so films. In all my films not a single actor, a single extra, was hurt. Not one. So statistics are on my side when I say I'm clinically sane.
Werner Herzog
Image
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.
Werner Herzog
Image
Along with this rapid growth of forms of communication at our disposal - be it fax, phone, email, internet or whatever - human solitude will increase in direct proportion.
Werner Herzog

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.
Werner Herzog
Image
I like and I love everything that has to do with cinema, writing, directing, editing, creating music, and even acting.
Werner Herzog
Image
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
Image
I think Irish people started to move to the United States - many things that were of consequence. And it was a tiny and mild event compared to what had happened 74,000 years ago.
Werner Herzog
Image
I looked, for example, to certain types of literature to which I would like to refer, like The Peregrine by J. A. Baker, and I mention a book, read this, read it, read it if you are serious of being in any type of art or into filmmaking, or films that I should quote as examples.
Werner Herzog
Image
I do other sorts of things. I act in other people's movies. I direct operas. I write books.
Werner Herzog
Image
I am a product of my failures.
Werner Herzog
Image
If an actor knows how to milk a cow, I always know it will not be difficult to be in business with him.
Werner Herzog
Image
All of a sudden it's twelve-year-olds who are contacting me, fifteen-year-olds, and they have very, very fascinating questions. However, they speak in a language of their age group which I have to learn first.
Werner Herzog
Image
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.

Image
I find it interesting that there are impostors out on the Internet pretending to be Werner Herzog.
Werner Herzog
Image
It's curiosity, and always a sense of poetry. You see it in particular in the chapter Iceland where I'm reciting ancient Icelandic poetry. It has this very beautiful gravitas in conjunction with the volcanoes.

Strangely enough, there's this mythology sprouting out that I cannot stop.
