What would an ocean be without a monster lurking in the dark? It would be like sleep without dreams.

When I say tourism is sin and traveling on foot is virtue, it's condensed into a dictum. It's much more complex than that, but let's face it, for me, my experience, the world reveals itself to those that travel on foot. You understand the world in a much deeper level. And it does good to anyone who makes film.
Werner Herzog

In my films, I hope there are a few moments where you feel almost illuminated, like in a state of ecstasy, stepping out of yourself, beyond yourself and perceiving something which is only, in the case of cinema, possible in collective dreams.

Public life is constantly aware of the volcano.

I like to direct landscapes just as I like to direct actors and animals.

One of the most original and poetic works of cinema made anywhere in the seventies.
Werner Herzog
Image
You are in a place that has not been seen for tens of thousands of years, because it was so sealed off. There is such silence that when you hold your breath you can hear your own heartbeat. Everything is so fresh that you have the sensation that the painters have merely retreated deeper into the dark and that they are looking at you.

Only the poets can hold the country together, and I wanted to hold Germany together.
Werner Herzog
Image
The trees are in misery, and the birds are in misery. I don’t think they sing. They just screech in pain. …Taking a close look at what’s around us, there is some sort of harmony: it’s the harmony of overwhelming and collective murder.

Fact creates norms, and truth illumination.

Tourism is sin, and travel on foot virtue.

I went to volcanoes where I knew that there was a lot of mythology around them there was something like the creation of gods and monsters and demons.

Image
I'm not a one-trick horse.
Werner Herzog
Image
I have been in lots of very intense life situations. I have been shot at, and I have been hungry, and I have been in solitude, and I have also briefly been behind bars. So in a way, I know the heart of men.

If you want to propose marriage to your girlfriend and you live in England and she is in Sicily, do the decent thing and walk down there. Travelling by car or aeroplane wouldn't be right at such a moment.
Werner Herzog
Image
Most of the volcanoes are pretty far away. You have to go to, God knows, Alaska. Or you have to go to the Southern Indies or you have to go to a specific island.

At the same time, there's something magnificent about volcanoes they created the atmosphere that we need for breathing.

I cannot work fast enough. I cannot cope fast enough, really. And just releasing a film is hard.
Werner Herzog
Image
I work very fast and steadily, and I don't hardly ever notice that I'm working. It feels like just breathing or walking when I do films.

You can fight a rumour only with an even wilder rumour.
