You can't have a helicopter fly over boiling lava. It would've exploded from the heat, and is just way too dangerous. The pilot of a helicopter would've flatly refused anyway.

More quotes by Werner Herzog
This is the birth of the modern human soul. The artists are like us, not like the Neanderthals, who had no culture - and who incidentally were still roaming the landscape at the time the paintings were made. It is striking that there is a distant cultural echo that seems to reach all the way down to us, over dozens of millennia.
Werner Herzog
Every man should pull a boat over a mountain once in his life.
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
Read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read...if you don't read, you will never be a filmmaker.
Werner Herzog
If the part is really good of course I would like to do it.
Werner Herzog
I function better in the jungle in Amazonia or Antarctica or Alaska or the Sahara desert. An artificial environment like a studio has never attracted me. I could work in a studio, but I would never really feel at home.
Werner Herzog
It's not because nature is angry, it's rather that we are stupid. We're not doing the right thing with our planet.
Werner Herzog
Never wallow in your troubles despair must be kept private and brief.
Werner Herzog
Fact creates norms, and truth illumination.
Werner Herzog
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
You can fight a rumour only with an even wilder rumour.
Werner Herzog
Sometimes bad luck hits you like in an ancient Greek tragedy, and it's not your own making. When you have a plane crash, it's not your fault.
Werner Herzog
When you look at the paintings at Chauvet Cave, they're not primitive or like children's little scribbles, it bursts on the scene fully accomplished and when you look through the faces of cultural history, art history, it has never gotten any better.
Werner Herzog
You better make yourself acquainted to what the requirements are, what the value of money is all about and how you create a long-term survival, and in many cases it has to do with how you handle finances.
Werner Herzog
The volcano itself wasn't that interesting, but the man who refused to be evacuated - the only one of 75,000 people - was what set the tone for the film [Encounters at the End of the World] that we made together [with Clive Oppenheimer] ten years later.
Werner Herzog
English is a really wonderful language and I urge you all to investigate it
Werner Herzog
We ought to be grateful that the Universe out there knows no smile.

THE ACT OF KILLING invents a new form of cinematic surrealism.
Werner Herzog
I'm not a one-trick horse.
Werner Herzog
ِِِِِِِِِِArt house theaters are vanishing. They have almost disappeared completely, and that means there's a shift in what audiences want to see. And they have to be aware of that and be realistic. It's as simple as that.
