If I had to climb into hell and wrestle the devil himself for one of my films, I would do it.
Werner Herzog
Image
The elections have a different platform, the town hall is the platform for it. But the other question behind all this is should I run for president?
Werner Herzog
Image
Film is not analysis, it is the agitation of mind cinema comes from the country fair and the circus, not from art and academicism.

May I propose a Herzog dictum? Those who read own the world, and those who watch television lose it.

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.

I doubt that VR will really replace the quality of books.

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.

Image
[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
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.

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

If you do not understand how finances are functioning, you are in a very precarious situation, at least concerning long-term survival.
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
Everyone who makes films has to be an athlete to a certain degree because cinema does not come from abstract academic thinking it comes from your knees and thighs.

Netflix trusted me in a way that was very, very pleasant.
