The universe couldn't care less about us. I say this very clearly in the film [ Into the Inferno]: our planet is indifferent to scurrying roaches, retarded reptiles and vapid humans alike.

More quotes by Werner Herzog
My crew [on Fitzcarraldo filming] actually said, We have filmed it from outside on the rocks of the shore. We should be on board [the ship], and I said it's dangerous, I only do it if you cinematographer Thomas Mauch and you actor [Klaus] Kinski decide on your own.
Werner Herzog
You have to be very prudent with what you are doing and what sort of tools you are utilizing. Drones have become a wonderful new tool in filmmaking.
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
There is never an excuse not to finish a film.
Werner Herzog
Of course subjects are changing, and since I started so early in filmmaking, I did my first film at age 19, of course you grow up with your films and you are not trotting the same path all the time.
Werner Herzog
I do not want to have a cell phone. I do not want it for cultural reasons. I do not want to be available all the time. I want to have time to think and to touch somebody, and have a meal across my kitchen table without a cell phone, being constantly on tweets.
Werner Herzog
Money doesn't make films. You just do it and take the initiative.
Werner Herzog
I'm not a citizen of America, I cannot vote. But it is fascinating because there's a new kind of protagonist out there that we didn't expect. By the way, I'm not in any panic at all.
Werner Herzog
I think psychology and self-reflection is one of the major catastrophes of the twentieth century.
Werner Herzog
Some of the most important caves, like Lascaux in the Dordogne region in France, have had to be closed down. There had been too many people allowed in, and they left a mold on the walls that is spreading and which can't really be stopped.
Werner Herzog
Fact creates norms, and truth illumination.
Werner Herzog
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
This climate surrounding me has reached Clive Oppenheimer. In practical terms he sees that I'm not interested in any sort of daredevil stunts, I'm just interested in the work. And he's convinced that I'm clinically sane.
Werner Herzog
I would travel down to Hell and wrestle a film away from the devil if it was necessary.
Werner Herzog
It happens sometimes that the material itself carries things you have not fully planned. The footage has its own right, its own life, its own vibrancy and energy in it.
Werner Herzog
Get used to the bear behind you.
Werner Herzog
The universe is not harmonious: you know that by looking outside.
Werner Herzog
English is a really wonderful language and I urge you all to investigate it
Werner Herzog
Facts sometimes have a strange and bizarre power that makes their inherent truth seem unbelievable.
Werner Herzog
Because you're delegated to a cook book recipe and you slavishly and pedantically rely on it while you're shooting and you're not relying on your creative instincts and you're not relying on something which brings life into movies and excitement into it.
Werner Herzog
