The collapse of the stellar universe will occur - like creation - in grandiose splendor.
Werner Herzog
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.

Tourism is sin, and travel on foot virtue.
Werner Herzog

Coincidences always happen if you keep your mind open, while storyboards remain the instruments of cowards who do not trust in their own imagination and who are slaves of a matrix If you get used to planning your shots based solely on aesthetics, you are never that far from kitsch.
Werner Herzog
Image

Werner Herzog
Image
I know what I'm talking about and I've never been over budget, in 70 films.
Werner Herzog
Image
The paintings are not just on flat walls - you have these enormous niches, bulges and protrusions, as well as stalactites and stalagmites. The effect of the three-dimensionality is phenomenal. It's a real drama which the artists of the time understood, and they used it for the drama of their paintings.
Werner Herzog
Image
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
Image
I despise formal restaurants. I find all of that formality to be very base and vile. I would much rather eat potato chips on the sidewalk.
Werner Herzog
Image
You should look straight at a film that's the only way to see one. Film is not the art of scholars but of illiterates.
Werner Herzog
Image
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.
Werner Herzog
Image
I'm a very circumspect and prudent person, and I eliminate danger as far as it can be done.
Werner Herzog
Image
I shouldn't make movies anymore. I should go to a lunatic asylum.
