One of the most original and poetic works of cinema made anywhere in the seventies.
Werner Herzog
Image
In a way, I managed to get the deepest things, the best things out of people. That's why I'm a filmmaker. If you don't have it in you, you'd better do something else.
Werner Herzog
Image
I know whenever it comes to be really dysfunctional and vile and base and hostile on screen, I'm good at that.
Werner Herzog
Image
The danger is to stupidly believe that depicting facts gives us much insight. If facts were the only thing that counted, the telephone directory would be the book of books.
Werner Herzog
Image
Well, it had to be about the stories and the people who live under the volcano, what kind of new gods do they create? What sort of demons? And of course North Korea falls clearly into this category since the socialist revolution at the end of the Second World War. Somehow they adopted the myth of the power and dynamics of their volcano.

I am someone who takes everything very literally. I simply do not understand irony, a defect I have had ever since I was able to think independently.
Werner Herzog
Image
I always loved celluloid cameras in the early days that were sturdy and reliable. Even under tropical conditions and downpour of rain, it would still work.
Werner Herzog
Image
I think it is a quest of literature throughout the ages to describe the human condition.
Werner Herzog
Image
However, there are a couple of volcanoes very close nearby, like Vesuvius in Italy right next to Naples.
Werner Herzog
Image
I know what I'm talking about and I've never been over budget, in 70 films.
Werner Herzog
Image
What would an ocean be without a monster lurking in the dark? It would be like sleep without dreams.
Werner Herzog
Image
We are surrounded by worn-out, banal, useless and exhausted images, limping and dragging themselves behind the rest of our cultural evolution.
Werner Herzog
Image
North Korea has a very striking mythology there. It is influencing the whole nation.
Werner Herzog
Image
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.
Werner Herzog
Image
I think psychology and self-reflection is one of the major catastrophes of the twentieth century.
Werner Herzog
Image
I would travel down to Hell and wrestle a film away from the devil if it was necessary.
Werner Herzog
Image
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
Image
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 doubt that VR will really replace the quality of books. If you want to go into let's say the Prado in Madrid and you want to go into Hieronymus Bosch or whatever, you'd rather go into books and you take your time and it's sitting there all day long and you go back and revisit it and it becomes part of your physical life.

I'm quite convinced that cooking is the only alternative to film making. Maybe there's also another alternative, that's walking on foot.
