More quotes by Werner Herzog
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
I could not become an American citizen. I would not like to become a citizen of a country that has capital punishment.
Werner Herzog
Here, all of a sudden, we have a revolution in - in communication, and it is - it is really, truly big. Internet is as big as the introduction of fire to the human race, or the introduction of electricity into our lives.
Werner Herzog
Once in a while I come across a director who hasgrown up thousands of miles from me, and the work touches me.Through these issues/50/images I am connected and something is illuminated.And I know then that I am not alone.
Werner Herzog
At the end [when I speak about] magma under us everywhere, how it's monumentally indifferent to scurrying roaches, recoiled reptiles, and vapid humans alike. You see, you would never hear anything like that in a National Geographic or a PBS movie. This is clearly a transgression when it comes to being politically correct with your commentary.
Werner Herzog
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.
Werner Herzog
What I do not like, the kind of high-resolution cameras, 4K, 6K, for shooting dialogue, for having faces and close-ups of actors, and you see every single pore in the skin.
Werner Herzog
I'm a very professional man. I'm not out for the experience of adventure.
Werner Herzog
I don't care whether the person is guilty or not guilty. It's not my business to establish guilt or innocence. It's a court of law that does that and a jury does that, but not me.
Werner Herzog
I never planned my career in steps. It's all coming at me like burglars in the night.
Werner Herzog
While you are walking you would learn much more about filmmaking than if you were in a classroom. During your voyage you will learn more about what your future holds than in five years at film school. Your experiences would be the very opposite of academic knowledge, for academia is the death of cinema. It is the very opposite of passion.
Werner Herzog
I know whenever it comes to be really dysfunctional and vile and base and hostile on screen, I'm good at that.
Werner Herzog
Fact creates norms, and truth illumination.
Werner Herzog
We do not see the danger clearly enough that we develop images adequate to our state of civilization. When you watch TV, you know instantly that there's something wrong with the images. When you open a magazine and see the ads, you know there's something wrong with the images. And it's unhealthy and not good and outright dangerous, in my opinion.
Werner Herzog
I think I'm a prudent filmmaker.
Werner Herzog
Never wallow in your troubles despair must be kept private and brief.
Werner Herzog
You should bear in mind that almost all my documentaries are feature films in disguise.
Werner Herzog
Of course, as a German, I wouldn't like to tell the American people how to handle their criminal justice.
Werner Herzog
Otherwise [digital revolution] hasn't changed my way of filmmaking, I'm not nostalgic in postulating we should still make films on celluloid. I love celluloid but I don't need to continue on celluloid.
Werner Herzog
I don't dabble, I'm good at acting.
Werner Herzog
