Werner Herzog
There is a fascination about crime, which is understandable, but hardly anyone talks about the families of victims of violent crime and the devastation that is beyond the victim alone.
Werner Herzog
It's all movies for me. And besides, when you say documentaries, in my case, in most of these cases, means feature film in disguise.
Werner Herzog
I do have a clear vision, and I do see things that are existing in my quote-unquote spirit, but that doesn't necessary make me a very spiritual person.
Werner Herzog
There are specific times where film noir is a natural concomitant of the mood. When there's insecurity, collapse of financial systems - that's where film noir always hits fertile ground.
Werner Herzog
I believe the common denominator of the Universe is not harmony, but chaos, hostility and murder.
Werner Herzog
As for the anger of the volcano, we leave it up to the local populations who create their demons, their gods and their divine punishment.

I don't dabble, I'm good at acting.
