It's not because nature is angry, it's rather that we are stupid. We're not doing the right thing with our planet.

I make films because I have not learned anything else and I know I can do it to a certain degree. And it is my duty because this might be the inner chronicle of what we are. We have to articulate ourselves, otherwise we would be cows in the field.

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.

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.

After Jack Reacher the parts I didn't like, most of it was silly.

There's a completely new culture out there. I'm not a participant of texting and driving - or texting at all - but I see there's something going on in civilization which is coming with great vehemence at us.

Of course the entire planet Earth consists of magma under us, and only the very inner-core is different.

I think psychology and self-reflection is one of the major catastrophes of the twentieth century.

Everything you see in North Korea, it's all propaganda, but it's all connected to the volcano.
Werner Herzog

We live in a society that has no adequate images anymore, and if we do not find adequate images and an adequate language for our civilization with which to express them, we will die out like the dinosaurs.

Strangely enough, there's this mythology sprouting out that I cannot stop.
