More quotes by Werner Herzog
I do not believe in the Cinema verite. Sometimes a really good lie is better than any truth.
Werner Herzog
In the Chauvet Cave, there is a painting of a bison embracing the lower part of a naked female body. Why does Pablo Picasso, who had no knowledge of the Chauvet Cave, use exactly the same motif in his series of drawings of the Minotaur and the woman? Very, very strange.
Werner Herzog
I have never been one of those who cares about happiness. Happiness is a strange notion. I am just not made for it. It has never been a goal of mine I do not think in those terms.
Werner Herzog
If I had to climb into hell and wrestle the devil himself for one of my films, I would do it.
Werner Herzog
I'm reminded of an interview Larry King had on his talk show with one of Michael Jackson's sisters. He's talking about how many millions she made on her latest record, and all of a sudden, she looks at him tearfully and says, Larry, you know, I'm not interested in money or sales or songs.

Werner Herzog
Every man should pull a boat over a mountain once in his life.
Werner Herzog
I prefer the material woman.
Werner Herzog
I'm quite convinced that cooking is the only alternative to film making. Maybe there's also another alternative, that's walking on foot.
Werner Herzog
Hold firm to your vision but don't be a tyrant on set.
Werner Herzog
For me, the distinction between documentaries and feature films is not so clear - my documentaries were largely scripted, rehearsed, and repeated, and have a lot of fantasy and concoction in them.
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
Roger Ebert was the last mammoth alive who was holding the flag for real movies and moviemakers.
Werner Herzog
After Jack Reacher the parts I didn't like, most of it was silly.
Werner Herzog
There's this kind of strange mythology about me in the media because I've done unusual things.
Werner Herzog
Tourism is sin, and travel on foot virtue.

English is a really wonderful language and I urge you all to investigate it
