More quotes by Werner Herzog
For me a true landscape is not just a representation of a desert or a forest. It shows an inner state of mind, literally inner landscapes, and it is the human soul that is visible through the landscapes presented in my films.
Werner Herzog
Of course, as a German, I wouldn't like to tell the American people how to handle their criminal justice.
Werner Herzog
In the face of the obscene, explicit malice of the jungle, which lacks only dinosaurs as punctuation, I feel like a half-finished, poorly expressed sentence in a cheap novel.
Werner Herzog
Never wallow in your troubles despair must be kept private and brief.
Werner Herzog
Get used to the bear behind you.
Werner Herzog
I am not an artist and never have been. Rather I am like a craftsman and feel very close to the mediaeval artisans who produced their work anonymously and who, along with their apprentices, had a true feeling for the physical materials they were working with.
Werner Herzog
If you want to propose marriage to your girlfriend and you live in England and she is in Sicily, do the decent thing and walk down there. Travelling by car or aeroplane wouldn't be right at such a moment.
Werner Herzog
It seems odd, but people who see my films normally take them in in a deeper way than you would actually watch a film, let's say The Terminator or whatever.
Werner Herzog
All of a sudden it's twelve-year-olds who are contacting me, fifteen-year-olds, and they have very, very fascinating questions. However, they speak in a language of their age group which I have to learn first.
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
The beauty of Netflix is on the 28th of October they push a button and the film will be in 190 countries at the same moment in 17 languages.
Werner Herzog
I'm not into digital marketing, downloading, or streaming - I've always been a man of the theaters.
Werner Herzog
I despise formal restaurants. I find all of that formality to be very base and vile. I would much rather eat potato chips on the sidewalk.
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.
Werner Herzog
Of course the entire planet Earth consists of magma under us, and only the very inner-core is different.
Werner Herzog
There's happens to be a volcano in the vicinity and there's some talk about a volcano as well, so that's the title Salt and Fire
Werner Herzog
Maybe I should stay a good soldier of cinema.
Werner Herzog
English is a really wonderful language and I urge you all to investigate it
Werner Herzog
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
At the same time, there's something magnificent about volcanoes they created the atmosphere that we need for breathing.
