More quotes by Werner Herzog
If you don’t have a deal in two days, you won’t have a deal in two years.
Werner Herzog
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.
Werner Herzog
I am so used to plunging into the unknown that any other surroundings and form of existence strike me as exotic and unsuitable for human beings.
Werner Herzog
Most of the volcanoes are pretty far away. You have to go to, God knows, Alaska. Or you have to go to the Southern Indies or you have to go to a specific island.
Werner Herzog
Well they are very frightening for me because their stupidity is so flat. You look into the eyes of a chicken and you lose yourself in a completely flat, frightening stupidity. They are like a great metaphor for me... I kind of love chicken, but they frighten me more than any other animal.
Werner Herzog
Read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read...if you don't read, you will never be a filmmaker.
Werner Herzog
We are just a blip. I found it very interesting when Clive [Oppenheimer] interviewed the Ethiopian scientists and asked them, Do we have another 100,000 years? In their calculation, mankind will be entering a very critical phrase a thousand years from now.
Werner Herzog
Ambition is to be the fastest runner on this planet, to be the first on the South Pole, which is a grotesque perversion of ambition. It's an ego trip, and I'm not on an ego trip. I don't have ambitions - I have a vision.
Werner Herzog
We are not accountants, We are not accountants who do number after number after number of storyboard images, a robot could do it ultimately, but what I'm doing a robot cannot do.
Werner Herzog
I am somebody who creates images, with my perspectives, fascinations and my instincts as a narrator. You have to activate the audience's imagination. If you are just giving them scientific results, they would forget the film in five minutes flat.
Werner Herzog
Every man should pull a boat over a mountain once in his life.
Werner Herzog
ِِِِِِِِِِArt house theaters are vanishing. They have almost disappeared completely, and that means there's a shift in what audiences want to see. And they have to be aware of that and be realistic. It's as simple as that.
Werner Herzog
I have not seen a film as powerful, surreal, and frightening in at least a decade unprecedented in the history of cinema.
Werner Herzog
English is a really wonderful language and I urge you all to investigate it
Werner Herzog
I'm not into the culture of complaint. I roll up my sleeves and somehow I get it together.
Werner Herzog
My contacts with the film industry can be described in very simple terms: The industry does not really need me, and I do not really need the industry.
Werner Herzog
Never wallow in your troubles despair must be kept private and brief.
Werner Herzog
What would an ocean be without a monster lurking in the dark? It would be like sleep without dreams.
Werner Herzog
You can fight a rumour only with an even wilder rumour.
Werner Herzog
I think it is a quest of literature throughout the ages to describe the human condition.
Werner Herzog
