Quote

Everything that I've done was prudent and never has anyone gotten hurt in my films - not a single actor, not a single extra, ever.

I do not recall to [Kim Jong-un], but it was complex. Dear young leader of the people and chairman of the joint military commission or something like that.

I doubt that VR will really replace the quality of books. If you want to go into let's say the Prado in Madrid and you want to go into Hieronymus Bosch or whatever, you'd rather go into books and you take your time and it's sitting there all day long and you go back and revisit it and it becomes part of your physical life.

The power of a volcano when it erupts is so evident, so visible, so palpable.
Werner Herzog
Image
I am someone who takes everything very literally. I simply do not understand irony, a defect I have had ever since I was able to think independently.
Werner Herzog
Image
I looked, for example, to certain types of literature to which I would like to refer, like The Peregrine by J. A. Baker, and I mention a book, read this, read it, read it if you are serious of being in any type of art or into filmmaking, or films that I should quote as examples.

Facts sometimes have a strange and bizarre power that makes their inherent truth seem unbelievable.

Image
At the end [when I speak about] magma under us everywhere, how it's monumentally indifferent to scurrying roaches, recoiled reptiles, and vapid humans alike. You see, you would never hear anything like that in a National Geographic or a PBS movie. This is clearly a transgression when it comes to being politically correct with your commentary.

The volcano itself wasn't that interesting, but the man who refused to be evacuated - the only one of 75,000 people - was what set the tone for the film [Encounters at the End of the World] that we made together [with Clive Oppenheimer] ten years later.

I have nothing against 3D films but I do not need to see them.
Werner Herzog
Image
The universe couldn't care less about us. I say this very clearly in the film [ Into the Inferno]: our planet is indifferent to scurrying roaches, retarded reptiles and vapid humans alike.
Werner Herzog
Image
I see planets that don't exist and landscapes that have only been dreamed.
Werner Herzog
Image
When you look at the paintings at Chauvet Cave, they're not primitive or like children's little scribbles, it bursts on the scene fully accomplished and when you look through the faces of cultural history, art history, it has never gotten any better.

It's funny how in the long time of me working in various countries and various situations that there is this kind of idea out in the media that I am a daredevil and that I risk the lives of everyone around me, but nobody ever gets hurt on my shoot. Some crew members sometimes, but the actors are OK.

I know what I'm talking about and I've never been over budget, in 70 films.

I like and I love everything that has to do with cinema, writing, directing, editing, creating music, and even acting.
Werner Herzog
Image
I prefer to be alive, so I'm cautious about taking risks.

North Korea is not an exception. Even there, where you think it would be completely sober, they have the myth of their revolution being connected to the volcano.
Werner Herzog
Image
I don't care whether the person is guilty or not guilty. It's not my business to establish guilt or innocence. It's a court of law that does that and a jury does that, but not me.
Werner Herzog
Image
You have to be very prudent with what you are doing and what sort of tools you are utilizing. Drones have become a wonderful new tool in filmmaking.

Robert Rodriguez, makes a feature film in 35mm celluloid one and a half hours long, and nobody believed him, I think he wrote a book about it and gave all the details of how he spent the money, even making a 35mm celluloid feature film was possible, at least for Rodriguez.
