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.

There's more substance in my prose and my poetry than in all my films together. Writing is a more direct way of expressing yourself because, in cinema, you always have finances, organization, actors, technical apparatus and all that stuff coming in between.

Of course, as a German, I wouldn't like to tell the American people how to handle their criminal justice.
Werner Herzog
Image
There are deeper strata of truth in cinema, and there is such a thing as poetic, ecstatic truth. It is mysterious and elusive, and can be reached only through fabrication and imagination and stylization.
Werner Herzog
Image
I'm not into the culture of complaint. I roll up my sleeves and somehow I get it together.
Werner Herzog
Image
When the camera is looking back at our planet Earth, it's the tiniest of specks somewhere out there in the universe. So we do have a new sense of proportion. Of course the volcanoes and the magma under us just remind us of that.
Werner Herzog
Image
I think it is a quest of literature throughout the ages to describe the human condition.

Facts do not constitute truth.

For such an advanced civilization as ours to be without images that are adequate to it is as serious a defect as being without memory.

I think there should be holy war against yoga classes.
