More quotes by Werner Herzog
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.
Werner Herzog
If you don’t have a deal in two days, you won’t have a deal in two years.
Werner Herzog
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.
Werner Herzog
Look into the eyes of a chicken and you will see real stupidity. It is a kind of bottomless stupidity, a fiendish stupidity. They are the most horrifying, cannibalistic and nightmarish creatures in the world.
Werner Herzog
I wouldn't like to travel at all. I've been too much around.
Werner Herzog
It has always been my aim to find that sort of passion and figure out how to transform it into cinema.Timothy Treadwell's footage was almost like a diary, and he had always dreamt of becoming the movie star in his own gigantic production.
Werner Herzog
I like and I love everything that has to do with cinema, writing, directing, editing, creating music, and even acting.
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
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
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
Women have a very good sense for seeing instantly what constitutes a good man. Not physically. The physical strength is only a small side of it.
Werner Herzog
Orson Welles, one of the best of the best. One of the strongest. As strong as an animal. He somehow was pushed out of the business because he would spend the entire budget of the film before he had even done half the pre-production.
Werner Herzog
Tourism is a mortal sin.
Werner Herzog
I shouldn't make movies anymore. I should go to a lunatic asylum.
Werner Herzog
I have learned a lot through defeats, and, until today, it's - I'm still haunted by defeats, and they do happen. Sometimes, a film of mine is rejected. And how do you deal with it? And you have to learn how to deal with it and survive anyway.
Werner Herzog
Because you're delegated to a cook book recipe and you slavishly and pedantically rely on it while you're shooting and you're not relying on your creative instincts and you're not relying on something which brings life into movies and excitement into it.
Werner Herzog
North Korea has a very striking mythology there. It is influencing the whole nation.
Werner Herzog
I find it interesting that there are impostors out on the Internet pretending to be Werner Herzog.
Werner Herzog
The elections have a different platform, the town hall is the platform for it. But the other question behind all this is should I run for president?
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. I'm a spiritual person. And I thought, Oh my god...
