Quote

I do not want to have a cell phone. I do not want it for cultural reasons. I do not want to be available all the time. I want to have time to think and to touch somebody, and have a meal across my kitchen table without a cell phone, being constantly on tweets.

I must say, the people who started this whole Masterclass series have been very helpful and very intelligent to point out certain things and also give me some guidance, isn't there something missing, shouldn't we address this or that? so it's not completely alone out of the blue.

The wonderful thing is that Clive [Oppenheimer ] insisted on training his camera - his private camera - on me at one point. We were discussing things such as how to avoid certain dangers, while reflecting on a volcano that had threatened to explode 40 years ago.

I was able to persuade them to let me shoot in areas that were beyond the volcano itself. Beyond the joint scientific program between Cambridge University and North Korean scientists. I was able to film in a kindergarten, subway, other things you would not normally be allowed to do.

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 travel without barely any luggage. Just a second set of underwear and binoculars and a map and a toothbrush.

Image
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.

I discover no kinship, no understanding, no mercy. I see only the overwhelming indifference of nature.

Of course, as a German, I wouldn't like to tell the American people how to handle their criminal justice.

Film is not the art of scholars, but of illiterates.

Image
I'm a very circumspect and prudent person, and I eliminate danger as far as it can be done.
Werner Herzog

When you look at my film you see footage that is unbelievably awesome and beautiful and dangerous looking. It's something that is very, very cinematic.

I would travel down to Hell and wrestle a film away from the devil if it was necessary.

At the same time, there's something magnificent about volcanoes they created the atmosphere that we need for breathing.
