Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 000034029
It's all movies for me. And besides, when you say documentaries, in my case, in most of these cases, means "feature film" in disguise. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 000047121
If you truly love film, I think the healthiest thing to do is not read books on the subject. I prefer the glossy film magazines with their big color photos and gossip columns, or the National Enquirer. Such vulgarity is healthy and safe. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 000061573
If you're purely after facts, please buy yourself the phone directory of Manhattan. It has four million times correct facts. But it doesn't illuminate. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 000075468
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
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 000108749
I am torn between the beauty of the natural world, which you see all around us, and the idea that some dumb tornado could blow a telephone pole onto my sweet Camaro. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 000132673
A fairly young, intelligent-looking man with long hair asked me whether filming or being filmed could do harm, whether it could destroy a person. In my heart the answer was yes, but I said no. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 000145778
Without dreams we would be cows in a field, and I don't want to live like that. I live my life or I end my life with this project. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 000155818
We live in a society that has no adequate images anymore, and if we do not find adequate images and an adequate language for our civilization with which to express them, we will die out like the dinosaurs. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 000166374
I have been in lots of very intense life situations. I have been shot at, and I have been hungry, and I have been in solitude, and I have also briefly been behind bars. So in a way, I know the heart of men. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 000186259
I could not become an American citizen. I would not like to become a citizen of a country that has capital punishment. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 000198874
The punishment itself is something I respectfully disagree with, but for thousands and thousands of years it was practiced everywhere. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 000208566
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
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 000225654
I am not an artist and never have been. Rather I am like a craftsman and feel very close to the mediaeval artisans who produced their work anonymously and who, along with their apprentices, had a true feeling for the physical materials they were working with. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 000228166
Facts do not convey truth. That's a mistake. Facts create norms, but truth creates illumination. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 000232651
The trees are in misery, and the birds are in misery. I don't think they sing. They just screech in pain. ... Taking a close look at what's around us, there is some sort of harmony: it's the harmony of overwhelming and collective murder. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 000239943
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. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 000312188
If you do not have an absolutely clear vision of something, where you can follow the light to the end of the tunnel, then it doesn't matter whether you're bold or cowardly, or whether you're stupid or intelligent. Doesn't get you anywhere. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 000333752
But the question that everyone wanted answered was whether I would have the nerve and the strength to start the whole process from scratch. I said yes; otherwise I would be someone who had no dream left, and without dreams I would not want to live. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 000358240
I'm quite convinced that cooking is the only alternative to film making. Maybe there's also another alternative, that's walking on foot. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 000378105
Someone like Jean-Luc Godard is for me intellectual counterfeit money when compared to a good kung fu film. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 000398807
Film is not analysis, it is the agitation of mind; cinema comes from the country fair and the circus, not from art and academicism. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 000398823
In my films, I hope there are a few moments where you feel almost illuminated, like in a state of ecstasy, stepping out of yourself, beyond yourself and perceiving something which is only, in the case of cinema, possible in collective dreams. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 000398834
Academia is the death of cinema. It is the very opposite of passion. Film is not the art of scholars, but of illiterates. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 000410164
I have not seen a film as powerful, surreal, and frightening in at least a decade unprecedented in the history of cinema. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 000415768
I work very fast and steadily, and I don't hardly ever notice that I'm working. It feels like just breathing or walking when I do films. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 000421297
I prefer to be alive, so I'm cautious about taking risks. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 000425587

Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 000443150
I think it is a quest of literature throughout the ages to describe the human condition. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 000488426
You should bear in mind that almost all my documentaries are feature films in disguise. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 000502268
I despise formal restaurants. I find all of that formality to be very base and vile. I would much rather eat potato chips on the sidewalk. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 000519335
Martin Luther was asked, what would you do if tomorrow the world would come to an end, and he said, 'I would plant an apple tree today.' This is a real good answer. I would start shooting a movie. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 000531439
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
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 000575558
If an actor knows how to milk a cow, I always know it will not be difficult to be in business with him. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 000606878
Technology has a great advantage in that we are capable of creating dinosaurs and show them on the screen even though they are extinct 65 million years. All of a sudden, we have a fantastic tool that is as good as dreams are. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 000613360
The universe is monstrously indifferent to the presence of man. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 000664748
Along with this rapid growth of forms of communication at our disposal - be it fax, phone, email, Internet or whatever - human solitude will increase in direct proportion. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 000689407
I cannot work fast enough. I cannot cope fast enough, really. And just releasing a film is hard. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 000693235
I shouldn't make movies anymore. I should go to a lunatic asylum. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 000705700

Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 000708607
Fact creates norms, and truth illumination. -- Werner Herzog

Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 000725781
Tourism is a mortal sin. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 000740942
You must live life in its very elementary forms. The Mexicans have a very nice word for it: pura vida. It doesn't mean just purity of life, but the raw, stark-naked quality of life. And that's what makes young people more into a filmmaker than academia. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 000778332
It is only through writing that I become myself -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 000784727
We are surrounded by worn-out, banal, useless and exhausted images, limping and dragging themselves behind the rest of our cultural evolution. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 000797507
There are certainly laws and elements that make a film more accessible to mainstream audiences. If you've got Tom Cruise as a strongman, I'm sure it would have larger audiences, but it wouldn't have the same substance. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 000816075
Tourism is sin, and travel on foot virtue. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 000824979
James Joyce is a cul-de-sac. [Ulysses is] ... an example how literature branched out and went into, lost itself in nowhere, no man's land. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 000825119
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. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 000837584
Life in the oceans must be sheer hell. A vast, merciless hell of permanent and immediate danger. So much of a hell that during evolution some species - including man - crawled, fled onto some small continents of solid land, where the Lessons of Darkness continue. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 000878585
I think there are specific times where film noir is a natural concomitant of the mood. When there's insecurity, collapse of financial systems - that's where film noir always hits fertile ground. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 000883411
I find it interesting that there are impostors out on the Internet pretending to be Werner Herzog. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 000884707
What would an ocean be without a monster lurking in the dark? It would be like sleep without dreams. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 000922322
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
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 000924506
I think the worst that can happen in filmmaking is if you're working with a storyboard. That kills all intuition, all fantasy, all creativity. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 000940449
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
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 000958332
I travel without barely any luggage. Just a second set of underwear and binoculars and a map and a toothbrush. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 000966855

Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 000975053
Hold firm to your vision but don't be a tyrant on set, -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001004646

Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001033914
I am a product of my failures, -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001034469
If you want to do a film, steal a camera, steal raw stock, sneak into a lab and do it! -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001059521
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
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001070414
I think there should be holy war against yoga classes. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001075599

English is a really wonderful language and I urge you all to investigate it -- Werner Herzog

Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001142670
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
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001145999
I know whenever it comes to be really dysfunctional and vile and base and hostile on screen, I'm good at that! -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001157828
I have never been one of those who cares about happiness. Happiness is a strange notion. I am just not made for it. It has never been a goal of mine; I do not think in those terms. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001161974
If you go to Florence, it has all surface beauty, but like Venice, it's simply a museum of Renaissance times. Los Angeles is raw, uncouth and bizarre, but it's a place of substance. It has more new horizons than any other place. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001166969
Life on our planet has been a constant series of cataclysmic events, and we are more suitable for extinction than a trilobite or a reptile. So we will vanish. There's no doubt in my heart. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001169324
I'm not a journalist; I'm a poet. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001178736
In Germany, you would be hanged if you cracked a joke about Hitler and you would be killed by the state if you were insane in a project of euthanasia. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001186366
I live my life outside of the glitz and glamour of the red carpet events, and so you'll never see me there. I'm never at parties. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001223685
What have we done to our images? What have we done to our embarrassed landscapes? I have said this before and will repeat it again as long as I am able to talk: if we do not develop adequate images we will die out like dinosaurs. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001226125
Truth itself wanders through the forests. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001247687

Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001260736
The collapse of the stellar universe will occur - like creation - in grandiose splendor. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001271329
In a way, I managed to get the deepest things, the best things out of people. That's why I'm a filmmaker. If you don't have it in you, you'd better do something else. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001281054
I think psychology and self-reflection is one of the major catastrophes of the twentieth century. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001285916
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
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001293480
Sometimes bad luck hits you like in an ancient Greek tragedy, and it's not your own making. When you have a plane crash, it's not your fault. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001299361
One more thing: Philippe, you are not a coward-so what I want to hear from you is the ecstatic truth about the twin towers. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001316680

Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001323460
You can fight a rumour only with an even wilder rumour. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001324048
I have a great map of the Tibesti Mountains in the southern Sahara or Northern Chad. It's a dream of mine to go there, but it's such a volatile area, you have to be prudent. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001327810
People think we had a love-hate relationship. Well, I did not love him, nor did I hate him. We had mutual respect for each other, even as we both planned each other's murder. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001330304
I'm not into digital marketing, downloading, or streaming - I've always been a man of the theaters. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001343736
Civilization is like a thin layer of ice upon a deep ocean of chaos and darkness. -- Werner Herzog

May I propose a Herzog dictum? those who read own the world, and those who watch television lose it. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001343741

Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001343742
I discover no kinship, no understanding, no mercy. I see only the overwhelming indifference of nature. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001344536
I believe the common denominator of the universe is not harmony; but chaos, hostility and murder. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001346084
Coincidences always happen if you keep your mind open, while storyboards remain the instruments of cowards who do not trust in their own imagination and who are slaves of a matrix If you get used to planning your shots based solely on aesthetics, you are never that far from kitsch. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001351812
I'm the last one who would do self-analysis. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001383415
Nothing I have witnessed, from lava to crustacean, assailed me liked the caked debris haunting that small plastic soap hammock in the smaller of the bathrooms. Nausea is not a sufficient word. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001402328
Do you not then hear this horrible scream all around you that people usually call silence. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001456478
One of the most original and poetic works of cinema made anywhere in the seventies. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001459475

The universe is not harmonious: you know that by looking outside. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001505406

Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001512282
It happens sometimes that the material itself carries things you have not fully planned. The footage has its own right, its own life, its own vibrancy and energy in it. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001527360
I would travel down to Hell and wrestle a film away from the devil if it was necessary. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001535637
I see planets that don't exist and landscapes that have only been dreamed. -- Werner Herzog

I'm simply not afraid. It's not in my dictionary of behaviour. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001559873

Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001569587
Get used to the bear behind you. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001589529

Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001597332
I think a state should not be in the capacity of killing anyone with the exception of warfare. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001606846
Facts sometimes have a strange and bizarre power that makes their inherent truth seem unbelievable. -- Werner Herzog

Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001622533
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. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001622591
Some of the most important caves, like Lascaux in the Dordogne region in France, have had to be closed down. There had been too many people allowed in, and they left a mold on the walls that is spreading and which can't really be stopped. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001672819
Yes, the pyramids have been built, but if you give me 300,000 disciplined men and give me 30 years, I could build a bigger one. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001677174
If you want to propose marriage to your girlfriend and you live in England and she is in Sicily, do the decent thing and walk down there. Travelling by car or aeroplane wouldn't be right at such a moment. -- Werner Herzog

I'm not an interviewer. I have conversations. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001686417
I never planned my career in steps. It's all coming at me like burglars in the night. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001697690
Our presence on this planet does not seem to be sustainable. Our technological civilisation makes up particularly vulnerable. There is talk all over the scientific community about climate change. Many of them [scientists] agree, the end of human life on earth is assured. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001706696
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
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001716399
Let's put it this way: 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
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001720499
I do other sorts of things. I act in other people's movies. I direct operas. I write books. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001724403
I'm not very eager to sit and look at my films all the time. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001742024
I do whatever pushes me hardest. It's coming at me and I try to. It's like uninvited guest and I have to wrestle them out the door or through the window - get them out and get over with them quickly. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001751788
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
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001757081
I function better in the jungle in Amazonia or Antarctica or Alaska or the Sahara desert. An artificial environment like a studio has never attracted me. I could work in a studio, but I would never really feel at home. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001766217
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
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001770300
I know for sure that there is only one step from insecticide to genocide. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001771173

I'm a very professional man. I'm not out for the experience of adventure. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001813907
In the face of the obscene, explicit malice of the jungle, which lacks only dinosaurs as punctuation, I feel like a half-finished, poorly expressed sentence in a cheap novel. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001839724
I love nature, but against my better judgment. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001842297
At the market I ate a piece of a grilled monkey - it looked like a naked child. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001849656
Why go to Antarctica, why do a film like 'Grizzly Man'? It's the sheer joy of storytelling - it's the urge. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001856461
If you don't have a deal in two days, you won't have a deal in two years -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001856462
The opinion of the public is sacred. The director is a cook who merely offers different dishes to them and has no right to insist they react in a particular way. A film is just a projection of light, completed only when it crosses the gaze of the audience[ ... ] -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001856463
I'm a very circumspect and prudent person, and I eliminate danger as far as it can be done. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001862663
I never have searched for a subject. They always just come along. They never come by way of decision-making. They just haunt me. I can't get rid of them. I did not invite them. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001866052
For me a true landscape is not just a representation of a desert or a forest. It shows an inner state of mind, literally inner landscapes, and it is the human soul that is visible through the landscapes presented in my films. -- Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog Quotes : pic 001875290
I like to direct landscapes just as I like to direct actors and animals. -- Werner Herzog
