Werner Herzog Quotes

By the way, today with digital cameras and editing on your laptop, and things like that, you can make a feature film, a narrative feature film easily for $10,000 Picture Quote #1

I’m not into digital marketing, downloading, or streaming - I’ve always been a man of the theaters Picture Quote #1

Otherwise [digital revolution] hasn’t changed my way of filmmaking, I’m not nostalgic in postulating we should still make films on celluloid. I love celluloid but I don’t need to continue on celluloid Picture Quote #1

I always loved celluloid cameras in the early days that were sturdy and reliable. Even under tropical conditions and downpour of rain, it would still work Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I’ve never left my culture. I’ve left my country, but I’ve not left my culture. In the same way, you shouldn’t be worried why George Lucas is going to the outer galaxy to make a movie. He’s still making a film within his culture; he’s making an American film. I go to Thailand or the Peruvian jungle, the Amazon, and I still make Bavarian films Picture Quote #1

I’m not into the culture of complaint. I roll up my sleeves and somehow I get it together Picture Quote #1

I went to volcanoes where I knew that there was a lot of mythology around them; there was something like the creation of gods and monsters and demons Picture Quote #1

I know for sure that there is only one step from insecticide to genocide Picture Quote #1

One of the most original and poetic works of cinema made anywhere in the seventies Picture Quote #1

Facts sometimes have a strange and bizarre power that makes their inherent truth seem unbelievable Picture Quote #1

I like to direct landscapes just as I like to direct actors and animals Picture Quote #1

You should bear in mind that almost all my documentaries are feature films in disguise Picture Quote #1

I see planets that don’t exist and landscapes that have only been dreamed Picture Quote #1

We have to articulate ourselves. Otherwise we would be cows in the field Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I’m not into the culture of complaint. I roll up my sleeves and somehow I get it together Picture Quote #1

I never planned my career in steps. It’s all coming at me like burglars in the night Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I’m a very circumspect and prudent person, and I eliminate danger as far as it can be done Picture Quote #1

With actors, normally I don’t like to have any conversation about background and about motivations and all this Picture Quote #1

The danger is to stupidly believe that depicting facts gives us much insight. If facts were the only thing that counted, the telephone directory would be the book of books Picture Quote #1

There is a fascination about crime, which is understandable, but hardly anyone talks about the families of victims of violent crime and the devastation that is beyond the victim alone Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1
