Ambition is to be the fastest...

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 181 quotes

Perhaps I seek certain utopia...

Perhaps I seek certain utopian things, space for human honour and respect, landscapes not yet offended, planets that do not exist yet, dreamed landscapes.

Werner Herzog 181 quotes

I do other sorts of things. I...

I do other sorts of things. I act in other people's movies. I direct operas. I write books.

Werner Herzog 181 quotes

I know whenever it comes to b...

I know whenever it comes to be really dysfunctional and vile and base and hostile on screen, I'm good at that!

Werner Herzog 181 quotes

I travel without barely any l...

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

Werner Herzog 181 quotes

I live my life outside of the...

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 181 quotes

I find it interesting that there are impostors out on the Internet pretending to be Werner Herzog.

Werner Herzog 181 quotes

We have to articulate ourselves. Otherwise we would be cows in the field.

Werner Herzog 181 quotes

People think we had a love-ha...

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 181 quotes

I have learned a lot through ...

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 181 quotes

You are confronted with abyss...

You are confronted with abysses of time that are, in a way, unfathomable. You see a painting in charcoal of raindeer and it was left unfinished and somebody else finished it. But through radio carbon dating we know that the next one completed the painting 5,000 years later. You're just blown away by the notion of passage of time. We have no relationship to that kind of depth of time.

Werner Herzog 181 quotes

I like and I love everything ...

I like and I love everything that has to do with cinema, writing, directing, editing, creating music, and even acting.

Werner Herzog 181 quotes

I went to volcanoes where I k...

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.

Werner Herzog 181 quotes

What would an ocean be withou...

What would an ocean be without a monster lurking in the dark? It would be like sleep without dreams.

Werner Herzog 181 quotes

Someone like Jean-Luc Godard ...

Someone like Jean-Luc Godard is for me intellectual counterfeit money when compared to a good kung fu film.

Werner Herzog 181 quotes

Life in the oceans must be sh...

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 181 quotes

I have never been one of thos...

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 181 quotes

Do you not then hear this horrible scream all around you that people usually call silence.

Werner Herzog 181 quotes

I love nature but against my better judgment.

You can fight a rumour only with an even wilder rumour.
