film north-korea ethiopia
Netflix knew I was going to North Korea and Ethiopia and Iceland. They saw the film and liked it and that was that.
interesting internet pretending
I find it interesting that there are impostors out on the Internet pretending to be Werner Herzog.
needs film
I have nothing against 3D films but I do not need to see them.
party red events
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.
thinking age quests
I think it is a quest of literature throughout the ages to describe the human condition.
war yoga thinking
I think there should be holy war against yoga classes.
maps underwear toothbrushes
I travel without barely any luggage. Just a second set of underwear and binoculars and a map and a toothbrush.
poet journalist
I'm not a journalist; I'm a poet.
dangerous
My crew [on "Fitzcarraldo" filming] actually said, "We have filmed it from outside on the rocks of the shore. We should be on board [the ship]," and I said it's dangerous, I only do it if you cinematographer Thomas Mauch and you actor [Klaus] Kinski decide on your own.
adventure men
I'm a very professional man. I'm not out for the experience of adventure.
memories civilization serious
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.
dream southern mountain
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.
harmonious knows universe
The universe is not harmonious: you know that by looking outside.
stupid film responsible
Clive [Oppenheimer] and I figured out that I'm the only one probably in the film industry who is clinically sane. I say that as a joke, but there's a grain of truth to it. I'm not a stupid daredevil who jumps into the crater of the volcano to get the closest close-up, I'm not one of those. And you have to be aware that you have a crew with you and you are responsible.
