I make films because I have not learned anything else and I know I can do it to a certain degree. And it is my duty because this might be the inner chronicle of what we are. We have to articulate ourselves, otherwise we would be cows in the field.

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.

You should bear in mind that almost all my documentaries are feature films in disguise.

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

Otherwise you have to repeat a lot when you're filming. And I've seen the film and it's in a border town in Mexico close to the border with the United States, so of course you have a lot of traffic and noise and dogs barking right nearby, and for that you have to repeat a lot and Robert Rodriguez didn't do that. Smart, smart, smart, you better have smarts also.

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

It doesn't matter whether you shoot on celluloid or on digital, you better make a good film.
