Everything you see in North Korea, it's all propaganda, but it's all connected to the volcano.

You have to realize that, about 20,000 years ago, there was a cataclysmic event when an entire rock face collapsed and sealed off the cave. It's a completely preserved time capsule. You've got tracks of cave bears that look like they were left yesterday, and you've got the footprint of a boy who was probably eight years old next to the footprint of a wolf.

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

North Korea has a very striking mythology there. It is influencing the whole nation.

Civilization is like a thin layer of ice upon a deep ocean of chaos and darkness.

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.

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.
