I see planets that don't exist and landscapes that have only been dreamed.

Facts sometimes have a strange and bizarre power that makes their inherent truth seem unbelievable.

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.

When you look at any of my films you will immediately be able to tell this is a [Werner] Herzog film. Even if you didn't have any credits, in two minutes flat you would know.

I looked, for example, to certain types of literature to which I would like to refer, like The Peregrine by J. A. Baker, and I mention a book, "read this, read it, read it if you are serious of being in any type of art or into filmmaking," or films that I should quote as examples.

I was able to persuade them to let me shoot in areas that were beyond the volcano itself. Beyond the joint scientific program between Cambridge University and North Korean scientists. I was able to film in a kindergarten, subway, other things you would not normally be allowed to do.

If the part is really good of course I would like to do it.
