I never have searched for a subject. They always just come along. They never come by way of decision-making. They just haunt me. I can't get rid of them. I did not invite them.
From Werner Herzog
Civilization is like a thin layer of ice upon a deep ocean of chaos and darkness.
You should bear in mind that almost all my documentaries are feature films in disguise.
Perhaps I seek certain utopian things, space for human honour and respect, landscapes not yet offended, planets that do not exist yet, dreamed landscapes.
I'm simply not afraid. It's not in my dictionary of behaviour.
I think there are specific times where film noir is a natural concomitant of the mood. When there's insecurity, collapse of financial systems - that's where film noir always hits fertile ground.
