I can't imagine the world without Herzog now that I've seen/heard and thought about his subjects, approach to story-telling, raw humor and extraordinary sensitivity....He's a gem of creative exposition. His books are a knock-out, wonderfully crazy PROSE!

This man is my spirit animal.

Well, this whole conversation was a "consolation" for me. Thank you! "Only the shallow know themselves." Loved that one. Plus, the "win if you can, lose if you must, but always cheat."

[@AnnaLVajda]

So he's unethical? He is a villain filmmaker?

It`s been six years but if you like the last quote you would love the song by Kenny Rogers- The gambler

[@marianneotott3071]

I enjoy every Moment with Werner Herzog! He is the best story Teller r of the World. Thank You!

If there’s anyone who a savvy interviewer shouldn’t interrupt it’s Mr. Herzog.

[@christophersurnname9967]

He’s a savvy interrupter

[@usamalali4100]

Hate how the interviewer keeps interrupting Herzog. Herzog is someone you listen to in awe and wish he never stops talking when he is speaking.

[@redking5788]

He works off that. Don't think he doesn't plan for the interuptions, he needs them

[@a1monkey13]

Top man.

[@aspensong]

a real soul opener

Ut conclave sine libris, ita corpus sine anima.

[@RolandRED]

Lots of inappropriate laughter from the audience, I thought. His story about the prison pastor and the squirrel,for example, is actually quite touching. This audience treats it like a punchline.

[@11Kralle]

There's no such thing as "inappropriate laughter" - it's a reaction and a sign of individual culture.

[@J0hnC0ltrane]

The interviewer doesn't really get the message that Werner Herzog presents. Werner speaks in a stream of consciousness. A person with these wide ranging ideas and life experience "contains multitudes."

Anyone knows what happened to Herzog s film project about the Mexican Conquest?

[@musicman4635]

Aguirre Wrath of God? Spanish conquistadors?? Never any Mexican Conquest.....

[@hans1187]

The one he was planing with Coppola? I think it was cancelled because no studio would ever give them the money.

[@benjaminfloyd3112]

That interviewer is such an insufferable plebeian.

[@28105wsking]

Such a German! 100% LOL!

[@lurchileb]

I have to tell you, he himself says, he is not German, but Bavarian. He makes this difference

perspexed?

[@HowToAcademyMindset]

Well Spotted. Thanks!

FFS why don´t you discuss his amazing movies? A total waste of time. An interview with a cleaning lady at the Savoy would be more interesting and probably would get more views aswell.
