Someone like Jean-Luc Godard is for me intellectual counterfeit money when compared to a good kung fu film. - Werner Herzog

Every man should pull a boat over a mountain once in his life.

I said that this must not be, not at this time, German cinema could not do without her now, we would not permit her death.
One solitary, overriding thought: get away from here. People frighten me. Our Eisner mustn't die, she will not die, I won't permit it. She is not dying now because she isn't dying. Not now, no, she is not allowed to. My steps are firm. And now the earth trembles. When I move, a buffalo moves. When I rest, a mountain reposes. She wouldn't dare! She mustn't. She won't. When I'm in Paris she will be alive. She must not die. Later, perhaps, when we allow it.
