Film is not analysis, it is the agitation of mind; cinema comes from the country fair and the circus, not from art and academicism. - Werner Herzog

Well they are very frightening for me because their stupidity is so flat. You look into the eyes of a chicken and you lose yourself in a completely flat, frightening stupidity. They are like a great metaphor for me... I kind of love chicken, but they frighten me more than any other animal.

There are dignified stupidities, and there are heroic stupidities, and there is such a thing as stupid stupidities, and that would be a stupid stupidity not to have a camera on board.

Do you not then hear this horrible scream all around you that people usually call silence.
