So Much Fun

The disaster of Nazism, he said, informs his brooding world view. “I try to understand the ocean beneath the thin layer of ice that is civilization,” he said. “There’s miles and miles of deep ocean, of darkness and barbarism. And I know the ice can break easily.”

I got this. It's Werner Herzog.

Great quote, too.

You should read HERZOG ON HERZOG. The candor and humor (as well as great filmmaking thoughts/philosophies) make it a kick-ass must.

Also, one time at a Q&A someone once asked him about his re-enactments for his documentaries, and Herzog reportedly cut the man off and said that he doesn't do re-enactments, but rather, "enactments." I love that guy.
