Cinema Quote by Werner Herzog

“My non-fiction films are pretty much fiction, or at least close... It's all "movies" for me. 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.” quote by Werner Herzog — Download Open image
