Werner Herzog

No, I'm only sane.

I saw a film which was scripted by artificial intelligence and the images made by artificial intelligence.

How was it?

Completely dead on arrival.

A stillborn baby.

There's no spark of life in it.

only mimicry of invention, only mimicry.

So I'm not worried.

There's no artificial intelligence that really would challenge me.

People are always puzzled by the scope of subjects of my films.

There's a world champion of ski flyers and nine films on death row.

And there's a film, Fitzcarraldo, a steamship over a mountain and opera in the jungle and on and on.

They think, yeah, it's a very separate sort of things.

No, it is not.

There's a clearly discernible worldview in all of it.

You see it even clearer in my books, and I always consider myself a writer.

Just a few days ago for a Korean animated film by the director who did Parasite.

A wonderful, very creative man, very good writer, and he wrote a screenplay for an animated film and invited me to be one of the characters.

So I did recordings for this character, and it is a deep-sea creature.

So I'm good as a deep-sea creature.
