Werner Herzog

Today you can make a documentary that is cinema quality for under $10,000, a one-and-a-half-hour film.

Work as an Uber driver, work in a lunatic asylum, work as a bouncer in a sex club.

That's what I always recommend.

In Mexico, yeah, yeah, well, I earned money because I had to survive.

Yes, but I made my money really old-fashioned way.

I really earned it.

Where do you think that culture of complaint, where do you think that comes from?

It probably has wide sources, broad sources.

In the West, I see an educational system that immediately rewards you for everything.

Ah, great job.

And it can be a lousy sketch, lousier than anyone in class.

And you have to be praised for it.

There's no way to tell a kid, well, this wasn't really good work, but I know you can do better.

And why don't you work on this?

Bring it to me tomorrow.

All of a sudden, you have a good one.

It's a philosophy behind education.

And the philosophies make the children happy instead of making them strong.

Just for God's sake, make them strong guys, strong young women.

And they will like it.
