Werner Herzog Isn't The 'Wild Guy' You Think He Is

People think, yeah, I'm the wild guy out there. And so, no, I'm a disciplined professional. And at that time, family, of course, was important because we grew up with our mother who raised us. We were three brothers and one mother. We lived in one single room in a sort of pension, we called it. It's a boarding house building.

And of course we had clashes like brothers would have and until today it's mysterious to foreigners. Not long ago, a few years ago, I visited my older brother in Spain. where he had built himself a big house and he had a wonderful sailing boat. And we were at a fish restaurant and I studied the menu and he put his arm around my shoulder.

And all of a sudden I feel some stinging thing in my back and I smell smoke. And I realize he has set my shirt on fire with his cigarette lighter. Wow. And we laughed so hard and everybody around on the table was appalled. But sometimes that's how brothers sometimes function. And I love him dearly and we do mischievous things to each other. It does happen and it's not that serious.

No, it was hilarious. Come on, a shirt doesn't really burn. I mean, it glows and glimmers a little bit, but that was his joke.

Well, that's my profession. That's my profession as a poet. And you look deep into who we are and you describe it. But you shouldn't make the mistake to believe that memoirs are confessional. I'm not into that business and I never liked too deep introspection. There's enough in my memoirs. There's enough introspection. There's no doubt it's in there, but to a certain limit.

It's good to forget them. It's good to bury them. Not in all cases, but in most cases. So psychoanalysis is doing that. I do not deny that it is good and necessary in a very few cases.
