Werner Herzog

It has a strange ability to rejuvenate itself sometimes.

to start again, to recalibrate itself so you don't have to complain about what is happening.

It is a consequence of many things that people in particular East Coast, West Coast have overlooked and that's a hard land, the hard land of America.

And their values and the fact that they're underrepresented, undereducated, underpaid, disenfranchised to some degree.

This is serious.

And I love the heartland of America much more than the fringes the fringes are.

Boston, New York.

I like New York.

It's an incredible city, and I like that it forces you to a certain rhythm, speed, and energy.

I also am not completely against the hostility of New York.

It's okay.

It's challenging.

You really are whipped into doing something

Los Angeles is the city with the most substance in the United States.

The most substance, you said?

Yes.

In what way?

First and foremost, cultural substance.

But don't forget that there's a huge amount of industry there.

When you fly into Los Angeles, you see all these industrial areas, flat roofs, gigantic factories, buildings.
