Being Werner Herzog

Werner Herzog does not choose which films to make - they choose him. 'They come after me and I have no other choice but to do them,' says the famed German director. The proof is in his impressive filmography, which spans over 40 years, and includes recent works such as The Wild Blue Yonder, Grizzly Man and The White Diamond. If fact, Herzog has made four feature-length films in the last 14 months. 'Once I finish a film, all of a sudden there are five more lined up. It's like if you invite two guests for dinner and 50 crowd in - how do you get them out? I keep on pushing my films out the window and the door and through the basement entrance.'
