“If I had to live my life again, I'd be a filmmaker.”
What this quote means
Herzog expresses a deep certainty: cinema is his vocation, his reason for being. This statement is not mere regret or wish, but an affirmation of what gives meaning to his life. It invites us to reflect on our own path: if we could start over, what would we choose? It underscores the importance of following one's passion, even if demanding. For those who doubt, it's an encouragement to listen to their inner voice.
