It wouldn’t fly. There are projects out there you do not solve with cash money, or with a big studio backing you up. You do not move mountains with money. You move mountains with faith.

Werner Herzog, when Henry Rollins asked him if he could have made Fitzcarraldo in Hollywood today without CGI.

The full interview is amazing.1 I love how Herzog is able to speak from the heart, but without any of the usual vagaries or bullshit that artists spew. Dude aint’ frontin’.

  1. I didn’t realize until later that this was THE Henry Rollins (of Black Flag) so I had my mind blown twice by this interview. Score. ↩
