Caprice
Herzog’s comment on football (during the Treatment interview) that grabbed me:
There’s a third element. And that’s the ball. The ball is not round. It has, as the French would say, it has its caprice once it bounces and it gets loose. So, how do you contain the caprice of the ball better than the other team?

Werner Herzog is the Most Interesting Man in the World
Filmmaker Werner Herzog recently appeared on KCRW’s The Treatment podcast and talked about his preference for casting animals in main acting roles, about the capricious allure of American football, about conquering fear, about his Spanish opera, about traveling to Southern Ethiopia to film a musical, about getting shot during an interview and being the only guy who didn’t want to call it off.

Today my car is stolen from the driveway. I am not surprised.
If you’ve ever seen a Herzog film, you’ll probably laugh. Probably.
