Someone who is prepared to do the extra leg work and engage all the senses to fully perceive and experience life and get whole dynamic of the story , not just looking through one eye. Interesting top hear Herzog talk about being directed to "act" as himself, or not . I thank God for Herzog !

They rely on a continual self-infliction of hardship in order to stay alive as creative spirits -- and I can't say I blame them. I mean, what is there, really, to talk about when you're always warm and dry and sober? His opinion on film schools reminded me of a story I once heard about John Huston: He'd given a lecture on film structure at some major west coast film school. At the end when he'd opened it up to questions, a precocious young student stood up and summarized a rather simplistic, boilerplate version of everything Huston had been trying to teach them about storytelling. 1st act, 2nd act, climax, etc. "Is that a fair characterization of your views on storytelling, Mr. Huston?" the student asked. Huston leaned forward and smiled, "Son, you wanna know about storytelling? I suggest you get yourself down to Tijuana and f**k yourself some whores. Then maybe you can begin to understand storytelling." Of course, that kid is probably running a studio now. It seems that Herzog is among those artists who have a mortal fear of comfort.
