How I met Werner Herzog
Herzog is one of my heroes, and so to contrive a way to meet him, I decided on a whim to pitch an article about him and his new film “The Wild Blue Yonder” to a magazine. To my surprise, they bought the pitch and paid for my visit to his house in Los Angeles, where Herzog made me hot tea and talked to me for an hour and a half. Not a bad way to meet your idol… I should try this with other people I want to meet!
Oh, and Erik Benson is right: “The Wild Blue Yonder” is an amazing film.
