Extended interview: Werner Herzog

In this extended conversation with Turner Classic Movies host Ben Mankiewicz, Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Werner Herzog, heralded for such features as “Aguirre, the Wrath of God” and for documentaries like “Grizzly Man,” talks about his memoir, “Every Man for Himself and God Against All.” He discusses growing up in Germany and his fascination with America; his attraction to stories about visionaries; his collaborations with actor Klaus Kinski, and the difficulties he faced while shooting his epic “Fitzcarraldo”; and how he learned the craft of cinema from watching “very, very mediocre films.” "CBS Sunday Morning" features stories on the arts, music, nature, entertainment, sports, history, science and Americana, and highlights unique human accomplishments and achievements.
