One thing I love about Herzog is that he seeks things out through experimentation. I believe that his films exist in large part as questions, where the answers are our own:

    The soul of the listener or the spectator completes this act itself; the soul actualizes truth through the experience of sublimity: that is, it completes an independent act of creation.

It's difficult to find someone that is so interested in breaking things open and having a look. He also has a sense of wonder, and a sense of humor.
