Werner Herzog Eats His Shoe (1980)
“That was funny, yet sad. Kind of like getting tit-fucked by a clown.”
"Captain Miserable"
“Like searching at midnight in a dark cellar for a black cat that isn’t there.”

“Like a bird on the wire,
like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free.”

Songs from a Room (1969)
“People like eccentrics and they will therefore leave me alone, saying that I am a "mad clown."”
As quoted in Vaslav Nijinsky : A Leap into Madness by Peter F. Ostwald, Ch. 8: Playing the Role of a Madman, p. 176
Unsourced variant: I know everyone will say "Nijinsky has gone mad," but I don’t care because I have already played the mad man at home. That is what everyone will think, but they won’t put me in an insane asylum because I dance very well and give money to anyone who asks. People like eccentrics, so they will leave me alone and say I’m a mad clown. I like the mentally ill because I know how to talk to them. When my brother was in an insane asylum, I loved him and he could feel me. His friends liked me. I was eighteen then. I understood the life of a mentally ill person.
