Werner was really scary in Jack Reacher, even knowing who it was. I bet he was carrying bolt cutters in his back pocket the whole time.

"If you wanna know something but the manager won\’t tell you, cut off a finger… the little one. Then tell him the thumbs next. After that he\’ll tell you if he wears ladies underwear. …. I\’m hungry. Let\’s get a taco."

"Guerrilla tactics" sounds like a brave and creative choice, until a "Midnight Rider" situation comes along.

Herzog was shot with an air gun during an interview, but he wanted to continue saying: "its an insignificant wound."

he is a genius and a criminal.
i read his lines like "There is nothing wrong with spending a night in jail if it means getting the shot you need", "Carry bolt cutters everywhere\’ and "Guerrilla tactics are best" as i read about another person being killed while working on live RR tracks and think about the people working under horrible conditions who died (actor and several crew) so Fitzcarraldo could be completed.
i believe Hertzog himself called it a "Conquest of the Useless" … sounds about right

They are good to have if the PA looses the key to the lock on the back of production/art/grip/electric truck. Plus sometimes you just need bolt cutters.

Why revenge? That\’s stupid. If your action is to teach a lesson and makes the offender wiser and more compassionate, it\’s not revenge. If it it hurts the person, onky, it hurts the world, and you are just a hioligan and a sabateur and immature and dangerous.

He\’s not speaking of literal bolt cuttes, learn to read between the lines.
He\’s saying don\’t let anything stop you on your journey through life. Losers give up and go home when they hit a wall, winners go over or through the wall (or build a door/ladder and charge others to use it)

yeah hey destroy private property, trespass and what spend one night in jail? Of course, bolt cutters alone would get a burglary charge and that means more than a single night in jail plus how much in court costs, fines, attorney fees, house arrest, etc. Sounds like advice to be cute and pretend

Ma\’ favorite:
"9. Carry bolt cutters everywhere." Because "Private Property" signs are mere suggestions.

The bolt cutter are as a similie. You are born, you die, and in between you scythe meaninglessly with useless tools in the false hope of a glimmer of meaning.

I like #20. I didn\’t fail mine, but I get frustrated by those who can\’t think beyond the "rules."

The bolt cutters are obviously a reference to Grizzly Man, Timmy Treadwell. You never knoe when youre going to need to give yourself a haircut with no mirror around.
