There's no excuse to be bored. Sad, yes. Angry, yes. Depressed, yes. Crazy, yes. But there's no excuse for boredom, ever.

More quotes by Viggo Mortensen
Most movies are lucky to have one moment, one shot that you look at and you always remember that moment and that scene.
Viggo Mortensen
As Martin Luther King said, Passively to participate in an unjust system is to accept that system and to participate in its evil.
Viggo Mortensen
To be honest, I don't really care about any pope. It's not something I think about much, to be quite honest with you.
Viggo Mortensen
As you get older, you get stuck in your ways just as you become stiffer physically, you also become stiffer mentally and more narrow-minded unless you make a conscious effort to keep yourself flexible.
Viggo Mortensen
Some actors learn the habit of promoting themselves as a brand - by dressing in a certain way, by going out with a certain person - it gives them what they obviously want, which is to keep a level of fame. I'm not putting it down.
Viggo Mortensen
You know, real life doesn't just suddenly resolve itself. You have to keep working at it. Democracy, marriage, friendship. You can't just say she's my best friend. That's not a given, it's a process.
Viggo Mortensen
In a way, editing is not unlike the movies. The best books, just like the best movies, are a collaboration. They're only as good as the compromise made between the artists involved.
Viggo Mortensen
I played Lucifer once, which is sort of a difficult character to research. I thought to myself, We all have the potential to be selfish, to be cruel - at least to think evil thoughts, even if we don't ever act out on them. Even if we don't ever think we behave badly, we probably do more than we realize.
Viggo Mortensen
Adult characters are all the things they've encountered over time. But kids haven't accumulated all the life experience, all the regrets. They tend to be more in the moment, more willing to play, to be joyful.
Viggo Mortensen
I try to avoid conflict. I don't want people to be unhappy.
Viggo Mortensen
Because of the internet, satellite TV, and the digital world, you can stay in touch, you can learn about other people from a young age.
Viggo Mortensen
The only thing that I always do - is once I've taken on a job, even just to do one scene in a movie, I ask myself, What's happened the moment the kid was born, until page one of the script? To answer that simple question, I have an infinite amount of work to do. And I enjoy that part as much as I enjoy any part of making movies.
Viggo Mortensen
People are becoming more intimately acquainted with people who are different than them - it's not so unusual anymore.
Viggo Mortensen
Speaking more than one language and living in a multicultural family and environment did not seem like anything but what it was: the world I lived in.
Viggo Mortensen
More often than not, the experience of shooting the movie has been disappointing and the end product has been a mere shadow of what I hoped it would be. But immersing myself in the story - that's what I like best of all.
Viggo Mortensen
Photography, painting or poetry - those are just extensions of me, how I perceive things they are my way of communicating.
Viggo Mortensen
Every year I hear people complain that the quality of screenplays and movies is declining. In my opinion, the vast majority of scripts written - as well as most movies that are released - are not very original, well-written, or interesting. It has always been that way, and I think it always will be.
Viggo Mortensen
You can't really go back to where you came from. I don't think any of us can.
Viggo Mortensen
The first decade of your life is really important it's formative.
Viggo Mortensen
Being an actor, imitating to the point of inhabiting the lives of others, may simply be a way of continuing to do what I learned to do as a boy - to travel, mentally and physically.
