Viggo Mortensen
I prefer the smaller acting than big histrionics. It's about reacting and looks, which is often underestimated.
Viggo Mortensen
A lot of people can forget about you in Los Angeles.
Viggo Mortensen
I've never had a problem with people paying attention to what you're doing and say they find that they liked it.
Viggo Mortensen
One of the most effective tools that the Cheney-Bush junta has used to marginalize dissenting or even mildly inquisitive American citizens has been the accusation of being unpatriotic.
Viggo Mortensen
If you're not optimistic on some level, then you've given up.
Viggo Mortensen
It's always interesting to play a character that obviously has a secret.
Viggo Mortensen
You know, Freud accepted his lot very stoically and very well and with a sense of humor. He aged and died gracefully, and there's a lot to be said for that.
Viggo Mortensen
People like to pigeonhole you. It's easier.
Viggo Mortensen
This basic thing I always do: 'What happened between the character's birth, and page one of the script?' Anything that's not in the story, I'll fill in the blanks.
