I've been lucky to learn by playing all kinds of roles and watching all kinds of really good cinematographers, actors, and directors for many years before people were even aware of me in terms of audience.

One of the best pieces of advice I ever got was from a horse master. He told me to go slow to go fast. I think that applies to everything in life.

I want to see what the Green Party looks like. I think if people don't start voting what they feel, if that's something other than the Democratic Party or the Republican Party, then nothing's going to change. You need more political parties that actually have a chance.

In a lot of ways, I envy someone like Omar Sharif who lived in a hotel for decades.
Viggo Mortensen
In the end, the actor's main power is the power to say, 'No.'

Some people who like dogs don't like cats, but I'm not like that.

When you're under stress as a human being, you behave oddly and your relationships with people become strained.
Viggo Mortensen
With few exceptions, one ought always do what one is afraid of.

If you daren't enter the forest, or cannot find it, then perhaps you might find one tree, or a place where a tree could be, and just stop for a quiet moment to see what happens.
Viggo Mortensen
It's almost a standard tactic, really, to try to minimize any effort that people in the entertainment business or in any public occupation make to express themselves.
