More quotes by Viggo Mortensen
You have a moral obligation to finish the job you said you would do.
Viggo Mortensen
Be kind. It's worthwhile to make an effort to learn about other people and figure out what you might have in common with them. If you allow yourself to be somewhat curious - and if you get into the habit of doing that - it's the first step to being open minded and realizing that your points of view aren't totally opposite.
Viggo Mortensen
On a practical level, poetry isn't something anybody has really made a great living at. I might sell some books and, once in a while, someone might pay to hear me read.
Viggo Mortensen
I don't think special attention should be given to an actor or a singer or a baseball player or a soccer player more than anyone else, but they do have an opinion like anyone else.
Viggo Mortensen
I suppose a good director is like a teacher. I think that someone like David Cronenberg was very much like a teacher, because there's an openness, but a certain set of rules of behavior, and a certain conduct expected. But there's an atmosphere that's relaxed and conducive to exploration, and that is created by someone like Cronenberg.
Viggo Mortensen
Jung viewed Freud as a mentor, but he never wanted to be anybody's disciple.
Viggo Mortensen
I love rehearsing, but a lot of directors don't, and some actors don't.
Viggo Mortensen
It's amazing to me that Glenn Beck can be on the cover of 'Time,' and there can be a whole article about him basically saying, 'Well, you know, he's controversial.' It's like, 'No, he's a dangerous idiot who needs the help of a good psychiatrist!'
Viggo Mortensen
Joseph Campbell said the privilege of a lifetime is being yourself. That's his feeling. And I guess it's mine too.
Viggo Mortensen
If you tell the story emotionally in a truthful way, then you start naturally looking at the landscape and thinking Wow, we have to watch out.
Viggo Mortensen
The Black Lives Matter movement, the various Occupy movements in Spain and the rest of Europe, in this country, and elsewhere serve as an example of what can be done, and how strong the voices for positive change and truly democratic progress can be.
Viggo Mortensen
There might be people out there who wouldn't hire me because they thought I should keep my mouth shut, but I'm not aware of that. Even if I saw evidence of that, it wouldn't really concern me.
Viggo Mortensen
I'm not a great fan of monarchy in general, but I have to say the Danish monarchy is closer to the people it's not as stuffy as the English one.
Viggo Mortensen
Sometimes you look at a movie and you can see that the actor or actress said, 'I'm taking this onboard because I'm making a ton of money, and not because it's going to be something special.'
Viggo Mortensen
For 'Hidalgo,' I just spent as much time around horses as I could, which made sense.
Viggo Mortensen
To strive for something better - at least there's a chance.
Viggo Mortensen
I'm not that involved in personal grooming. But I try not to be offensive to people.
Viggo Mortensen
Can you join, ask sincerely for affection without sweaty hand of expectation, understanding and accepting if it never is given?
Viggo Mortensen
I'm an optimist I always hope that each new script is going to be a great story.
Viggo Mortensen
I've never been conscious of having any real career plan, and I do not have a wish-list of actors, directors, screenwriters, or cameramen I'm hoping to work with. Life, I feel, has a way of leading us to the right situations and people, or at least to interesting ones.
