More quotes by Viggo Mortensen
It's always interesting to play a character that obviously has a secret.
Viggo Mortensen
I don't like the 'must', the 'always', and the 'never' words. I don't like 'no' either.
Viggo Mortensen
When you're under stress as a human being, you behave oddly and your relationships with people become strained.
Viggo Mortensen
I love rehearsing, but a lot of directors don't, and some actors don't.

I grew up with horses when I was a kid in Argentina. I like them. I respect them. I'm careful around them. You never know what they're going to do. They're endlessly interesting. I've had some good acting partners that were horses over the years.

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
I think that every person has many, many people inside of them. We change our personality depending on who we are talking to or what situation we are in.
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
We often live in the past a lot more than we probably realize.
Viggo Mortensen
In a lot of places in the United States and certainly even more places around the world, the image of the cowboy has become, for some people, a negative one. The word 'cowboy' implies a strong, stubborn individual whose individualism depends on pulling down other people's individualism.
Viggo Mortensen
I know I said I wanted to live forever and I would never be bored, but the reality is, it's probably kind of sad to live forever if you're the only one sticking around.
Viggo Mortensen
In a lot of ways, I envy someone like Omar Sharif who lived in a hotel for decades.
Viggo Mortensen
Here's where we are, this is what's happening. So do something, or get out of the kitchen.
Viggo Mortensen
Life is short and the older you get, the more you feel it. Indeed, the shorter it is.
Viggo Mortensen
I think if you don't say something it's lying by omission. I personally think it's immoral.
Viggo Mortensen
You know, real life doesn't just suddenly resolve itself. You have to keep working at it.
Viggo Mortensen
Can you join, ask sincerely for affection without sweaty hand of expectation, understanding and accepting if it never is given?
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
Freud was the son of a Jewish merchant who had to move his whole family to Vienna because he couldn't get work. He, as a boy, had to watch his father be mocked and abused on the street for being Jewish... You develop a thick skin and you develop a certain kind of wit to defend yourself.
Viggo Mortensen
I try to research or make up for myself what happened in any character's life. From when he was born until the first page of the script. I fill in the blanks.
