In a movie, you're raw material, just a hue of some color and the director makes the painting.
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
You know, real life doesn't just suddenly resolve itself. You have to keep working at it.
Viggo Mortensen
I now realize that I was very fortunate to have grown up in many different places, surrounded by all kinds of people, all kinds of points of view.
Viggo Mortensen
At the end of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century in Austria, there was a lot of anti-Semitism. Anti-Semitism in Austria was much more pervasive than in Germany. And Austrians took to Nazi ideas and anti-Semitism much more readily than Germans did, really.
Viggo Mortensen
I was raised in Argentina until I was 11 and now I go back there a lot, at least twice a year. It's a country where I feel very comfortable and it represents an important period in my life.
Viggo Mortensen
It's easy to get depressed and think, Well, what's the point? But it's the same as, Well, we're all going to die, so what's the point in brushing my teeth or even saying hello to anyone or obeying traffic lights. You can do that, but that's certainly not going to take you anywhere.
Viggo Mortensen
People are becoming more intimately acquainted with people who are different than them - it's not so unusual anymore.
Viggo Mortensen
America is an empire in decay. But we don't have to lash out and do damage on the way down. We can reverse some of the damage we've done. It's possible.
Viggo Mortensen
A lot of times, movies that are in the top 10 lists or maybe even win Baftas or Oscars, you then watch them a year later and you go, 'Maybe it wasn't so great.'
Viggo Mortensen
It's very rare you get a great script just handed to you, or sent to you, by someone you don't know.
Viggo Mortensen
I have a publishing company of books by me and books of others. It drew people to poetry readings and photo exhibitions and painting exhibitions that I've been doing for years before that.
Viggo Mortensen
I like naturally occurring film grain, and what happens to film when it's under- and over-exposed.
Viggo Mortensen
When I heard Puerto Ricans in New York City, it sounded very strange. And the first time I heard someone from Spain, I thought they had a speech impediment!
Viggo Mortensen
In terms of the movie business, being in a 'Lord of the Rings' has given me more interesting options as work.
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
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
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
Pinochet and Barack Obama both have the same primary goal, and that's to be president and stay president as long as allowed.
Viggo Mortensen
Like most people I can be lazy, so it's nice to have a goal or deadline or reason to work out. I feel better when I get to exercise, or when I'm outdoors. I like to hike, swim and run, and I love to play soccer.
