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
The Holocaust movie is almost a genre in itself these days.

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. We live as though there aren't enough hours in the day but if we do each thing calmly and carefully we will get it done quicker and with much less stress.
Viggo Mortensen
I don't speak up about something unless I feel strongly about it and until I've researched a subject extensively and have an informed decision about it.

I don't have a BlackBerry or whatever you call it. And there is something to be said for being isolated and out of phone range, because you can fall into a habit to such a degree that you don't even realise that you've lost something: silence.

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
In other words, I’m against cheating, greed, cruelty, racism, imperialism, religious fundamentalism, treason, and the seemingly limitless capacity for hypocrisy shown by Bush and his administration.
Viggo Mortensen
When people say that entertainers should know your place, they might as well say the same thing about plumbers and teachers and cab drivers. We all should be able to express our views.
Viggo Mortensen
You don't have to make something that people call art. Living is an artistic activity, there is an art to getting through the day.
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
There's no excuse to be bored. Sad, yes. Angry, yes. Depressed, yes. Crazy, yes. But there's no excuse for boredom, ever.
Viggo Mortensen
I have a roof over my head. I had a breakfast, and a lot of people in the world can't say that. I'm not going to complain about being interviewed.
Viggo Mortensen
I don't like the 'must', the 'always', and the 'never' words. I don't like 'no' either.
Viggo Mortensen
Nobody really knows anybody completely, even if they've been married to 'em for 53 years, you know?
Viggo Mortensen
It's just like with people. You're going to get along better working with them - human or equine - if you ask politely rather than demand that they do things.
Viggo Mortensen
In principle, I think the idea of rewarding a good effort is interesting, but movies are generally different from each other as are performances and the conditions on how the performances are given and how they're edited and so forth.
Viggo Mortensen
If you don't find some way to discuss what's going on inside you, it can come out in other ways that are self-destructive.
Viggo Mortensen
My goal is just to make movies, whether they're big or small, that I'd like to see 10 years from now.
Viggo Mortensen
I have no idea what 'method actor' means.
