More quotes by Viggo Mortensen
When I was a little boy, I rode, but I didn't own horses.
Viggo Mortensen
Any nominations a movie gets helps to raise the level of curiosity in the public, so in that sense awards and nominations are important.
Viggo Mortensen
Toronto Film Festival is one of those festivals where there are 400 movies, and unless you have a distributor who is super confident and puts a lot of money into it, sometimes movies can go unwatched or unnoticed.
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 think that people who get to a certain position, and then try to ferociously defend it or build on it, it's kind of a dead-end street. You see people becoming miserable that way.
Viggo Mortensen
Speaking more than one language and living in a multicultural family and environment did not seem like anything but what it was: the world I lived in.
Viggo Mortensen
Perhaps the itinerant upbringing my brothers and I had has something to do with my continued interest in perspectives different from my own.
Viggo Mortensen
As a kid I read Jules Verne, H. G. Wells, and a few others. As an adult have admired Leonardo da Vinci's drawings and notebooks.
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'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.
Viggo Mortensen
I have to say that I think Bernie Sanders is the first politician since Dennis Kucinich that I've been truly inspired by. Where you actually are truly speaking truth to power, in a legitimate way and in an unpretentious and very straightforward way.
Viggo Mortensen
You see people on the street yelling and think they're crazy, but maybe they're just happy and expressing what they feel at all times.
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
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
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 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
The Holocaust movie is almost a genre in itself these days.
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.
Viggo Mortensen
I'm certainly curious about people. As a kid, I moved around a lot. I was raised in a lot of different places, and thanks to working in the movies, I've gotten to keep traveling. I've always been interested in other cultures and languages.
Viggo Mortensen
I hate divers, like Cristiano Ronaldo, who might be the greatest athlete in the sport, but he's a big baby. If things are going well he's great, but when things are going badly it's the ref's fault, it's his teammates' fault.
