More quotes by Viggo Mortensen
You should always do the things in life that are both interesting and make you afraid.
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.
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
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
As you get older, you get stuck in your ways just as you become stiffer physically, you also become stiffer mentally and more narrow-minded unless you make a conscious effort to keep yourself flexible.
Viggo Mortensen
I'm not that involved in personal grooming. But I try not to be offensive to people.
Viggo Mortensen
I've never played a Dane in a movie. I've had offers to be in Danish movies, including for some good directors, but I either had a job at the time or, when I was available, the movie just didn't happen. Hopefully someday I'll do one.
Viggo Mortensen
Yes, I would agree that America, just like Spain was in the 17th Century, is the main empire of the world and they are the ones who, on the surface, are the most pushy: pushing their language, pushing their culture - or what there is of it - pushing by force their system on others.
Viggo Mortensen
A little recognition is not a bad thing because it means people appreciate your work. The only problem is when you can't walk down the street or have a meal without people looking at you. I want to be the one looking at people.
Viggo Mortensen
Saying you are a patriot does not make you one wearing a flag pin does not in itself mean anything at all.
Viggo Mortensen
I don't think Adam Sandler or Will Ferrell fear competition from me in their arena.
Viggo Mortensen
Can you join, ask sincerely for affection without sweaty hand of expectation, understanding and accepting if it never is given?
Viggo Mortensen
Some people who like dogs don't like cats, but I'm not like that.
Viggo Mortensen
You can't really go back to where you came from. I don't think any of us can.
Viggo Mortensen
There are people that grandstand and seem to be publicly politically engaged because they like the attention, more than because they're genuinely concerned about the world. But I don't think that's the majority.
Viggo Mortensen
I really enjoyed working with New Zealanders as crew members, as teammates. They're great, and it's a beautiful country. It's one of the most beautiful places I've ever been, and I've traveled quite a bit.
Viggo Mortensen
There's no sense in doing something, especially if it's a hard job, if you can't have a little fun.
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
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
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
