More quotes by Viggo Mortensen
Kids accept where they are because they don't know the past. They know what they have they know where they are.
Viggo Mortensen
I think if you don't say something it's lying by omission. I personally think it's immoral.
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
For 'Hidalgo,' I just spent as much time around horses as I could, which made sense.
Viggo Mortensen
As far as money goes, there's a saying in Denmark: 'Your last suit doesn't have any pockets.' You can't take it with you. You can make all the money you want, but who cares?
Viggo Mortensen
I pursue the things I do because I'm interested in them.
Viggo Mortensen
Sometimes you look at a movie and you can see that the actor or actress said, 'I'm taking this onboard because I'm making a ton of money, and not because it's going to be something special.'
Viggo Mortensen
I'm sort of contrary and stubborn sometimes. When everybody says, 'You have to read this book! You have to read this book!' I'm like 'Oh, I'll get around to it.'
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
It doesn't take that many years for a kid to realise that they're going to die. It's always there in the back of their mind the rest of their lives.
Viggo Mortensen
When I land in a country and they ask for 'occupation,' I always just put 'artist.' I think that covers all of it.
Viggo Mortensen
I like naturally occurring film grain, and what happens to film when it's under- and over-exposed.
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
The only thing that I always do - is once I've taken on a job, even just to do one scene in a movie, I ask myself, What's happened the moment the kid was born, until page one of the script? To answer that simple question, I have an infinite amount of work to do. And I enjoy that part as much as I enjoy any part of making movies.
Viggo Mortensen
Nobody really knows anybody completely, even if they've been married to 'em for 53 years, you know?
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
Looking at acting, in the movies or the theater, and the way I like to look at it, it’s just an extension of childhood play… Kids play and imagine in a very intense fashion and they don’t need any director telling them “You really have to believe in it.” They believe in it completely.
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
I think the older you get the harder it is to [lose] probably. Your metabolism slows down, whatever, but I'm a pretty active person.
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.
