More quotes by 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
Photography, painting or poetry - those are just extensions of me, how I perceive things they are my way of communicating.
Viggo Mortensen
Most movies are lucky to have one moment, one shot that you look at and you always remember that moment and that scene.
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
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
You have a moral obligation to finish the job you said you would do.
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
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
We often live in the past a lot more than we probably realize.
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
I'm optimistic about people and about the planet and about nature. I think it's resilient, like people are.
Viggo Mortensen
People will like to say that 'Eastern Promises' is brutal, but the only reason they say that is because the scenes stick with them. They are realistic. They are in-your-face and you see the consequences. It's not a bunch of quick editing cuts.
Viggo Mortensen
I have a multicultural background, so I tend to have an open mind about things, and I find other cultures interesting.
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
I met Cindy [Sheehan] near Crawford, Texas. I went out to personally thank her for waiting patiently by the road in front of George and Laura Bush's ranch for an answer from her President as to why and for what her son and others had been sacrificed in the unlawful invasion and occupation of Iraq.
Viggo Mortensen
Can you join, ask sincerely for affection without sweaty hand of expectation, understanding and accepting if it never is given?
Viggo Mortensen
I think every family is dysfunctional, and some manage to control it better than others.
Viggo Mortensen
Even the implication that The Lord of the Rings is a mythic story about Western, white supremacy - regardless of the political leanings of anyone who tries to make that case - is a load of self-justifying, destructive horseshit.
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
My job as an artist, as I see it, is to understand and in some cases to take on various ways of thinking about people and the world that are different from my own, sometimes radically different.
