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
That is to say, Hillary Clinton is not, in my mind, a satisfying or calming alternative to Donald Trump.
Viggo Mortensen
I like a twisted sense of humour. On 'A History of Violence,' David Cronenberg and I would be doing the grimmest scenes and laugh a lot.
Viggo Mortensen
I like the detail work of telling a story in small pieces, as is done in movie-making, and also the long leap of faith needed to see a theatre performance through each night. Both require focus and self-discipline.
Viggo Mortensen
I'm just looking as always for something that's stimulating and I hope to find a good story that's a challenge, whether it's big or small. Or that it finds me. I don't have like a career plan. Maybe I should, but I don't.

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
You can't really go back to where you came from. I don't think any of us can.
Viggo Mortensen
In terms of the movie business, being in a 'Lord of the Rings' has given me more interesting options as work.
Viggo Mortensen
Can you join, ask sincerely for affection without sweaty hand of expectation, understanding and accepting if it never is given?
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
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
People like to pigeonhole you. It's easier.
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
I prefer the smaller acting than big histrionics. It's about reacting and looks, which is often underestimated.
Viggo Mortensen
I like naturally occurring film grain, and what happens to film when it's under- and over-exposed.
Viggo Mortensen
If you tell the story emotionally in a truthful way, then you start naturally looking at the landscape and thinking Wow, we have to watch out.
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
If in my twenties I'd gotten one of the two-dozen roles that I did screen tests for and almost got, I think I would have become bored with the awards circuit, the whole hype machine.
