Viggo Mortensen
I trust Hillary Clinton about as far as I could throw Donald Trump.
Viggo Mortensen
I think, on a surface level, people are surprised to see me playing such a passive role in 'Good.'
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
Awards for arts, where you make comparisons, don't make much sense.

In terms of the movie business, being in a 'Lord of the Rings' has given me more interesting options as work.
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
I've been naked physically in movies - but it's a whole other thing to be naked emotionally in a way that's not just a distraction or a character.
Viggo Mortensen
I have friends who I get along with who I know get very uncomfortable being alone, unless they're with people, talking all the time. Whether it's on the phone, or in person, they're never by themselves. Whereas I could be alone for months.
