More quotes by Viggo Mortensen
I grew up with horses when I was a kid in Argentina. I like them. I respect them. I'm careful around them. You never know what they're going to do. They're endlessly interesting. I've had some good acting partners that were horses over the years.

Life is short and the older you get, the more you feel it. Indeed, the shorter it is. People lose their capacity to walk, run, travel, think, and experience life. I realise how important it is to use the time I have.
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.
Viggo Mortensen
For 'Hidalgo,' I just spent as much time around horses as I could, which made sense.

America is an empire in decay. But we don't have to lash out and do damage on the way down. We can reverse some of the damage we've done. It's possible.
Viggo Mortensen
I played Lucifer once, which is sort of a difficult character to research. I thought to myself, We all have the potential to be selfish, to be cruel - at least to think evil thoughts, even if we don't ever act out on them. Even if we don't ever think we behave badly, we probably do more than we realize.
Viggo Mortensen
I think we're on the wrong path in this country and have been for a while. People are in their camps divided by region, economic situation, race, religion, ideology. And there's a lot of just staying in your camp using technology to bolster your case without actually debating with other people, without discussing.
Viggo Mortensen
As [John] Tolkien himself said, the story [Lord of the Ring ] is not allegorical. He said so when people tried to make analogies to World War II and the fight against Hitler and his fascist coalition.
Viggo Mortensen
I trust Hillary Clinton about as far as I could throw Donald Trump.
Viggo Mortensen
With any character I have played there’s infinite possibilities for how they might behave, depending on who they are talking to or how they react to things.
Viggo Mortensen
I've been lucky to learn by playing all kinds of roles and watching all kinds of really good cinematographers, actors, and directors for many years before people were even aware of me in terms of audience.

You know, 'Viggo' is a pretty dorky name in Denmark. It's like 'Oswald' or something. It's a very old Scandinavian name, at least 1,000 years old.
Viggo Mortensen
Can you join, ask sincerely for affection without sweaty hand of expectation, understanding and accepting if it never is given?
Viggo Mortensen
Having a mixed background and feeling a little bit like a fish out of water in most places can be a benefit.
Viggo Mortensen
It's hard not to get depressed when you pay attention to the world and how strangely and corrupt the people in it sometimes behave.
Viggo Mortensen
I now realize that I was very fortunate to have grown up in many different places, surrounded by all kinds of people, all kinds of points of view.
