More quotes by Viggo Mortensen
What art does is it makes you feel alive and makes you feel like you're connected.
Viggo Mortensen
I have a work ethic. If I say I'm going to do something, I do 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
As Aragorn said at Helm's Deep, There is always hope.
Viggo Mortensen
You know, real life doesn't just suddenly resolve itself. You have to keep working at it.
Viggo Mortensen
I'm not afraid of death, but I resent it. I think it's unfair and irritating. Every time I see something beautiful, I not only want to return to it, but it makes me want to see other beautiful things. I know I'm not going to get to all the places I want to go.
Viggo Mortensen
I don't have a BlackBerry or whatever you call it. And there is something to be said for being isolated and out of phone range, because you can fall into a habit to such a degree that you don't even realise that you've lost something: silence.
Viggo Mortensen
I have never been in a natural place and felt that it was a waste of time. I never have. And it's a relief. If I'm walking around a desert or whatever, every second is worthwhile.
Viggo Mortensen
In the end, the actor's main power is the power to say, 'No.'
Viggo Mortensen
I was raised in Argentina until I was 11 and now I go back there a lot, at least twice a year. It's a country where I feel very comfortable and it represents an important period in my life.
Viggo Mortensen
The money I earn from films means I can help the people I want to help - you can do a lot of good if you want to.
Viggo Mortensen
Some people who like dogs don't like cats, but I'm not like that.
Viggo Mortensen
Speaking more than one language and living in a multicultural family and environment did not seem like anything but what it was: the world I lived in.
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.
Viggo Mortensen
When there is conflict, it's good to step away, even for five minutes, because you could say terrible things that you can't take back, so it's best to walk away.
Viggo Mortensen
I would literally climb out of the cradle while my parents slept, go and crawl off. I did this a couple of times apparently. I'd cross the road and into someone's house, wake them up banging pots and pans in the kitchen.
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
Pinochet and Barack Obama both have the same primary goal, and that's to be president and stay president as long as allowed.
Viggo Mortensen
I mean, any movie or story that makes you accept and be grateful for something about your life is doing something right.
Viggo Mortensen
I try to avoid conflict. I don't want people to be unhappy.
