At the end of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century in Austria, there was a lot of anti-Semitism. Anti-Semitism in Austria was much more pervasive than in Germany. And Austrians took to Nazi ideas and anti-Semitism much more readily than Germans did, really.

If there's one thing I've learned from traveling, it's that it is definitely more important how you are than where you are. You can say, 'Oh, I hate X city, I hate that country, or I prefer this city,' but it's a little bit up to you to find some kind of happiness.
Viggo Mortensen
My goal is just to make movies, whether they're big or small, that I'd like to see 10 years from now.
Viggo Mortensen
When I was a little boy, I rode, but I didn't own horses.
Viggo Mortensen
In a movie, you're raw material, just a hue of some color and the director makes the painting.
Viggo Mortensen
I'm very comfortable in Argentina. I was raised there as a baby and stayed there until I was 11 years old, so the first decade of my life or my formative years were spent in Argentina. I stayed in tune with the food, music and language.
Viggo Mortensen
Some people who like dogs don't like cats, but I'm not like that.
Viggo Mortensen
People are becoming more intimately acquainted with people who are different than them - it's not so unusual anymore.
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
Further devastation of the air, land and sea is obviously a very real possibility, unless the attitudes of politicians and all who irresponsibly exploit our natural resources change significantly in the very near future and all collaborate and sacrifice for the good of the planet.
Viggo Mortensen
I think if you don't say something it's lying by omission. I personally think it's immoral.
Viggo Mortensen
I try to research or make up for myself what happened in any character's life. From when he was born until the first page of the script. I fill in the blanks.
