A lot of times, movies that are in the top 10 lists or maybe even win Baftas or Oscars, you then watch them a year later and you go, 'Maybe it wasn't so great.'

More quotes by Viggo Mortensen
Those who have the power and should be the most responsible are often the least responsible.
Viggo Mortensen
As far as money goes, there's a saying in Denmark: 'Your last suit doesn't have any pockets.' You can't take it with you. You can make all the money you want, but who cares?
Viggo Mortensen
Because of the internet, satellite TV, and the digital world, you can stay in touch, you can learn about other people from a young age.
Viggo Mortensen
I don't think special attention should be given to an actor or a singer or a baseball player or a soccer player more than anyone else, but they do have an opinion like anyone else.
Viggo Mortensen
Like most people - unless they're very practised at it or have no warm blood at all in their veins - I feel a little apprehensive about the red carpet. It's always a bit bewildering when people are taking pictures and asking questions before the ceremony.
Viggo Mortensen
What art does is it makes you feel alive and makes you feel like you're connected.
Viggo Mortensen
You have a moral obligation to finish the job you said you would do.
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.
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
Adult characters are all the things they've encountered over time. But kids haven't accumulated all the life experience, all the regrets. They tend to be more in the moment, more willing to play, to be joyful.
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
I want to see what the Green Party looks like. I think if people don't start voting what they feel, if that's something other than the Democratic Party or the Republican Party, then nothing's going to change. You need more political parties that actually have a chance.
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
Usually the characters I play are men of few words, who communicate in non-verbal ways.
Viggo Mortensen
Be kind. It's worthwhile to make an effort to learn about other people and figure out what you might have in common with them.
Viggo Mortensen
Every year I hear people complain that the quality of screenplays and movies is declining. In my opinion, the vast majority of scripts written - as well as most movies that are released - are not very original, well-written, or interesting. It has always been that way, and I think it always will be.
Viggo Mortensen
I look at my job as looking at the world from points of view that are different from mine - sometimes radically different from mine.
Viggo Mortensen
Bernie Sanders has inspired millions of people in this country.
Viggo Mortensen
You know, Freud accepted his lot very stoically and very well and with a sense of humor. He aged and died gracefully, and there's a lot to be said for that.
Viggo Mortensen
I've never played a Dane in a movie. I've had offers to be in Danish movies, including for some good directors, but I either had a job at the time or, when I was available, the movie just didn't happen. Hopefully someday I'll do one.
