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.

More quotes by Viggo Mortensen
It's amazing to me that Glenn Beck can be on the cover of 'Time,' and there can be a whole article about him basically saying, 'Well, you know, he's controversial.' It's like, 'No, he's a dangerous idiot who needs the help of a good psychiatrist!'

Like most people I can be lazy, so it's nice to have a goal or deadline or reason to work out. I feel better when I get to exercise, or when I'm outdoors. I like to hike, swim and run, and I love to play soccer.

You can't really divorce yourself and your life from the world you live in.
Viggo Mortensen
Jung viewed Freud as a mentor, but he never wanted to be anybody's disciple.

To strive for something better - at least there's a chance.

There might be people out there who wouldn't hire me because they thought I should keep my mouth shut, but I'm not aware of that. Even if I saw evidence of that, it wouldn't really concern me.
Viggo Mortensen
I think that people who get to a certain position, and then try to ferociously defend it or build on it, it's kind of a dead-end street. You see people becoming miserable that way.
Viggo Mortensen
You know, real life doesn't just suddenly resolve itself. You have to keep working at it.
Viggo Mortensen
I suppose a good director is like a teacher. I think that someone like David Cronenberg was very much like a teacher, because there's an openness, but a certain set of rules of behavior, and a certain conduct expected. But there's an atmosphere that's relaxed and conducive to exploration, and that is created by someone like Cronenberg.
Viggo Mortensen
I hate divers, like Cristiano Ronaldo, who might be the greatest athlete in the sport, but he's a big baby. If things are going well he's great, but when things are going badly it's the ref's fault, it's his teammates' fault.
Viggo Mortensen
I'm an optimist I always hope that each new script is going to be a great story.
Viggo Mortensen
You know, real life doesn't just suddenly resolve itself. You have to keep working at it. Democracy, marriage, friendship. You can't just say she's my best friend. That's not a given, it's a process.

In a movie, you're raw material, just a hue of some color and the director makes the painting.

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.

Bernie Sanders has inspired millions of people in this country.

Even the implication that The Lord of the Rings is a mythic story about Western, white supremacy - regardless of the political leanings of anyone who tries to make that case - is a load of self-justifying, destructive horseshit.
Viggo Mortensen
In principle, I think the idea of rewarding a good effort is interesting, but movies are generally different from each other as are performances and the conditions on how the performances are given and how they're edited and so forth.
Viggo Mortensen
In terms of the movie business, being in a 'Lord of the Rings' has given me more interesting options as work.

A lot of people can forget about you in Los Angeles.

I think, on a surface level, people are surprised to see me playing such a passive role in 'Good.'
