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.

More quotes by Viggo Mortensen
Jung viewed Freud as a mentor, but he never wanted to be anybody's disciple.
Viggo Mortensen
When I make a movie, I don't break it down and analyze it. I could but it would get in the way of doing a job - on instinct based on all the research we did going in. you want to trust yourself and your director and your acting partners in the circumstances you're shooting. I don't like to have any kind of overview.
Viggo Mortensen
I'm not afraid of death, but I resent it. I think it's unfair and irritating.
Viggo Mortensen
I have no idea what 'method actor' means.
Viggo Mortensen
In the end, the actor's main power is the power to say, 'No.'
Viggo Mortensen
You can't really go back to where you came from. I don't think any of us can.
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
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
I campaigned for [Dennis] Kucinich in 2008. I continue to be in touch with him and I really admire him. I think he's very brave and honest - unusually so for a U.S. politician.
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 pursue the things I do because I'm interested in them.
Viggo Mortensen
For 'Hidalgo,' I just spent as much time around horses as I could, which made sense.
Viggo Mortensen
I like the detail work of telling a story in small pieces, as is done in movie-making, and also the long leap of faith needed to see a theatre performance through each night. Both require focus and self-discipline.
Viggo Mortensen
The Black Lives Matter movement, the various Occupy movements in Spain and the rest of Europe, in this country, and elsewhere serve as an example of what can be done, and how strong the voices for positive change and truly democratic progress can be.
Viggo Mortensen
I think if you don't say something it's lying by omission. I personally think it's immoral.
Viggo Mortensen
Perhaps the itinerant upbringing my brothers and I had has something to do with my continued interest in perspectives different from my own.
Viggo Mortensen
I love rehearsing, but a lot of directors don't, and some actors don't.
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
People like to pigeonhole you. It's easier.
Viggo Mortensen
Usually the characters I play are men of few words, who communicate in non-verbal ways.
