In terms of the movie business, being in a 'Lord of the Rings' has given me more interesting options as work.
Viggo Mortensen
You should always do the things in life that are both interesting and make you afraid.

It's easy to get depressed and think, Well, what's the point? But it's the same as, Well, we're all going to die, so what's the point in brushing my teeth or even saying hello to anyone or obeying traffic lights. You can do that, but that's certainly not going to take you anywhere.

Viggo Mortensen
I'd like to, when it's all said and done, say that I have at least a few stories that I feel proud of.
Viggo Mortensen
Walking down the street in any town or city in the world and having people look at you and start talking to you, convinced that they know you as well or better than they do members of their own family, that's just an odd phenomenon. But I mean, I wouldn't say it was a bad thing. It's an interesting thing.
Viggo Mortensen
Most movies are lucky to have one moment, one shot that you look at and you always remember that moment and that scene.
Viggo Mortensen
You can't really go back to where you came from. I don't think any of us can.
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
To be honest, I don't really care about any pope. It's not something I think about much, to be quite honest with you.
Viggo Mortensen
It is important to keep protesting, to keep forcing a conversation in the public arena. In any case, when you know what the right thing to do is, or that something must be said, it can be immoral and dangerous not to act.
Viggo Mortensen
I don't think you get to be pope without making some enemies, like you do when you're president.
