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
The Holocaust movie is almost a genre in itself these days.

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
With any character I have played there’s infinite possibilities for how they might behave, depending on who they are talking to or how they react to things.
Viggo Mortensen
You should always do the things in life that are both interesting and make you afraid.
Viggo Mortensen
I know I said I wanted to live forever and I would never be bored, but the reality is, it's probably kind of sad to live forever if you're the only one sticking around.
Viggo Mortensen
I think you have to be flexible above all as an actor different characters have different demands, actors that you work with are different in their approach, or how you get along or don't get along with them.
Viggo Mortensen
I like a twisted sense of humour. On 'A History of Violence,' David Cronenberg and I would be doing the grimmest scenes and laugh a lot.
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.

There are people that grandstand and seem to be publicly politically engaged because they like the attention, more than because they're genuinely concerned about the world. But I don't think that's the majority.
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
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
In 2016 we are faced with a particularly bizarre and unappetizing choice as regards the two main political parties' presidential candidates, in my opinion.
Viggo Mortensen
I love rehearsing, but a lot of directors don't, and some actors don't.

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
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
Those who have the power and should be the most responsible are often the least responsible.
Viggo Mortensen
With few exceptions, one ought always do what one is afraid of.
Viggo Mortensen
Once you learn the idea of what a good guy is, you want your dad to be a good guy, and when your dad lets you down and doesn't act like a good guy, it's disappointing and can make you angry as you see it happen, which is beautiful and very believable.
Viggo Mortensen
You do need to get lucky, no matter how talented you are.
