If in my twenties I'd gotten one of the two-dozen roles that I did screen tests for and almost got, I think I would have become bored with the awards circuit, the whole hype machine.

I have a roof over my head. I had a breakfast, and a lot of people in the world can't say that. I'm not going to complain about being interviewed.
Viggo Mortensen
I now realize that I was very fortunate to have grown up in many different places, surrounded by all kinds of people, all kinds of points of view.

Viggo Mortensen
I think if you don't say something it's lying by omission. I personally think it's immoral.

One of the best pieces of advice I ever got was from a horse master. He told me to go slow to go fast. I think that applies to everything in life. We live as though there aren't enough hours in the day but if we do each thing calmly and carefully we will get it done quicker and with much less stress.

Travel is one of the best anti-war weapons that there are. I've been to Iran, and if you're there you see little kids, cops, old people, cemeteries. Once you see that, you can't say, 'Oh, Iran, let's bomb them.'

You can't really divorce yourself and your life from the world you live in.
Viggo Mortensen

Viggo Mortensen
America is an empire in decay. But we don't have to lash out and do damage on the way down. We can reverse some of the damage we've done. It's possible.

Captain Fantastic touches on that [division]. You meet this family that lives off the grid in the woods and you go, Oh, it's some kind of liberal utopian fantasy. The enemy is gonna be all these conservative types that they'll probably run into, and that's going to be the story.
Viggo Mortensen
I've never had a problem with people paying attention to what you're doing and say they find that they liked it.
