More quotes by Viggo Mortensen
The only thing that I always do - is once I've taken on a job, even just to do one scene in a movie, I ask myself, What's happened the moment the kid was born, until page one of the script? To answer that simple question, I have an infinite amount of work to do. And I enjoy that part as much as I enjoy any part of making movies.
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
Most actors can't make any kind of living.
Viggo Mortensen
I have to say that I think Bernie Sanders is the first politician since Dennis Kucinich that I've been truly inspired by. Where you actually are truly speaking truth to power, in a legitimate way and in an unpretentious and very straightforward way.
Viggo Mortensen
Life is short and the older you get, the more you feel it. Indeed, the shorter it is. People lose their capacity to walk, run, travel, think, and experience life. I realise how important it is to use the time I have.
Viggo Mortensen
My goal is just to make movies, whether they're big or small, that I'd like to see 10 years from now.
Viggo Mortensen
It's hard not to get depressed when you pay attention to the world and how strangely and corrupt the people in it sometimes behave.
Viggo Mortensen
I like naturally occurring film grain, and what happens to film when it's under- and over-exposed.
Viggo Mortensen
I take my work seriously, but it's not the only thing that exists in the world.
Viggo Mortensen
I love rehearsing, but a lot of directors don't, and some actors don't.
Viggo Mortensen
I would literally climb out of the cradle while my parents slept, go and crawl off. I did this a couple of times apparently. I'd cross the road and into someone's house, wake them up banging pots and pans in the kitchen.
Viggo Mortensen
I don't think you get to be pope without making some enemies, like you do when you're president.
Viggo Mortensen
That is to say, Hillary Clinton is not, in my mind, a satisfying or calming alternative to Donald Trump.
Viggo Mortensen
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. If you allow yourself to be somewhat curious - and if you get into the habit of doing that - it's the first step to being open minded and realizing that your points of view aren't totally opposite.
Viggo Mortensen
I realise how important it is to use the time I have. I respect people who want to do that by watching television. I happen to want to read books. But I know I can't read all the books or watch all the movies in one lifetime.
Viggo Mortensen
You should always do the things in life that are both interesting and make you afraid.
Viggo Mortensen
Life is short and the older you get, the more you feel it. Indeed, the shorter it is.
Viggo Mortensen
When we shot 'The Lord of the Rings,' we had special permission to film in wild areas of New Zealand that could be accessed only by helicopter. They would drop us off and we would work all day, and they'd pick us up and take us out again.
Viggo Mortensen
When I was a little boy, I rode, but I didn't own horses.
Viggo Mortensen
Nobody really knows anybody completely, even if they've been married to 'em for 53 years, you know?
