More quotes by 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
When I have a day off, I won't spend it at a Hollywood party. I'd rather be at home with paints and a blank canvas.

I think the older you get the harder it is to [lose] probably. Your metabolism slows down, whatever, but I'm a pretty active person.

I grew up with horses when I was a kid in Argentina. I like them. I respect them. I'm careful around them. You never know what they're going to do. They're endlessly interesting. I've had some good acting partners that were horses over the years.

If you daren't enter the forest, or cannot find it, then perhaps you might find one tree, or a place where a tree could be, and just stop for a quiet moment to see what happens.
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
A little recognition is not a bad thing because it means people appreciate your work. The only problem is when you can't walk down the street or have a meal without people looking at you. I want to be the one looking at people.
Viggo Mortensen
Some people who like dogs don't like cats, but I'm not like that.
Viggo Mortensen
Like most people - unless they're very practised at it or have no warm blood at all in their veins - I feel a little apprehensive about the red carpet. It's always a bit bewildering when people are taking pictures and asking questions before the ceremony.
Viggo Mortensen
Because of the internet, satellite TV, and the digital world, you can stay in touch, you can learn about other people from a young age.
Viggo Mortensen
The Road was a movie that has a good reputation, even though it wasn't released very well, but that's a movie I'm very proud of.
Viggo Mortensen
Kids are shy and they often don't want to make eye contact or say thank you.
Viggo Mortensen
We often live in the past a lot more than we probably realize.

Yes, I would agree that America, just like Spain was in the 17th Century, is the main empire of the world and they are the ones who, on the surface, are the most pushy: pushing their language, pushing their culture - or what there is of it - pushing by force their system on others.
Viggo Mortensen
I was raised in Argentina until I was 11 and now I go back there a lot, at least twice a year. It's a country where I feel very comfortable and it represents an important period in my life.
Viggo Mortensen
I'm not a great fan of monarchy in general, but I have to say the Danish monarchy is closer to the people it's not as stuffy as the English one.
Viggo Mortensen
Those who have the power and should be the most responsible are often the least responsible.

It's amazing to me that Glenn Beck can be on the cover of 'Time,' and there can be a whole article about him basically saying, 'Well, you know, he's controversial.' It's like, 'No, he's a dangerous idiot who needs the help of a good psychiatrist!'
Viggo Mortensen
Bernie Sanders has inspired millions of people in this country.
Viggo Mortensen
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.
