Can you join, ask sincerely for affection without sweaty hand of expectation, understanding and accepting if it never is given?

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
I've never had a problem with people paying attention to what you're doing and say they find that they liked it.

I'm not afraid of death, but I resent it. I think it's unfair and irritating. Every time I see something beautiful, I not only want to return to it, but it makes me want to see other beautiful things. I know I'm not going to get to all the places I want to go.

At the end of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century in Austria, there was a lot of anti-Semitism. Anti-Semitism in Austria was much more pervasive than in Germany. And Austrians took to Nazi ideas and anti-Semitism much more readily than Germans did, really.

One of the main ways that leadership stays in power is by, in various ways, convincing people that they should just let those who are in government govern: 'Trust us. Trust me. Just let us take care of things. Stay out of it.' Your opinions don't really matter. You are isolated. You are insignificant.

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.

You know, 'Viggo' is a pretty dorky name in Denmark. It's like 'Oswald' or something. It's a very old Scandinavian name, at least 1,000 years old.
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
If you're not optimistic on some level, then you've given up.
Viggo Mortensen
As a kid I read Jules Verne, H. G. Wells, and a few others. As an adult have admired Leonardo da Vinci's drawings and notebooks.
Viggo Mortensen
I've never played a Dane in a movie. I've had offers to be in Danish movies, including for some good directors, but I either had a job at the time or, when I was available, the movie just didn't happen. Hopefully someday I'll do one.
Viggo Mortensen
I like stories that leave you wanting more, leave you wondering, but don't tell you everything.
Viggo Mortensen
You do need to get lucky, no matter how talented you are.
Viggo Mortensen
The money I earn from films means I can help the people I want to help - you can do a lot of good if you want to.
Viggo Mortensen
This basic thing I always do: 'What happened between the character's birth, and page one of the script?' Anything that's not in the story, I'll fill in the blanks.
Viggo Mortensen
I've been lucky to learn by playing all kinds of roles and watching all kinds of really good cinematographers, actors, and directors for many years before people were even aware of me in terms of audience.
Viggo Mortensen
In a movie, you're raw material, just a hue of some color and the director makes the painting.
Viggo Mortensen
You can't really divorce yourself and your life from the world you live in.
Viggo Mortensen
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.
