More quotes by Viggo Mortensen
I think every family is dysfunctional, and some manage to control it better than others.
Viggo Mortensen
I really enjoyed working with New Zealanders as crew members, as teammates. They're great, and it's a beautiful country. It's one of the most beautiful places I've ever been, and I've traveled quite a bit.
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.
Viggo Mortensen
Saying you are a patriot does not make you one wearing a flag pin does not in itself mean anything at all.
Viggo Mortensen
As you get older, you get stuck in your ways just as you become stiffer physically, you also become stiffer mentally and more narrow-minded unless you make a conscious effort to keep yourself flexible.
Viggo Mortensen
I have a work ethic. If I say I'm going to do something, I do it.
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
I like the detail work of telling a story in small pieces, as is done in movie-making, and also the long leap of faith needed to see a theatre performance through each night. Both require focus and self-discipline.
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
[Captain Fantastic] it's a great story. It's one of the better scripts I've read, ever, as far as being great from beginning to end. It handles a variety of characters. You have six children who all stand on their own, they're all individuals. And it touches on a very real issue, which is the lack of cohesion and communication in America right now.
Viggo Mortensen
I trust Hillary Clinton about as far as I could throw Donald Trump.
Viggo Mortensen
If you don't find some way to discuss what's going on inside you, it can come out in other ways that are self-destructive.
Viggo Mortensen
I'm not that involved in personal grooming. But I try not to be offensive to people.
Viggo Mortensen
Nobody really knows anybody completely, even if they've been married to 'em for 53 years, you know?
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'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
You don't have to make something that people call art. Living is an artistic activity, there is an art to getting through the day.
Viggo Mortensen
Kids are shy and they often don't want to make eye contact or say thank you.
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
Some people who like dogs don't like cats, but I'm not like that.
