I like a twisted sense of humour. On 'A History of Violence,' David Cronenberg and I would be doing the grimmest scenes and laugh a lot.

Pinochet and Barack Obama both have the same primary goal, and that's to be president and stay president as long as allowed.

To be honest, I don't really care about any pope. It's not something I think about much, to be quite honest with you.

Toronto Film Festival is one ...

Toronto Film Festival is one of those festivals where there are 400 movies, and unless you have a distributor who is super confident and puts a lot of money into it, sometimes movies can go unwatched or unnoticed.

Captain Fantastic touches on ...

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."

We all have secrets, some secrets bigger than others, is a normal human thing.

America is an empire in decay...

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.

People are becoming more inti...

People are becoming more intimately acquainted with people who are different than them - it's not so unusual anymore.

Viggo Mortensen 230 quotes

It is important to keep prote...

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.

As Martin Luther King said, "...

As Martin Luther King said, "Passively to participate in an unjust system is to accept that system and to participate in its evil."

Even the implication that The...

Even the implication that The Lord of the Rings is a mythic story about Western, white supremacy - regardless of the political leanings of anyone who tries to make that case - is a load of self-justifying, destructive horseshit.

I think you have to be flexib...

I think you have to be flexible above all as an actor; different characters have different demands, actors that you work with are different in their approach, or how you get along or don't get along with them.

Having a mixed background and...

Having a mixed background and feeling a little bit like a fish out of water in most places can be a benefit.

I think it's my job to like a...

I think it's my job to like any character I play - to understand and appreciate a character, to look at the world as much as possible from their point of view. I don't look at it just technically: learn the lines, figure out what gestures I want to bring and play, and that's it. I like to learn as much as I can about the person, and see what happens.

Viggo Mortensen 230 quotes

Once you learn the idea of wh...

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.

I want to see what the Green Party looks like. I think if people don't start voting what they feel, if that's something other than the Democratic Party or the Republican Party, then nothing's going to change. You need more political parties that actually have a chance.

As you get older, you get stu...

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 230 quotes

I've been naked physically in...

I've been naked physically in movies - but it's a whole other thing to be naked emotionally in a way that's not just a distraction or a character.

Viggo Mortensen 230 quotes

If I can get a day to myself,...

If I can get a day to myself, I won't answer the phone, I'll read or go for a walk. Simple, basic things. People think there's always time to do that but there isn't. Life is short.

That is to say, Hillary Clinton is not, in my mind, a satisfying or calming alternative to Donald Trump.
