Re: From the Mouth of Viggo (quotes from the man himself)


“I was 11 when we moved back to the States. I couldn't believe the swear words, the slang, the music - all the kids were into Blue Oyster Cult and Grand Funk Railroad. I was a closet Carpenters fan. I'd sing "Top of the World" to myself on the way to school, but when I got close to campus I'd shut up.” (VPM on moving from Argentina to New York State)



I constantly find more reasons to love Viggo and feel in tune with him. emoticon I was a closet Carpenters fan too! And those of you who know me know I rarely swear beyond the mild hell and damn.(you know it's serious when I swear. lol)

"I'm looking into different things, like total world domination, subjugation," Mortensen jokes. "That'd be a good place to start. I got to play a lead role in 'Hidalgo.' I wouldn't have been given that responsibility if it weren't for the success of 'Rings' — I'm aware of that.

"I said to Jane Campion (the producer) one day..See, I just figured out what the name of my character Casper Goodwood really means..Ghost of a hard-on." ~ During filming of Portrait Of a Lady 1996

"I don’t want to waste my life on receptions and shallowness and those film-awards that take place every weekend and in many ways corrupt the whole industry. There’s enough that matters in life – my son, nature, art, travels – and that’s what I want to spend my time on.”

"I’m certainly not asking anyone to run out and burn down city hall, or to necessarily engage in any overt protest," Mortensen told the 567 graduates at St. Lawrence’s 150th commencement. "I simply advocate your continuing to explore being involved citizens. Don’t ever be afraid to ask the question, ‘Why?’"

Viggo, on receiving an honorary Doctor of Arts from SLU, 21 May 2006

Q: I guess Brad Pitt's the pretty boy type of hunk and you're the, you know...
VM: ...the grizzled hack version? Do you think we should play brothers or something?
Q: You should.
VM: Or lovers?
Q: Maybe lovers. Yeah.
VM: You think people would pay to see that?

"If I really think about it, there isn't any one movie I would wipe off my slate," Mortensen says. "Even during the worst experiences, there was somebody I got to know, or something about the place we were in, something memorable. A lesson." Viggo Mortensen

Here is on of my faves as well. He is so thoughtful and kind. emoticon

"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. I don’t think anyone’s are, in the end. It’s just a question of finding out by spending time with them or giving their ideas a chance to be considered." Viggo Mortensen, 2004
