Viggo Mortensen Quotes
«We all experience many freakish and unexpected events - you have to be open to suffering a little.

«I mean, I've been around a long time compared to a lot of other actors. I mean, I've been working on and off for 20 odd years.»
«I'm just looking as always for something that's stimulating and I hope to find a good story that's a challenge, whether it's big or small. Or that it finds me. I don't have like a career plan. Maybe I should, but I don't.»
