Viggo Mortensen Directors Quotations

The best thing an actor can be is flexible, because all directors are different and all actors are different.

I love rehearsing, but a lot of directors don't, and some actors don't.

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.

What keeps the film from being by-the-numbers has a lot to do with David. A lot of directors would have made an exploitation movie.

The way we present ourselves is a veneer, and beneath that, there are a lot more unpleasant things. Other directors might have missed a lot of the subtleties of this story and made a meal out of the violence.
