More From Viggo Mortensen

I work in hebrew. hebrew is deeply inspired by other languages. not now, for the last three thousand years, hebrew has been penetrated and fertilized by ancient semitic languages - by aramaic, by greek, by latin, by arabic, by yiddish, by latino, by german, by russian, by english, i could go on and on. it's very much like english. the english language took in many many fertilizations, many many genes, from other languages, from foreign languages - latin, french, nordic languages, german, scandinavian languages. every language has influences and is an influence.

I was raised by my mom. she taught me how to be a gentleman; nobody in the movies taught me. i think people are raised by their parents. if you're raised by movies, it's a whole other set of problems. i don't think it's as simple as me saying movies are meant to entertain, but i certainly don't feel moral responsibility in putting this out in the world and being like, "ok, this is going to affect how guys make decisions because they see some of my films or whatever." i just don't.

I grew up on certain movies, particular movies that said something to me as a kid from missouri, movies that showed me places i'd yet traveled, or different cultures, or explained something, or said something in a better way than i could ever say. i wanted to find the movies like that.
