More From Viggo Mortensen

To walk in money through the night crowd, protected by money, lulled by money, dulled by money, the crowd itself a money, the breath money, no least single object anywhere that is not money. money, money everywhere and still not enough! and then no money, or a little money, or less money, or more money but money always money. and if you have money, or you don't have money, it is the money that counts, and money makes money, but what makes money make money?

You can say something that can really help and actor and you can say something that can really get in the way of an actor's performance, kind of cut them off from their instincts and really get into their heads. and every actor's different. every actor requires something different. being an actor, for me, was the greatest training to be a writer and director.

For after all, what is there behind, except money? money for the right kind of education, money for influential friends, money for leisure and peace of mind, money for trips to italy. money writes books, money sells them. give me not righteousness, o lord, give me money, only money.

For some reason, my main movie, lady sings the blues, to me really isn't me. i really can let go of diana ross when i see the movie. i'm really objective when i'm watching it. i liked that movie so much. that movie was like magic so that when i'm looking at it i'm really not seeing myself, i'm seeing the actress. i'm seeing another person, not the me of me.

I definitely consider myself a method actor, because of my training. i might dispute what people consider a method actor to be. for my money, a method actor is an actor who has a technique. that has a method. and not one method, but whatever might be required. so a method actor is always learning.

You want to make a little money, and sometimes you want to play some really great parts. sometimes they don't always coincide, or co-exist. sometimes you've got to do good parts for no money and... you know, i sometimes can't do movies just for the money. i really can't. i mean, i've tried. believe me, i'd love to just take the money and run. that might just be part of the equation, but there has to be something there. you have to be somewhat creatively satisfied.

Similar Quotes

Sometimes in life, you have to make things happen. that you can change your life if you're willing to let go of the old and actively look for the new. that even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.

The reason that truth is stranger than fiction is that fiction has to have a rational thread running through it in order to be believable, whereas reality may be totally irrational.

The audience is invisible and that's good. somewhere my voice is drifting through a swine barn and the sound of it seems to perk up the sows' appetite. or a lady is listening on headphones as she jogs along a beach, running to my cadence. or a dog sits in front of the radio, head cocked, and the sibilants excite him in some mysterious way. a dog's humorist, that's me.

I'm not explaining this right. what happened was this. there were these beautiful feelings and loose little pleasures inside me. and this woman was something like an assembly line for my soul. i run these little pieces of myself through her and i come out complete. now do you follow me?
