“A lot of times, movies that are in the top 10 lists or maybe even win ...” — Viggo Mortensen Quote

A lot of times, movies that are in the top 10 lists or maybe even win Baftas or Oscars, you then watch them a year later and you go, 'Maybe it wasn't so great.'

In the end, the actor's main power is the power to say, 'No.'

I think, on a surface level, people are surprised to see me playing such a passive role in 'Good.'

When I make a movie, I don't break it down and analyze it. I could but it would get in the way of doing a job - on instinct based on all the research we did going in. you want to trust yourself and your director and your acting partners in the circumstances you're shooting. I don't like to have any kind of overview.

We like lists because we don't want to die.

I don't like the sound of all the lists he's making.

I love making lists.

I was in the wilderness of Hollywood for almost ten years. I was off the studio lists. I wasn't getting the roles offered to actors that hadn't done a third of the roles I had done or had the popularity I had.

Mayors love lists when they say something good about their city and hate them when they don't.
