Viggo Mortensen Life Quotations

Life is short and the older you get, the more you feel it. Indeed, the shorter it is. People lose their capacity to walk, run, travel, think, and experience life. I realise how important it is to use the time I have.

The first decade of your life is really important; it's formative.

You know, real life doesn't just suddenly resolve itself. You have to keep working at it.

You should always do the things in life that are both interesting and make you afraid.

If I can get a day to myself, I won't answer the phone, I'll read or go for a walk. Simple, basic things. People think there's always time to do that but there isn't. Life is short.
