“I think it's my job to like any character I play - to understand and appreciate a character, to look at the world as much as possible from their point of view.

I like to learn as much as I can about the person, and see what happens.” ThinkingWorldWantLooksPersonsI CanPlayCharacterHappensJobsLinesViewsFiguresAppreciatePoint Of ViewGestures Author:Viggo Mortensen

“It's disingenous for me to say that I wasn't trying to write a moral novel. By its very nature as a novel about the Iraq War, Fobbit steps into the political conversation.

“I think a more complex idea of fiction - and the human self's relationship with the world - emerges when we abandon this philistine equation between literature and liberalism and human goodness, and pay some attention to the darker, ambiguous, and often muddled energies and motivations that shape a work of art.
