Viggo Mortensen talks about smoking during filming A Dangerous Method

"

Interviewer: Viggo, we hear you’re a fan of horses. Is it true that you took some horses from Lord Of The Rings?

David Cronenberg: But he’s a horse thief, that’s why he did that. He basically had sex with all the horses in the movie. That was his way of dealing with it.

Viggo: It wasn’t great with every single one. But I did my best.

"We also had a lot of fun singing duets. In Belvedere Gardens where Freud did take his walks, and then you see him in the end, in his morning walk, we were singing at the top of our lungs, which surprised the public and some of the journalists. He has a good singing voice and I did harmony. In Belvedere, we sang that song “The Lion Sleeps Tonight,” including all the high notes, which Michael hit really well."

"He sits in a corner, naked, eating a banana."

"There was a scene in my study and Jung is sitting in a chair. I offered him a cigar and he said no, he smoked pipes. He had coffee and cookies, as Jung had an oral fixation. He was always eating. Freud collected phallic art. I was gradually moving these phallic pieces closer to Jung’s coffee cup. It wasn’t until his saucer was completely ringed by these penises, that he realized when he put his cup down — “What is this?” Michael looked around — he thought it was the art department."

- Viggoon the prank he played on Michael Fassbender

"David Cronenberg took a chance in casting me in this role. I’m sorry he wasn’t included. I would’ve liked to go to the party with him."

- Viggo on his Golden Globe nomination for Best Supporting Actor

"And in between takes—at first I don’t notice—Viggo keeps pushing these penises, no, what do you call them? Phalluses? Freud’s desk had all of these little statutes and things, and some of them were phallus sculptures from different cultures around the world. And Viggo kept pushing them towards my end of the desk. I didn’t notice at first until I looked down and saw them all, inching ever-forward, with Viggo smirking, really a prankster, dressed up as Freud. It was surreal!"

"I’m hoping to shoot a movie with an elephant soon, and I’ve no idea where I’m going to put him."

- Viggo on buying horses from his films

"Viggo’s a leader, just by sheer dint of his personality. He’s an example to us all. He’s a massive work-horse, like a massive multiplex. You can go through one door and he’s a photographer, then you go through the next door and he’s a singer. Then you go and look at his poetry and his art and there’s his films! I’m not jealous at all [laughs]! And he’s just a great guy and my friend."

- Bernard Hill, 2006

Interviewer: You’re a painter, a musician, a photographer, an actor, a poet and you’re a natural at swordplay. Is there anything you won’t try at least once?

Viggo: You know what? I’m not so interested in skydiving. I’m not sure why anyone wants to jump out of a plane that’s working perfectly well.
