From an ELLE Quebec interview:
The type of woman that attracts Viggo
How is this friendship disrupted by the insertion of a woman of intrigue, played by Renée Zellwegger?
"I can’t exactly tell you how! But let’s say I really like Renée’s role. She’s depicting a complex woman, perhaps manipulative, but very touching in the way she admits her fear of being alone. In that way she shows herself to be both vulnerable and honest."
Is this the kind of woman that attracts you?
“I like women who are honest, with others and with themselves. And if I’m lucky, with me too! “(laughs)
You’ve met such women?
(long silence) “Honest women are rare, you know...”
Why do you say that?
(He evades the question and turns it back to me: ) “Why do you think?”
Err....my opinion? Let’s say that it happens that some women are more attached to their image than to their true nature.
“Indeed, but it’s not just women that are trapped by their image and who dare not express what they really are. The same goes for men. Such men are sometimes caught up in their idea of masculinity and the roles they believe they have to play in society, or in their private life. And of course, one has to be ready to take risks to be in a couple. In fact I think that having the courage to be oneself is the most difficult thing in the world. The most essential and also the most magnificent."

MORTENSEN BLASTED FOR DAREDEVIL STUNTS
Daredevil actor VIGGO MORTENSEN angered director ED HARRIS on the set of new movie APPALOOSA, by challenging a stuntman to a dangerous horseriding race.
After perfecting his equestrian skills on the set of movie Hidalgo, Mortensen dared a co-star to a race while standing on the horses' saddles - and invited cast and crewmembers to bet on the outcome.
The Danish actor's saddle slipped and he fell to the ground at high speed. He was unhurt, but Harris was furious his star risked his health, and yelled, "What the hell do you think you're doing?" reports the National Enquirer.
Mortensen was banned from riding horses for the remainder of the shoot.
