Mr Good Bard
"There have been moments where I have maybe not taken the right road. You can try to make up for it but sometimes you can't. It is too late. And there are times too that are part of survival as well where you instinctively fight incorrectly. A friend reminds me that I am on the wrong path, in my relationship with them or what I am doing, but the ego doesn't want to hear about it. We don't want to be reminded sometimes of what we are doing. We don't want to look in the mirror, or look in the eyes of someone who knows you well and justify yourself. I think we like to think of ourselves doing the right thing more often than we do it. But life is not black and white. It is usually more uncomfortably in the middle."

Lads of the Ring, The Toronto Star (Canada), December 12, 2003
[...]
Mortensen's quiet dedication and unaffecting ways really impressed Orlando Bloom, the other Lord Of The Rings heartthrob.
"I had an incredible time working with Viggo," Bloom says. "I worked very closely with him and he was like a mentor to me, really, chatting, talking about film and just about the day-to-day stuff of getting through making this film. He really influenced the way I approach the work today. He has a lot of integrity in terms of how he approaches it, but he can also have fun with it as well, so it was cool. He taught me a lot."
He laughs when it's suggested that he and Mortensen are competing for the title of most popular hunk in The Lord Of The Rings.
"Well, I don't think I can compete with Viggo ... certainly, I'm (popular) with the six-year-olds and below. He's got the rest covered."

from a fan report
[cut]
"..then one woman says 'oh, she's one of viggo's ex-girlfriends!' and she was like 'no way!' and in her book that she had signed it said something like 'nice to see you again..' and so then aragrothien says 'okay, i have one question for you - boxers or briefs??' and the woman just smiles and says nothing for a moment, and then says 'speedos! swim team, you know.' or something to that effect. I couldn't believe it! to be an ex-girlfriend of viggo, who is now bombarded with millions of women who want him! I would feel pretty stupid for breaking up with him! "
