"Viggo Mortensen is an extraordinary person, [but] I suspect him to have a serious defect somewhere. This is just not possible, I never met someone who has no defect at all. He's got everything: he's kind, he's generous, he's tender, he's a pacifist, tolerant--I am also like that, I like tolerant people--and he helps everyone. He writes poems, he makes photos... That's extraordinary, he's handsome, he acts well... Then you say to yourself, it is NOT possible, such people don't exist. I didn't succeed in finding it, but there must be a defect, you can't be like that, perfect! (laughs)"
