I try to avoid conflict. I don't want people to be unhappy.

As Aragorn said at Helm's Deep, "There is always hope."

I don't like the 'must', the 'always', and the 'never' words. I don't like 'no' either.

When there is conflict, it's good to step away, even for five minutes, because you could say terrible things that you can't take back, so it's best to walk away.

One of the main ways that leadership stays in power is by, in various ways, convincing people that they should just let those who are in government govern: 'Trust us. Trust me. Just let us take care of things. Stay out of it.' Your opinions don't really matter. You are isolated. You are insignificant.

You know, 'Viggo' is a pretty dorky name in Denmark. It's like 'Oswald' or something. It's a very old Scandinavian name, at least 1,000 years old.

For 'Hidalgo,' I just spent as much time around horses as I could, which made sense.
