Из отчета о недавнем интервью на телевидении:
"All is going as expected for a few minutes until Charlie Rose comments on Viggo's T-shirt which reads, "NO MORE BLOOD FOR OIL" in bold handwritten letters. Then the topic changes completely and for several minutes, Charlie and Viggo debate the topic of the US governments' war on terrorism and Iraq. Viggo said some of the most bold things I've heard from anyone about the US response to 9/11 and the situation in Iraq. He basically feels that the US was unjust in bombing innocent civilians in Afghanistan and is against a war on Iraq.
He also did not like how people compare the US to the good guys in The Lord of the Rings movies and terrorists to Sauron and Saruman. He says that the opposite is, unfortunately, true and that the US is like Saruman in its need to control and cause destruction in other countries. Viggo spoke rather intelligently and he went out on a thin limb making these somewhat radical statements, but he made his point and came out alive. Charlie Rose was defending the US, but he said he respected Viggo for making his comments. I have even more respect for Viggo now as it required a large amount of bravery and knowledge to say what he did, and he faced some strong arguments from Charlie Rose.
