"I'm just looking as always for something that's stimulating and I hope to find a good story that's a challenge, whether it's big or small. Or that it finds me. I don't have like a career plan. Maybe I should, but I don't"

Viggo Mortensen's quote talks to his approach to his profession. He is not looking to follow a particular plan, however rather is open to whatever opportunities come his way. He is trying to find something that is stimulating and challenging, regardless of the size of the project. He is open to the concept that the ideal story may discover him, instead of him having to actively look for it. This talks to his desire to take threats and to be open to new experiences. He is not looking to follow a specific course, but instead is looking for something that will challenge him and provide him with an opportunity to grow. His quote is a pointer that sometimes the best opportunities come when we are open to the possibilities.
