During an interview Viggo spoke about his own encounter with going to a shrink. Viggo said, “I only had one experience when I was about 24. I went for a short time. For me, it was helpful. I think it’s a great idea — the idea that you can go and confess everything, your deepest fears, your insecurities, your strangest thoughts to someone and know that it won’t go any farther than that room. If you don’t find some way to discuss or recognize what’s going on inside you, it can come out in other ways that are self-destructive.”
