Nicolas Cage
I have dogs, and it's no secret that I find reptiles interesting, but the thing about reptiles is that they really just wanna be left alone, and I understand them. It's, 'Don't pick me up, stop holding me, don't look at me, just leave me alone.' I have to admit, sometimes I feel like that.
Nicolas Cage
You can't make your choices based on what critics think. You have to make your choices based on what's honest for you.
Nicolas Cage
I don't want you to think that I'm up late reading a stack of Spider-Man comics and eating a tray of lemon cookies while sucking my thumb. I'm not doing that. But I am loyal to the influences of my childhood.

Nicolas Cage
One of the great bonuses of being a film actor is that I get to go to different places, meet inspiring people and learn different things. So all those details add up.
Nicolas Cage
Film has lost something in the translation to high tech. It's become so super-real. It's with digital this and stereo that, and everything's like a CD.
Nicolas Cage
I like being at that place where you can either fall or stand. That's where I think you really have a shot at doing something truthful.
Nicolas Cage
'Knowing' is one of those movies where you're going to get the spectacle, and you're going to have the entertainment in the grand science fiction tradition. But also, it will perhaps stimulate some discussion to help you sort out on your own where you might choose to go in terms of your own needs. Now, I say that without preaching.
Nicolas Cage
All movies on some level can aspire to be more than just whatever the label is of the movie.
Nicolas Cage
