Nicolas Cage
If I do do a sequel, I'm going to have to know for sure that the script is better than the original. So I'm going to be very careful about that because I'm not eager to repeat myself.
Nicolas Cage
To be a good actor you have to be something like a criminal, to be willing to break the rules to strive for something new.

Nicolas Cage
I always say to myself that if I can make a movie that makes a kid smile or gives them some hope or something to get excited about, then I'm applying myself in the best way that I can. I don't think that just goes for kids. I think that it goes for adults, as well, and for families.
Nicolas Cage
