More quotes by Nicolas Cage

Nicolas Cage
I just try to keep it fresh. I try to keep it interesting. The truth is my roots are independently spirited dramas that are small, and I will always go back to that well, because that's where I broke out of. But I'm going to keep doing as many different movies as I possibly can.
Nicolas Cage

Generally my instinct is to not do biographical movies. I want to build characters and not be locked into playing a part in history.
Nicolas Cage
I care about the connection with the audience. Film is such a powerful medium. Movies can change the way people think.
Nicolas Cage
I love it all. I don't want to go through my career with one hand tied behind my back. I love making kids happy. I love the midnight audience. I like intense dramas. And I like high-adrenaline action films.
Nicolas Cage
When I started experimenting with fantasy and horror films and looking for characters who had some sort of emotional or mental difficulty, I saw opportunities to express my music - dare I say art - in a way that I could get a bit surreal.
Nicolas Cage
I don't want to sit around by the pool luxuriating with a margarita. That's just not what I want to do.
Nicolas Cage
I find children inspiring. The way they look at the world. The magical world they live in, to me, is inspiring.
Nicolas Cage
I bought a Yamaha-1 and I was doing 180 miles per hour home on the 405 and that's really, really crazy but I did it.
Nicolas Cage
