More quotes by Nicolas Cage
When you have 400 people watching you making a movie, it doesn't go where you want it to go. It's a lot of pressure.
Nicolas Cage
Peter Fonda is the reason I became a motorcyclist. I saw Easy Rider and I bought a motorcycle the next day, and I rode it all the way from LA to San Francisco.
Nicolas Cage
I believe that there's a way to question authority with manners, with dignity. There's no reason to be rude about it.
Nicolas Cage
I believe that everybody has the right to believe what they want to believe and to knock somebody's faith and religion is foolish, whatever it may be - Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism.
Nicolas Cage
One day, one of my dreams is to someday get to do Nemo in '20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.'
Nicolas Cage
I want to make all kinds of movies. I do want to make big movies that are a lot of fun to go to, but I also want to make movies that are going to stimulate some thought and maybe raise some awareness.

Nicolas Cage
You get dinged for wanting to do a comedy, then wanting to do a big-budget action film, and then wanting to do an indie. But you can't let other people trying to label you get in the way of trying to do something artistically.
Nicolas Cage
We've become so glorified in the movie-star system that it's become this artificial royalty. The truth is that we're circus clowns.
Nicolas Cage
I've really had good luck working with younger actors. Every younger actor that I have worked with has always been really on top of their game and fascinating to watch.
Nicolas Cage
My house is basically a trailer. I live a circus lifestyle. I'm always moving. It's not always easy for people that live with me, but that's the path I chose.
Nicolas Cage
I never say never, but I haven't been given the quality of script to compel me to go on television.
Nicolas Cage
I think a good movie is a good movie whether that falls into a genre or not.
Nicolas Cage
One of the pluses of getting older is you set some limits.
Nicolas Cage
I'm not a trained actor. I'm someone who is autodidactic and learned on my own.
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
I invite the entire spectrum, shall we call it, of feeling. Because that is my greatest resource as a film actor. I need to be able to feel everything, which is why I refuse to go on any kind of medication. Not that I need to! But my point is, I wouldn't even explore that, because it would get in the way of my instrument.
Nicolas Cage
