I think anything that opens my mind and triggers my imagination I'm reading. I like to read science fiction and imagine the character. Anything that keeps my imagination flowing.

With my name in cement, I feel actualised. - On cementing his hand prints on Sunset Boulevard
Nicolas Cage

There is a misperception, if you will, in critical response or even in Hollywood, that I can only do exaggerated characters. Or what they would call over-the-top performances. Well, this is completely false.

Nobody wants to watch perfection.
Nicolas Cage

I happen to still like really dark, dramatic, fractured characters. They're the reason I got into movies.

Image
One of the things that's interesting to me is I find things like caffeine and stunts actually relax me. When they're putting a bit of gel on my arm and lighting me on fire, or when I'm about to go into a high-speed car chase or rev a motorcycle up pretty fast, I find everything else around me slows down.

Image
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.

I think a good movie is a good movie whether that falls into a genre or not.

Image
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
Image
I actually enjoy working with green screen, because I can imagine all that stuff happening, and I really cut my teeth on a movie I made called Adaptation where I had to imagine four-page dialogue scenes with my twin brother, who was nothing more than a tennis ball and a gas stand.

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
Image
For me, acting was a way of taking destructive energy and doing something productive with it, and in that way it was quite a life saver.

Feel like real time unfolding. It's going to smack of reality and feel as real as it can ... The buildings themselves aren't (shown) ... The movie's about what happened amongst this handful of men when the buildings came down.

I've always had a soft spot for comic books.

You can choose your family sometimes. You can choose people, it could be a teacher, it could be a professor, it could be someone you work with that actually genuinely cares about you and wants you to succeed.

I'm a seeker. I'm very much a believer in science. But I do think there are times when science and mysticism intersect.

I have eclectic tastes in the movies I want to do.
