Most of my favourite moments in film have been when I've had an opportunity to say something from scratch, something original, whether I jotted down a few lines or it came out in improvisation.

More quotes by Nicolas Cage
These so called Popcorn movies, or family movies, actually provide something quite beautiful and something quite necessary, which is a family bonding experience.
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
Some things are true whether you believe in them or not.
Nicolas Cage
Nobody wants to watch perfection.
Nicolas Cage
I think that if you go about making movies to win Oscars, you’re really going about it the wrong way.
Nicolas Cage
One day, one of my dreams is to someday get to do Nemo in '20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.'
Nicolas Cage
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.
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
I love art, I love music. I can listen to Stockhausen and a very experimental, avant-garde approach, and I can listen to Beethoven and have a more classical, traditional approach. Why not be able to do that with film performance?
Nicolas Cage
I haven't isolated myself. I am not living on a yacht somewhere. I am not tucked away or behind a gate somewhere. I am not flying on a private plane. I am going to the airport, I am with people, some of the interactions are good, some of them are not so good, but it keeps me in touch with being, you know, part of society.
Nicolas Cage
In this day and age, where you have a lot of comic book movies made every day, and most of them are really good boys, it's important to have a couple bad boys out there, too.
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
Actors, their greatest tool, their greatest resource is imagination. You can take things, power objects, you can recruit your dreams, you can access your memories and get there. So the idea is not to act but to just be.
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 always add a year to myself, so I'm prepared for my next birthday. So when I was 39, I was already 40.
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.
Nicolas Cage
I think a good movie is a good movie whether that falls into a genre or not.
Nicolas Cage
I know what it's like to meet someone you admire and have them be a complete jerk.
Nicolas Cage
The fact that 'Astro Boy' appealed to me as a boy in America was proof that the story and character transcend cultural stereotypes.
Nicolas Cage
You often feel like you are on a high wire with no net productions because you have to rely on spontaneity and come up with ideas on the spur of the moment - and then what happens is that there is electricity to it that gets caught.
Nicolas Cage
