More quotes by 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
If you have people that totally support you and have your back, I feel like you have all the confidence in the world, and you believe that you can do things that most people can't achieve. I feel that's really important.
Nicolas Cage
God bless my father, but he always spoke in this continental, literary accent, probably because he was a professor of comparative literature and he made the decision to speak with distinction.
Nicolas Cage
I always wanted to find a way to apply my acting in a big mad monster movie where I was transforming into this scary entity.
Nicolas Cage
Personally, my interests are ancient history and ancient civilizations. In my own life, I'd like to go to places like Easter Island.
Nicolas Cage
I have a love/ hate relationship with the city of New Orleans, which is the strongest kind of relationship.
Nicolas Cage
I like the idea of being involved in pictures that can entertain the entire family and can stimulate youngsters into looking at picture books. There's nothing wrong with that.
Nicolas Cage
As a child, these colourful superheroes that could fly, or were horrifying like Ghost Rider and the Hulk, with this tremendous rage or these supernatural powers, provided an escape for me from my mundane existence, from my lack of friends or my inability to communicate well with people. They liberated me.
Nicolas Cage
I'm a seeker. I'm very much a believer in science. But I do think there are times when science and mysticism intersect.
Nicolas Cage
I'm sticking my tongue out in scenes to try to make that work in 3D. I'm thinking I'll try to get my tongue all the way out to the second row of the audience.
Nicolas Cage
I want to always find new ways of reinventing myself.
Nicolas Cage
Shock is still fun. I won't ever shut the door on it.
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
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
Remakes are always a challenge and they always are sitting ducks.
Nicolas Cage
I'm always going to judge somebody on their work ethic, and whether or not they made me feel something, or whether or not I felt they did a good job. To me, it's important to try to block anything personal out and look at the performance, in any field.
Nicolas Cage
All movies on some level can aspire to be more than just whatever the label is of the movie.
Nicolas Cage
I had been making a lot of family oriented movies, which I also like. But I still have a passion for the midnight audience and for midnight movies.
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
I've always maintained that I see myself as a student. There's always something to learn and be challenged by and hopefully grow from.
Nicolas Cage
