Nicolas Cage
I do like characters that have flaws, some sort of pathos to them that they are trying to sort out.
Nicolas Cage

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.

Halloween has always been fascinating to me from a very young age. I think any actor would be fascinated by Halloween because it's one of the only holidays that advocates dressing up in makeup and costumes and transforming oneself.

I always say to myself that if I can make a movie that makes a kid smile or gives them some hope or something to get excited about, then I'm applying myself in the best way that I can. I don't think that just goes for kids. I think that it goes for adults, as well, and for families.
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
As I got older, with my work, I became aware of the responsibility of film, and I feel one of the best ways I can apply myself as an actor, is to go beyond movie stardom and celebrity.
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

Nicolas Cage
I never studied dance, but if you look at 'Wild At Heart,' my mother saw that movie and said, 'You are a dancer. Look at how you're moving: all that strange energy is like modern dance.'
Nicolas Cage
It's kind of a unique concept, but it's totally real, isn't it? ... I mean, these paramedics put themselves in incredibly stressful situations, are killing themselves to save our lives and they're not really regarded or appreciated.
Nicolas Cage
I think a good movie is a good movie whether that falls into a genre or not.
Nicolas Cage
Every great story seems to begin with a snake.
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
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've always had an interest in Louisiana, especially New Orleans.
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
