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 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
Image
Shock is still fun. I won't ever shut the door on it.

Image
I went to New Orleans for the first time for Wild at Heart, and I kept going back to make more movies there. I've become very close to the city and part of me does feel like a New Orleanian.
Nicolas Cage
Image
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
Image
I like being at that place where you can either fall or stand. That's where I think you really have a shot at doing something truthful.
Nicolas Cage
Image
Movies work, in my opinion, on the best level when they're more enigmatic, when we don't say it's this or that and where it raises more questions than answers.
Nicolas Cage
Image
I have a love-hate relationship with New Orleans, which is the strongest sort of relationship. I've had some extraordinary, beautiful, poetic experiences in this city and I've had some terrible experiences in this city. I'm drawn to New Orleans, in many ways feel I grew up in New Orleans, even though I'm from the West.

I don't know if my wife left me because of my drinking or I started drinking 'cause my wife left me.
Nicolas Cage
Image
It's always exciting when you can go into a mode where you can be both spontaneous and choreographed. Sort of in control and out of control at the same time.
Nicolas Cage
Image
One of the great bonuses of being a film actor is that I get to go to different places, meet inspiring people and learn different things. So all those details add up.
Nicolas Cage
Image
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
Image
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.
Nicolas Cage
Image
I think a good movie is a good movie whether that falls into a genre or not.
Nicolas Cage
Image
I think what makes people fascinating is conflict, it's drama, it's the human condition. Nobody wants to watch perfection.
Nicolas Cage
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've always had a soft spot for comic books.
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.
Nicolas Cage
Image
I don't want to sit around by the pool luxuriating with a margarita. That's just not what I want to do.
Nicolas Cage
Image
You can't make your choices based on what critics think. You have to make your choices based on what's honest for you.
Nicolas Cage
Image
'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.
