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.

More quotes by Nicolas Cage
My mother was a dancer, so I like to use the body as part of the instrument of acting.
Nicolas Cage
I came out of independent film, that's my roots.
Nicolas Cage
Helen Mirren is someone that I have really admired ever since I saw her in Excalibur. That was the first thing I said to her. I loved you as Morgan Le Fay.
Nicolas Cage
I'm not afraid to play ugly - look at 'Adaptation.' I looked like a turd that a cat had coughed up.
Nicolas Cage
Without mentioning any names, I looked at pretty much every story that may come to your mind about a politician on the rise who was stopped short or dragged down by personal flaws and then became just a media storm. I see this as a thing that continues to happen in America and I wanted to say something about that.
Nicolas Cage
I do like characters that have flaws, some sort of pathos to them that they are trying to sort out.
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
I would like to find a way to embrace what Led Zeppelin did, in filmmaking.
Nicolas Cage
There's a fine line between the Method actor and the schizophrenic.
Nicolas Cage
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.
Nicolas Cage
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
I think that 'Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance' was mentally taxing, if only because I had to go to a Christmas party shortly after I had wrapped photography in Romania at two in the morning as the Ghost Rider. The invitation had a Christmas ornament on it with Ghost Rider's face on it as a tree.
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
The biggest problem for me was feeling that as I became more balanced and a better man that I wouldn't have the fire to create from.
Nicolas Cage
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
I try to make two movies a year. To me, that's not too much. On top of that, I like to work.
Nicolas Cage
Generally my instinct is to not do biographical movies. I want to build characters and not be locked into playing a part in history.
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
I haven't made anything I don't believe in. I've always started a movie with a song in my heart, and even when I'm a little unclear about it, something magical happens and it comes into focus in a way that I'm feeling good about.
Nicolas Cage
I really would like to be able to face all my superstitions that may have existed and walk under the ladder and do everything you're not supposed to do.
Nicolas Cage
