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.

Image
Yeah, my real name is Coppola. I changed it because they'd think I was some nepotism-oriented kid.

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

Zoology has always been interesting to me. Nature is fascinating.
Nicolas Cage
Image
When you start a movie, it's not like other kinds of work that you have when you know your boss for years or colleagues for years. You're meeting everyone, mostly, for the first time. You have to get comfortable with those people so you can perform, because the first thing that is going to shut you down is any kind of anxiety.

I would say that I'm 98 percent skeptical, but the other 2 percent [is] open for the possibility of things.
Nicolas Cage
Image
It's a family that's loaded with grudges and passion. We come from a long line of robbers and highwaymen in Italy, you know. Killers, even.
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.
