I'm drawn to New Orleans, in many ways feel I grew up in New Orleans, even though I'm from the West.
Nicolas Cage
I'm one of those people that feels that Americans that shouldn't do Shakespeare... The rhythms of the English language and the mannerisms of the English speech seems to work effortlessly with William Shakespeare, but when Americans do it, something seems stuck.
Nicolas Cage
My definition of a father is someone who empowers their children.
Nicolas Cage
Most of my favourite moments in film have been when I've had an opportunity to say something from scratch, something original, whether I jotted down a few lines or it came out in improvisation.
Nicolas Cage
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.
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 want to always find new ways of reinventing myself.
Nicolas Cage

Nicolas Cage

Nicolas Cage
