I love art, I love music. I can listen to Stockhausen and a very experimental, avant-garde approach, and I can listen to Beethoven and have a more classical, traditional approach. Why not be able to do that with film performance?
Nicolas Cage
Image
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.

One day, one of my dreams is to someday get to do Nemo in '20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.'

Film acting is one of the only industries where you're criticized for working hard. In any other industry, it's considered a quality and something to behold.

Peter Fonda is the reason I became a motorcyclist. I saw Easy Rider and I bought a motorcycle the next day, and I rode it all the way from LA to San Francisco.

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.

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.

I happen to still like really dark, dramatic, fractured characters. They're the reason I got into movies.

Image
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
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.

Nobody ever thinks clearly at the airport.

My mother was a dancer, so I like to use the body as part of the instrument of acting.
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've always had an interest in Louisiana, especially New Orleans.
Nicolas Cage
Image
Science fiction is a way that I can go into the abstract, go into the imagination, and audiences are still willing to go along for the ride.
Nicolas Cage
Image
There's a fine line between the Method actor and the schizophrenic.
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
As a child, these colourful superheroes that could fly, or were horrifying like Ghost Rider and the Hulk, with this tremendous rage or these supernatural powers, provided an escape for me from my mundane existence, from my lack of friends or my inability to communicate well with people. They liberated me.

Some things are true whether you believe in them or not.

I'm not afraid to play ugly - look at 'Adaptation.' I looked like a turd that a cat had coughed up.
