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
It's kind of a unique concept, but it's totally real, isn't it? ... I mean, these paramedics put themselves in incredibly stressful situations, are killing themselves to save our lives and they're not really regarded or appreciated.
Nicolas Cage
Just because you're a man doesn't mean that you can't raise your kid. I think that families should stay together, but if you are a single father, don't give up no matter what they say.
Nicolas Cage
I believe that everybody has the right to believe what they want to believe and to knock somebody's faith and religion is foolish, whatever it may be - Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism.

Nicolas Cage
My definition of a father is someone who empowers their children.
Nicolas Cage
I don't want you to think that I'm up late reading a stack of Spider-Man comics and eating a tray of lemon cookies while sucking my thumb. I'm not doing that. But I am loyal to the influences of my childhood.
Nicolas Cage
If I do do a sequel, I'm going to have to know for sure that the script is better than the original. So I'm going to be very careful about that because I'm not eager to repeat myself.
Nicolas Cage
Nobody can make a movie as exciting as Jerry Bruckheimer. When it's a Jerry Bruckheimer movie that it's going to have lots of chrome and gloss, it's going to be sexy, and it's going to be big and fun.
Nicolas Cage
I know what it's like to meet someone you admire and have them be a complete jerk.
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
I do like characters that have flaws, some sort of pathos to them that they are trying to sort out.
Nicolas Cage
I definitely went through my magic phase. I think all little boys do at some point or another - they get fascinated by magic tricks.
Nicolas Cage
Don't lose the best thing in your life just because you are not sure.
Nicolas Cage
