Halloween has always been fascinating to me from a very young age. I think any actor would be fascinated by Halloween because it's one of the only holidays that advocates dressing up in makeup and costumes and transforming oneself.

More quotes by Nicolas Cage
You get dinged for wanting to do a comedy, then wanting to do a big-budget action film, and then wanting to do an indie. But you can't let other people trying to label you get in the way of trying to do something artistically.
Nicolas Cage
Feel like real time unfolding. It's going to smack of reality and feel as real as it can ... The buildings themselves aren't (shown) ... The movie's about what happened amongst this handful of men when the buildings came down.
Nicolas Cage
I would like to find a way to embrace what Led Zeppelin did, in filmmaking.
Nicolas Cage
I think that if you go about making movies to win Oscars, you’re really going about it the wrong way.
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
First of all the criteria that I have that goes into any career decision is whether or not I have the life experience, emotional resources to play the part truthfully or the imagination. Second, would be the director.
Nicolas Cage
Everything we do impacts someone else's life.
Nicolas Cage
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
I invite the entire spectrum, shall we call it, of feeling. Because that is my greatest resource as a film actor. I need to be able to feel everything, which is why I refuse to go on any kind of medication. Not that I need to! But my point is, I wouldn't even explore that, because it would get in the way of my instrument.
Nicolas Cage
I will promise you that if I can give you two good scenes -- which is what I always try to do in every movie -- then I feel like I'm doing my job.
Nicolas Cage
I've really had good luck working with younger actors. Every younger actor that I have worked with has always been really on top of their game and fascinating to watch.
Nicolas Cage
I'm a seeker. I'm very much a believer in science. But I do think there are times when science and mysticism intersect.
Nicolas Cage
My mother was a dancer, so I like to use the body as part of the instrument of acting.
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
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
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
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
I came out of independent film, that's my roots.
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 went to New Orleans for the first time for Wild at Heart, and I kept going back to make more movies there. I've become very close to the city and part of me does feel like a New Orleanian.
Nicolas Cage
