More quotes by Nicolas Cage

'Knowing' is one of those movies where you're going to get the spectacle, and you're going to have the entertainment in the grand science fiction tradition. But also, it will perhaps stimulate some discussion to help you sort out on your own where you might choose to go in terms of your own needs. Now, I say that without preaching.
Nicolas Cage
For me, acting was a way of taking destructive energy and doing something productive with it, and in that way it was quite a life saver.
