Nicolas Cage
Every great story seems to begin with a snake.
Nicolas Cage
Hollywood didn't know if I was an actor or a nut or if I was this crazy character I was playing. I had developed an image of being a little bit unusual, different and wild.
Nicolas Cage
Nobody ever thinks clearly at the airport.
Nicolas Cage
I happen to still like really dark, dramatic, fractured characters. They're the reason I got into movies.
