More quotes by Nicolas Cage
I happen to still like really dark, dramatic, fractured characters. They're the reason I got into movies.
Nicolas Cage
I've always had a soft spot for comic books.
Nicolas Cage
When I play supernatural characters in 'Ghost Rider' or 'City Of Angels,' the possibilities are limitless. The possibilities are endless, you can do so much with that.
Nicolas Cage
When you have 400 people watching you making a movie, it doesn't go where you want it to go. It's a lot of pressure.
Nicolas Cage
I always see America as really belonging to the Native Americans. Even though I'm American, I still feel like a visitor in my own country.
Nicolas Cage
Sometimes I do love to rehearse, but I always switch it up depending on whom I'm working with.
Nicolas Cage
I'm legally unable to ride motorcycles. It's a contract that I have with my life insurance, so whenever I get a chance to do a movie and ride a bike I go for it.
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
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.
Nicolas Cage
Most of my favourite moments in film have been when I've had an opportunity to say something from scratch, something original, whether I jotted down a few lines or it came out in improvisation.
Nicolas Cage
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.
Nicolas Cage
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.
Nicolas Cage
I like being at that place where you can either fall or stand. That's where I think you really have a shot at doing something truthful.
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
Nobody ever thinks clearly at the airport.
Nicolas Cage
Those who have the ability to take action have the responsibility to take action.
Nicolas Cage
In this day and age, where you have a lot of comic book movies made every day, and most of them are really good boys, it's important to have a couple bad boys out there, too.
Nicolas Cage
Without impending on your own personal choice, there are going to be those that wear the hat of religion and those that wear the hat of science. I still don't really understand why they can't wear both hats, because personally, I think that they go beautifully together.
Nicolas Cage
I always add a year to myself, so I'm prepared for my next birthday. So when I was 39, I was already 40.
Nicolas Cage
I think that the best characters are the ones who both manage to be attractive and repulsive at the same time.
Nicolas Cage
