Someone like Vincent Price or somebody like Christopher Lee, they never won an award, and it doesn't matter. They're cool. - Nicolas Cage

Personally, my interests are ancient history and ancient civilizations. In my own life, I'd like to go to places like Easter Island. - 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 generally enjoy the rehearsal process because that's where you can share your ideas, get your thoughts and feelings out and see whether or not they're going to land, whether or not people are going to agree with them, particularly the director.

So I'd have to find something that was really about weird human behavior for me to laugh. - Nicolas Cage

I care about the connection with the audience. Film is such a powerful medium. Movies can change the way people think. - Nicolas Cage
I am not a demon. I am a lizard, a shark, a heat-seeking panther. I want to be Bob Denver on acid playing the accordion. - Nicolas Cage
I always say, "Well if you think it's over the top, then tell me where the top is first. I don't think anyone can, but if you can tell me where the top is, then I'll tell you whether or not I'm over it. - Nicolas Cage
