I don't think many people have a very good understanding of leisure and the importance it plays in our lives. - Jack Nicholson
I'm an actor who they said was wrinkled and balding and everything else when I was in my early 30's. Most of the people who wrote that who thought they were younger than me are now bald and wrinkled. - Jack Nicholson
It's a slight stretch of the imagination but most people are alike in most ways so I've never had any trouble identifying with the character that I'm playing. - Jack Nicholson
It's the post-literate generation that is most disturbing to a movie-maker. The explosions and the knifings. People like to go to what's hot and you can't get past a certain gross unless you involve children who go more than once. - Jack Nicholson
There is no way you can get people to believe you on screen if they know who you really are through television. - Jack Nicholson
I care about the connection with the audience. Film is such a powerful medium. Movies can change the way people think. - Nicolas Cage
I got a little tired of movies where I had to shoot people. I got to thinking about the power of film and what that power is. The power is in fact that it really can change people's minds. - Nicolas Cage
I like to work with young people because young people haven't had their dreams kicked out of them yet. They're full of confidence and imagination and vision and when they score, that all get's empowered. - Nicolas Cage
If you have people that totally support you and have your back, I feel like you have all the confidence in the world, and you believe that you can do things that most people can't achieve. I feel that's really important. - Nicolas Cage
People often say that you should never work with child actors. I think that's all wrong. Children have not had the imagination kicked out of them by life experience and adulthood. So, they still are very much alive with that kind of magical thinking which enables an actor to believe they're in these circumstances and make them real to you. - 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
Sometimes people think I'm wearing a wig when I'm not wearing a wig, and then sometimes they think I'm not wearing a wig when I am wearing a wig. - Nicolas Cage
We do see Gong Li, Zhang Ziyi and Chow Yun Fat, but it's very rare to see the Chinese male actor in Hollywood movies, which is something I take great umbrage with. You know, my son is Asian. He may want to direct one day; he may want to be an actor like his father - and I want that to be open to him. - Nicolas Cage
If this man can express himself with the soul and the willpower that he has, even in singing, he certainly will be a big star. - Luciano Pavarotti
I'm not a politician, I'm a musician. I care about giving people a place where they can go to enjoy themselves and to begin to live again. To the man you have to give the spirit, and when you give him the spirit, you have done everything. - Luciano Pavarotti
Miserere ... You know I don't want to be a talent scout, but sometimes when I find someone very talented and very unique and different, if it's possible to give him a chance, why not? I'm very happy and very proud to find someone young -- a great musician or singer that I can write a song for and help him in a way. - Luciano Pavarotti
