It is our collective and individual responsibility to preserve and tend to the environment in which we all live.
When I am cast in a movie where I feel that the woman's part is more interesting, I usually start thinking about Spencer Tracy and Fred Astaire. They seem to be the most clear actors when working with women. - Jack Nicholson
When I come up against a director who has a concept that I don't agree with, or maybe I just haven't thought of it or whatever, I'd be more prone to go with them than my own because I want to be out of control as an actor, I want them to have the control, otherwise it's going to become predictably my work, and that's not fun. - Jack Nicholson
When I was in high school, I earned the pimple award and every other gross-out award. - Jack Nicholson
When we make mistakes they call it evil. When God makes mistakes they call it Nature! - Jack Nicholson
With comedy, you have to do it right. In a drama, there's a lot of different ways to succeed in a moment. But comedy comes from reality. You can't try to be funny. - Jack Nicholson
You know, I think I understand what you're like now. You're very beautiful and you think men are only interested in you because you're beautiful. But you want them to be interested in you because you're you. The problem is, aside from all that beauty, you're not very interesting. You're rude, you're hostile, you're sullen, you're withdrawn... oh, I know- you want someone to look past all that at the real person underneath. But the only reason anyone would bother to look past all that is because you're beautiful. Ironic, isn't it? In an odd way you're your own problem. - Jack Nicholson
You're anachronistic when you know that your feelings aren't going to have any effect on anything. - Jack Nicholson
All movies on some level can aspire to be more than just whatever the label is of the movie. - Nicolas Cage
God bless my father, but he always spoke in this continental, literary accent, probably because he was a professor of comparative literature and he made the decision to speak with distinction. - 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
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
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 care about the connection with the audience. Film is such a powerful medium. Movies can change the way people think. - Nicolas Cage
I do enjoy animated movies. I really love anime and movies like 'Spirited Away' and 'Howl's Moving Castle.' - 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 don't find the same things funny that many other people seem to find funny. I don't really respond to sex jokes and things like that. Some of my friends look at me and go, "Come on, Nic, that was my best joke. Why aren't you laughing?" I go, "I really don't know why I'm not laughing. I'm sort of out of sync with it." So I'd have to find something that was really about weird human behavior for me to laugh. - Nicolas Cage
I don't think movies are the reason why this violence exists, I think it's going to happen whether movies are there or not. - Nicolas Cage
I don't want a perfect character, I want a character who has, as strange as it sounds, some humanity, some flaws, some needs. - Nicolas Cage
I don't want to just do independent movies and I don't want to just do adventure films. I enjoy both, and I think both are cogent. - Nicolas Cage
I don't want to sit around by the pool luxuriating with a margarita. That's just not what I want to do. - Nicolas Cage
I find children inspiring. The way they look at the world. The magical world they live in, to me, is inspiring. - Nicolas Cage
