It is our collective and individual responsibility to preserve and tend to the environment in which we all live.
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 you can sort out in that process any elements that need to be sorted out before you're on the set, and of course that saves time and it also makes everyone more comfortable working together. - 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 guess it would fall into the stalker category more or less. I was being stalked by a mime - silent but maybe deadly. Somehow, this mime would appear on the set of Bringing Out the Dead and start doing strange things. I have no idea how it got past security. Finally, the producers took some action and I haven't seen the mime since. But it was definitely unsettling. - Nicolas Cage
I happen to still like really dark, dramatic, fractured characters. They're the reason I got into movies. - Nicolas Cage
I have a love/ hate relationship with the city of New Orleans, which is the strongest kind of relationship. - 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
I love all animals. I have a fascination with fish, birds, whales - sentient life - insects, reptiles. - Nicolas Cage
I see myself as a student. I would never call myself a master or a maestro. If you take the path of the student, that means that you have to try a little bit of everything in the hopes that you're going to learn something or strike some kind of new note or new sound or new expression in the process. I'm not going for grades. I'm going for an education. That means I'm going to continue experimenting and trying new things to try to evolve and learn. - Nicolas Cage
I think anything that opens my mind and triggers my imagination I'm reading. I like to read science fiction and imagine the character. Anything that keeps my imagination flowing. - Nicolas Cage
I think it's no secret that I've tried to take chances in my career and also in my life, and I believe to not live in fear. - Nicolas Cage
I think I've become more relaxed throughout my career. I don't feel the need to jump up and down and make a big noise to get people to pay attention to me. I don't need to do punk rock gestures or eat a cockroach or do something weird to say I exist. - Nicolas Cage
I think I've spent more time in front of a camera than off camera. That's just the way it is. - Nicolas Cage
I think that if you go about making movies to win Oscars, you're really going about it the wrong way. - 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
I was thinking about being more global in my work, which means trying more foreign countries and working with foreign filmmakers, hoping they would give me a new take on my work, a new point of view, reinvent me in some way. - Nicolas Cage
I wasn't any good at romance. I was a total nerd. My thing is, I was just too romantic. I was the romantic goofball. I wasn't cynical enough or harsh enough. I cared too much, so I always made a fool out of myself. - Nicolas Cage
I will promise you that if I can give you two good scenes -- which is what I always try to do in every movie -- then I feel like I'm doing my job. - 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
