I'll speak for myself, but there's a lot of humor to be found in sarcasm and darkness. You talk to any paramedic, they survive by developing a pretty off-kilter sense of humor.
Quote by -Nicolas Cage
I'm not afraid to play ugly - look at 'Adaptation.' I looked like a turd that a cat had coughed up.
Quote by -Nicolas Cage
It may come as a surprise to people, but I'm actually quite boring and normal. What do I do? I read books. I drive my kid to school. I have lunch with my wife. I pick my kid up from school. I go home.
Quote by -Nicolas Cage

Quote by -Nicolas Cage
I don't want you to think that I'm up late reading a stack of Spider-Man comics and eating a tray of lemon cookies while sucking my thumb. I'm not doing that. But I am loyal to the influences of my childhood.
Quote by -Nicolas Cage
I'm the first to admit that I like going to, or my memories at least of going to Clint Eastwood movies or Charles Bronson or James Bond.
Quote by -Nicolas Cage
I would definitely return to Austria. They were all good experiences for me, but definitely Austria because there were some ancient Celtic, sacred sites that were in the forest that were quite beautiful.
Quote by -Nicolas Cage
I've always had a soft spot for comic books. I learned to read from them. The words in them were so interesting.
Quote by -Nicolas Cage
I bought a Yamaha-1 and I was doing 180 miles per hour home on the 405 and that's really, really crazy but I did it.

Guy Pearce is very precise and clear about understanding the rhythm and the music of a scene.

Children, to me, are of the utmost importance. They're really the future, aren't they?

The end of the world is on people's minds. We have the power to destroy or save ourselves, but the question is what do you do with that responsibility.
Quote by -Nicolas Cage
I have a love / hate relationship with the city of New Orleans, which is the strongest kind of relationship.
Quote by -Nicolas Cage
Passion is very important to me. If you stop enjoying things, you've got to look at it, because it can lead to all kinds of depressing scenarios.
Quote by -Nicolas Cage
Mel Blanc is a hero because of what he could do with his voice for all the Looney Tunes, the Warner Brothers cartoons, to be the voice of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd, Porky Pig.
Quote by -Nicolas Cage
I hit the ground running, without a lot of training, so I had to do whatever I could do to survive as a professional, and if that meant being that character 24/7 and acting out, I was going to do that. I lived those characters, I brought them home with me.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Nicolas Cage
I'm at the point now where I know I'm doing something right when a movie gets mixed reviews, because then I'm not in the box. I don't want to make it too easy for people and I don't want to make it too easy for myself. I want to try something unusual.
Quote by -Nicolas Cage
Snakes are sometimes perceived as evil, but they are also perceived as medicine. If you look at an ambulance, there's the two snakes on the side of the ambulance. The caduceus, or the staff of Hermes, there's the two snakes going up it, which means that the venom can also be healing.
Quote by -Nicolas Cage
I love all animals. I have a fascination with fish, birds, whales - sentient life - insects, reptiles.
Quote by -Nicolas Cage
I've always maintained that I see myself as a student. There's always something to learn and be challenged by and hopefully grow from.
Quote by -Nicolas Cage
Film has lost something in the translation to high tech. It's become so super-real. It's with digital this and stereo that, and everything's like a CD.
Quote by -Nicolas Cage
One of the things that's interesting to me is I find things like caffeine and stunts actually relax me. When they're putting a bit of gel on my arm and lighting me on fire, or when I'm about to go into a high-speed car chase or rev a motorcycle up pretty fast, I find everything else around me slows down.
Quote by -Nicolas Cage
At a young age, I was interested in comic books, which was really how I learnt to read. The name Cage came from a comic book character called Power Man.
Quote by -Nicolas Cage
I'm an enormous admirer of Christopher Lee. He's somebody, along with Vincent Price, who I celebrate, and I wanted my movies to show that celebration and that honoring of these great film stars that were unafraid to go into horror and Grand Guignol and the macabre.
Quote by -Nicolas Cage
It's a family that's loaded with grudges and passion. We come from a long line of robbers and highwaymen in Italy, you know. Killers, even.
Quote by -Nicolas Cage
I'm not really gadget oriented. I'm not into technology or computers. I'm not good at interfacing with that sort of gear.
Quote by -Nicolas Cage
I was always shocked when I went to the doctor's office and they did my X-ray and didn't find that I had eight more ribs than I should have or that my blood was the color green.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Nicolas Cage
I have dogs, and it's no secret that I find reptiles interesting, but the thing about reptiles is that they really just wanna be left alone, and I understand them. It's, 'Don't pick me up, stop holding me, don't look at me, just leave me alone.' I have to admit, sometimes I feel like that.
Quote by -Nicolas Cage
Actors, their greatest tool, their greatest resource is imagination. You can take things, power objects, you can recruit your dreams, you can access your memories and get there. So the idea is not to act but to just be.
Quote by -Nicolas Cage
I believe that there's a way to question authority with manners, with dignity. There's no reason to be rude about it.
Quote by -Nicolas Cage
I use technology for communication, but I don't have a Blackberry or an iPhone. I use an outdated cell phone, but I'm fine with it.
