I happen to still like really dark, dramatic, fractured characters. They're the reason I got into movies.

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.

From Nicolas Cage

I think that 'Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance' was mentally taxing, if only because I had to go to a Christmas party shortly after I had wrapped photography in Romania at two in the morning as the Ghost Rider. The invitation had a Christmas ornament on it with Ghost Rider's face on it as a tree.

From Nicolas Cage

There's a fine line between the Method actor and the schizophrenic.

From 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.

From 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.

From 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.

From Nicolas Cage

I invite the entire spectrum, shall we call it, of feeling. Because that is my greatest resource as a film actor. I need to be able to feel everything, which is why I refuse to go on any kind of medication. Not that I need to! But my point is, I wouldn't even explore that, because it would get in the way of my instrument.

From Nicolas Cage

My father was always getting excited about something. It's genetically inside me somewhere.

From 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.
