The thinking of John Cage derived from Duchamp and Dada. I was not interested in that.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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.
Cage always wanted to know what my structure was, if I had one. I often did have some sense of the time structure. Then he'd make a different one for the music.
Dada was an extreme protest against the physical side of painting. It was a metaphysical attitude.
I'd always thought Cage's 'Root of an Unfocus' would be great in a movie.
I love Nic Cage. He was so much fun to work with.
It gives us a look into a world that's very much like 'Traffic' was for drugs, this movie is for gun running. Dark at times, but I think Nic Cage is an incredible person to watch and very entertaining.
I don't know if you've noticed it. But Duchamp was magnificent.
My father was a sort of John Wayne Texan who'd worked as a cowboy when he was young. He'd participated in rattlesnake round-ups and swum with copperheads.
My father has always been the heart of my Penn Cage novels.
He who is conceived in a cage yearns for the cage.
