Twenty-two interesting quotes from actor 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. ~Nicolas Cage

I've kind of found over the years that when your acting is really working, you're in it, but you're not all consumed by it. You have an objective point of view on it. You're having a little bit of fun with it. At the end of the day, I was able to switch gears, go home and be excited with it. ~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. I feel good about the bad reviews because I feel like I've affected them on some level. They may not know what I was trying to do but they felt something. ~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. ~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

To be a good actor you have to be something like a criminal, to be willing to break the rules to strive for something new. ~Nicolas Cage

My father was always getting excited about something. It's genetically inside me somewhere.
I cry a lot. My emotions are very close to my surface. I don't want to hold anything in so it it festers and turns into pus - a pustule of emotion that explodes into a festering cesspool of depression. ~Nicolas Cage

If I let it, it can suck. It can make you feel pretty rotten but I try not to dwell on that. I move on. After all, I've had 20 years of being an actor and dealing with bad reviews, or having the door shut in my face and rejection. So at a certain point, you do get kind of callused. I've had good reviews too, but inevitably everyone's gonna get the nasty things said about them. You just have to learn how to cope with it and I think I've figured that out. ~Nicolas Cage
