Nicolas Cage

"I have a love / hate relationship with the city of New Orleans, which is the strongest kind of relationship."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"I think that if you go about making movies to win Oscars, you're really going about it the wrong way."

"I try to make two movies a year. To me, that's not too much. On top of that, I like to work."

"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 I use an outdated cell phone, but I'm fine with it."

"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."

"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."

"I'm not really gadget oriented. I'm not into technology or computers. I'm not good at interfacing with that sort of gear."

"It's amazing marrying someone who wants nothing to do with Hollywood."

"My father once said, 'If you're in the desert and you're dying of thirst, are you going to drink a glass of blood or are you going to drink a glass of water?' I think what he was trying to say, interesting coming from my blood father, is sometimes there are people in your family that can be toxic."

"Someone like Vincent Price or somebody like Christopher Lee, they never won an award, and it doesn't matter. They're cool."
