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. – Nicolas Cage
I may be alone in this, but I do sense the power of film, in that movies have the ability to literally change peoples minds. Thats pretty powerful stuff when you consider that. – Nicolas Cage
And what I like about it is it makes me happy and I think it makes a lot of people happy to go to the movies and to not think about the problems of the day or the problems of tomorrow or the yesterday and just go on for the ride and have the fun of losing oneself in a fantasy. – Nicolas Cage
Im an enormous admirer of Christopher Lee. Hes 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. – Nicolas Cage
