Nicolas Cage

Helen Mirren is someone that I have really admired ever since I saw her in 'Excalibur.' That was the first thing I said to her. 'I loved you as Morgan Le Fay.'

I think I jump around more when I'm alone.

I think what makes people fascinating is conflict, it's drama, it's the human condition. Nobody wants to watch perfection.

I get asked all the time if I want to do more dramatic acting, and I really doubt that dramatic actors get asked if they want to do more comedies. I don't really know why that is.

When I do my makeup, it kind of helps me get into the character that I'm trying to portray.

As a writer, I try to do different things, but I'm not going to become a darker artist or turn into Radiohead overnight. I don't think that's my style.
