Nicolas Cage

I don't have a problem with over-the-top. I have a problem with under-the-top.

I like to take risks. I like to fall on my face.

I'm not an actor, I'm a shaman.

I don't try to be weird. I just am weird.

I'm a character actor, and I like to play characters.

I'm not interested in being a movie star. I'm interested in being an artist.

I like to experiment. I like to push the envelope.

I'm not afraid to fail. I'm afraid to not try.

I'm not interested in playing it safe. I'm interested in playing it dangerous.

I'm not interested in being normal. I'm interested in being extraordinary.

I'm not interested in being conventional. I'm interested in being unconventional.

I'm not interested in being predictable. I'm interested in being unpredictable.

I'm not interested in being contained. I'm interested in being expansive.

I'm not interested in being limited. I'm interested in being limitless.

I'm not interested in being restrained. I'm interested in being uninhibited.

I'm not interested in being held back. I'm interested in going forward.

I'm not interested in being a student. I'm interested in being a teacher.

I'm not interested in being a celebrity. I'm interested in being a human being.

I'm not interested in being powerful. I'm interested in being peaceful.

I'm not interested in being anything other than myself.
