“ One day, one of my dreams is to someday get to do Nemo in '20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.' ”
I always say to myself that if I can make a movie that makes a kid smile or gives them some hope or something to get excited about, then I'm applying myself in the best way that I can. I don't think that just goes for kids. I think that it goes for adults, as well, and for families.
~ Nicolas Cage
Actors, their greatest tool, their greatest resource is imagination. You can take things, power objects, you can recruit your dreams, you can access your memories and get there. So the idea is not to act but to just be.
I'll speak for myself, but there's a lot of humor to be found in sarcasm and darkness. You talk to any paramedic, they survive by developing a pretty off-kilter sense of humor.
Someone like Vincent Price or somebody like Christopher Lee, they never won an award, and it doesn't matter. They're cool.
