    "Sometimes you're a dragon, sometimes you're a bunny"--Nic Cage, saying the most Nic Cage line ever, but also a quotable truth about life.

    Peggy Sue Got Married is such a wonderful movie. Nic is great in it, and I think the voice works because his character is such a vulnerable guy. I never even thought his character was even comedic, but the movie itself is sad, funny, and brilliant all at once. His uncle is such a genius.

    Nic Cage is a much better actor than many of the hollywood "big names". He doesn't just play himself doing another job like a lot of oscar baiting actors do.

    I would have loved, if they'd made an alternative version of Lynch's "Wild At Heart", with Cage using that exact same voice. That would've given this movie a different spin entirely, LOL😂

    My dad’s nickname was Gumby. Most everyone called him that.

    Nic is a great actor. Him and Conan would make a great comedy team.
