Nicolas Cage Slams Film Critics, Fame, Defends Bill Clinton

Translation:

Career is flat-lining. Must administer CCPR (Celeb Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation). Say "controversial" things. Whine, but claim you're not.

In spite of my rage, I’m still just Nicolas Cage...

Nick Cage is a funny guy. I mean “funny” as in odd. He’s done some real funny in movies but he’s become, over the years, more odd than anything else.

Great actor, just an idiot when it comes to politics.

Won’t help Mr. Coppola get any new roles. Ghost Rider it is. He’d better hope for an Avengers Alliance movie . . .

Tuesday nights in March find TCM highlighting old clips of interviews by Johnny Carson over the years - tonight included some comments by Truman Capote in 1972, in which he offered the opinion that most actors are “dumb”, and usually the better the actor, the dumber - “Marlon Brando is a good actor, but he’s so dumb he makes your skin crawl’, said Capote a minute before he came to the same conclusion about Jane Fonda and her political comments. Cage seems another case in point.....

Too many people are famous for being famous, not talented. That’s exactly what I’ve always thought of Cage.

SXSW has allowed Hollywood to take over. It’s now nothing but a big studio production. What started out as a venue for “unknowns” trying to break into the biz, has become the barrier they’ve always tried to get over.

Of all his films, I can watch “Knowing” again. No other is worth the bother.

Nobody can do an empty headed look of confusion with a blank stare at the same time the way Nick does.

I like the film work of Nicolas Cage, re politics, he's an idiot. I have good friends that are as politically naive as he is though.

I particularly liked him in "Leaving Las Vegas"

Why does Slick need defending? He’s made tens of millions since leaving Washington, bangs any broad who can still fog a mirror and his bagged out wife will probably be the next person to stink up the White House. He’s doing fine!

I liked his performance in “National whatever it was” where he stole the Declaration of Independence.

Also really liked Captain Correlli’s Mandolin”.

He was OK in most of his movies but those two were my favorites.

I don’t even want to know what his politics are.

"What difference does it make if Bill Clinton had an affair -- how does that affect his performance as President?"

Nick would be delivering pizza if he wasn't the nephew of Frances Ford Coppola. He grew up in Beverly Hills and got hooked up in Hollywood by his uncle. Typical bubble-head.

"In short, too many people are famous for being famous, not talented."

... stated the mercurial Nicolas Cage, in a startlingly candid display of introspection.

Cage said he was fed up with reviewers discussing his personal life instead of his acting work. “Now even the art of film criticism … now in the LA Times, the critic who reviewed Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call – New Orleans, incorporated how many homes I bought or sold into the review,” he said. “What the hell does Lindsay Lohan’s personal life have to do with her performance in The Canyons? It should always be about the work itself. What difference does it make if Bill Clinton had an affair – how does that affect his performance as president? In my opinion, I don’t want to see personal aspects of someone’s life eclipse [their] work.”
