Nicolas Cage Admitted That Sometimes He Feel like an Outsider

The Oscar winning actor, Nicolas Cage’s Hollywood life looks like a box of secret! The 50 years old versatile actor had made some odd types of scrip selection in his entire acting life.

The viewers witnessed some completely different types of movies, in which Nicolas acted. Starting from well admired movies like 1987’s ‘Moonstruck’ and 1995’s ‘Leaving Las Vegas’ to box office flop movies like 2011’s ‘Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance’ and supernatural action packed movie ‘Drive Angry’.

Nicolas in an interview said

The famous actor in an interview with The Times Magazine of Britain, told about the ups and down in his Hollywood career. He also mentioned about his life, critics and strange work.

Nicolas said, “I’m proud of the chances I’ve taken. They haven’t all worked, but I had a concept and I’ve pushed for it.” The father of two goes on adding, “It’s probably annoyed a lot of critics and a lot of people who didn’t get in step with it, but I’m proud I did it. Tolstoy said something to the effect of, it doesn’t matter whether the response you get is love or hatred, because you’ve created an effect. What’s not worthwhile is when it sits there and people forget about it. But whether people love it or hate it, at least you’ve done something. That gives me some solace.”

Sometimes I feel like an outsider

The star of ‘Face/Off’ rather than acknowledging on the on-screen bombs, stated that there must be some other reasons due to which the critics are not appreciating his vision. He admitted, “Sometimes I feel like an outsider”. He continued, “When you’re endowed with an original way of thinking, or with a highly active imagination, you can become quickly ostracized. You can feel isolated and misunderstood.”

Cage also said that nowadays actors’ private lives are being inquired, “But now people are more interested in their lives than their performances. It’s not about what they do on camera, but what I would describe as their dirty laundry. I’ve had my share of that.”
