Nicolas Cage Explains Why He’s Never Retiring From Acting

Movies

No, no, no. No, no. That can’t happen. To do what I do in cinema has been like a guardian angel for me, and I need it.

[Laughs] What’s funny is, my argument with people who go, ‘You work too much,’ was ‘I like working, and it’s healthy, I’m happy when I’m working, and by the way, guys like Cagney and Bogart, they were doing hundreds of movies.’ And then I went, ‘I’d better check that,’ and I went, ‘Oops.’
