The Quotable Nicholas Cage
Season of The Witch follows a 14th century Crusader Behmen (Nicholas Cage) and his brother in arms Felson (Ron Perlman) leave the church crusaders and return to their homeland only to find it devastated by the Black Plague. After the Church finally catches up with them, they demand the two to transport an accused witch to a remote and sacred abbey. The accused witch is believed to be to root of the Plague. They must struggle to survive and reach the abbey – where they discover there are much darker forces at hand and saving mankind might be harder than originally thought.
In celebration of Season of The Witch, which is out today on Blu-ray & DVD, 20th Century-Fox Home Entertainment compiled some of their favorite “Cage sayings” both from his epic films and from “real life”.
Behmen (Season of The Witch): “I pity any man whose last face they see is yours Felson.”
Johnny Blaze (Ghost Rider): “He may have my soul, but he doesn’t have my spirit.”
Ben Sanderson (Leaving Las Vegas): “I came here to drink myself to death.”
Dr. Stanley Goodspeed (The Rock): “I love pressure. I eat it for breakfast.”
H.I. McDunnough (Raising Arizona): “We figured there was too much happiness here for just the two of us, so we figured the next logical step was to have us a critter. “
Ben Sanderson (Leaving Las Vegas): “I need my drinky.”
Charlie Kaufman (Adaptation): “You and I share the same DNA. Is there anything more lonely than that?”
Sailor (Wild at Heart): “Did I ever tell ya that this here jacket represents a symbol of my individuality, and my belief in personal freedom?”
Roy (Matchstick Men): “For some people, money is… money is a foreign film without subtitles.”
From “real life”:
“I was always shocked when I went to the doctor’s office and they did my X-ray and didn’t find that I had eight more ribs than I should have or that my blood was the color green.”

“Shock is still fun. I won’t ever shut the door on it.”
