Cage's Music of Changes was a further indication that the arts in general were beginning to consciously deal with the "given" material and, to varying degrees, liberating them from the inherited, functional concepts of control.
Earle Brown

Democracy is the art and science of running the circus from the monkey cage.
H. L. Mencken

Todd Barry

I have a tendency to kick it up. I like to rattle the cage.

I love my accent, I thought it was useful in Gone In 60 Seconds because the standard villain is upper class or Cockney. My Northern accent would be an odd clash opposite Nic Cage.
Christopher Eccleston

I love Nic Cage. He was so much fun to work with.
Diane Kruger

I never thought much of the courage of a lion tamer. Inside the cage he is at least safe from people.

Timothy Spall

It gives us a look into a world that's very much like 'Traffic' was for drugs, this movie is for gun running. Dark at times, but I think Nic Cage is an incredible person to watch and very entertaining.
Jared Leto

It was dreadful. They tried to put the little redhead in a cage.
Sarah Ferguson

Like dogs in a wheel, birds in a cage, or squirrels in a chain, ambitious men still climb and climb, with great labor, and incessant anxiety, but never reach the top.
