Nicolas Cage's Insane Future

NICOLAS Cage says he wants to start playing "insane" characters.

Speaking in a break from filming in the States, the actor has insisted his acting choices are like a form of art.

"You can think of film acting as other art forms that are abstract like jazz music or abstract painting," he said.

"One of the ways to do it is to play a character that is really high on drugs like Bad Lieutenant, another way is to play characters that are from somewhere else and then it's all bets are off like Drive Angry," he explained.

Nic jokingly added: "Another way is to play someone that is just completely insane and that's next!"
