Nicholas Cage: I was bullied and marginalized .. I reject the word actor because it means "liar"
The American artist, Nicholas Cage, explained that he did not prefer the title "actor", as he stressed that it means a liar.
"We say he's a great actor so he's a great liar," Nicholas Cage added on "Broadcast" to Variety. "So it's dangerous to sound like an idiot. I like the word theatrical because theatrical means you go to your heart and your imagination, your memories or your dreams to connect with the audience."
On the other hand, he talked about his acting strategy, and said that he liked looking at it like that, at the risk of looking completely silly and funny.
I like the idea of it being something more natural and less artificial.
Cage revealed that he started acting like a toddler when he and a friend were bullied on the school bus.
Cage has become one of the world's most popular stage actors and actresses, and has won numerous awards, including the Academy Award for Best Actor.
He admitted that he was looking forward to a return to a more refined style.
He revealed his enthusiasm for his role in "Pig", where he plays a former chef who hunts for truffles with his beloved pig.
He explained, "I learned after a period of confusion that I had been marginalized in the studio system. I would not receive invitations from them."
He continued, "I always knew it would take a young director to remember some of the films I made and I knew I might fit in with my script and rediscover me. That wouldn't happen if Michael Sarnosky didn't have an open mind to say 'Come with me'."
