Nic Cage Movie Quotes

Since I was on a roll giving you best of the best movie quotes of all time, I couldn’t resist putting together a best of the best Nic Cage movie quotes, as well. While we know Nic (the man of my dreams) didn’t write these best of the best movie quotes, he did deliver the lines in the most passionate of fashions, true to Nic Cage form.

I am not purporting to be anything other than one obsessed Nic Cage admirer, with shrines and movie collections and continued attention to his latest adventures on and off the screen. I am merely presenting what I think are some of the greatest, most memorable lines—the best of the best of Nic Cage movie quotes:


1. “Y'know, I could eat a peach for hours.”

Cage’s smarmy Castor Troy says this in Face/Off.

2. “The way your head works is God's own private mystery.” [To girlfriend, Lula, played by Laura Dern]

Nic’s Sailor Ripley, in Wild at Heart.

10. “Rule number 1: Don't work where you live.”

Cage’s con man, Roy Waller, in Matchstick Men.”

11. “Look, Doc, I spent last Tuesday watching fibers on my carpet. And the whole time I was watching my carpet, I was worrying that I, I might vomit. And the whole time, I was thinking, "I'm a grown man. I should know what goes on my head." And the more I thought about it... the more I realized that I should just blow my brains out and end it all. But then I thought, well, if I thought more about blowing my brains out... I start worrying about what that was going to do to my goddamn carpet

Cage’s cleanliness-obsessed con man, Roy Waller, in Matchstick Men.

12. [asked by Maggie—played by Meg Ryan--if he doesn’t know what a pear tastes like]: “I don't know what a pear tastes like to you.”
