“I don’t want to be thought of as a hypocrite,” Cage says. “I’m sorry if that sounds pretentious.”
"You know, what was interesting about Face/Off — and I could've mentioned Vampire's Kiss," he elaborated."Vampire's Kiss was a little movie I made where I was able to explore my more abstract dreams with film performance. I was sadly playing a character who was losing his mind that he was beginning to think he was the vampire from the original Nosferatu movie. And when you're playing a character whose losing his mind, he can believe he's Nosferatu.
"And that was cool, these facial expressions and what not. But Face/Off was a big studio movie that I made at Paramount and I was able to use what I learned from this little Vampire's Kiss movie and put it in this giant movie and it worked. I was like, 'People really dig this.'" Colbert also brought up an interview in which the"National Treasure" actor said he preferred being called a"thespian" as opposed to an"actor."
"I'm curious why being pretentious is appealing to you?" joked Colbert, who added that he doesn't pronounce the 'T' in his name because he is also pretentious.
