Nicolas Cage reveals he abandoned his impulsive lifestyle and now lives a "monastic life" for his young daughter
“In my own personal life, for example, when you met me seven years ago, I was more interested in other habits than I am now. I am extraordinarily boring right now. I live a very monastic life. I am not taking any risks whatsoever if I can avoid it. I am really going the other way."
"And I am all about raising my three-and-a-half-year-old, my toddler, for her to have a happy and healthy life. That is my focus. That and when I work, those, that’s it. My two boys are grown up. I mean, I do have vices. I drink entirely too much caffeine. I’m drinking 200-milligram strawberry energy drinks six times a day, and I’m not good with my phone, and the doomscrolling’s got to stop. They’re not good vices to have. They’re not good for your body."
"But I’m not enjoying a martini, which I did like my martinis, and I’m not doing other things. I mean, I am pretty monastic. So to answer your question, I’m not doing any unexpected things in life at the moment.”
