"Sometimes you're a dragon, sometimes you're a bunny"--Nic Cage, saying the most Nic Cage line ever, but also a quotable truth about life.

"Sometimes you're a dragon. Sometimes you're a bunny." I felt that.

Well every actor comes in to promote. Here Cage, an artist first actor second, was so involved in discussing his art he had to be reminded to promote his film. Both of them are real artists, dying breed. Now all we have is minions of power doing social engineering.

Peggy Sue Got Married is such a wonderful movie. Nic is great in it, and I think the voice works because his character is such a vulnerable guy. I never even thought his character was even comedic, but the movie itself is sad, funny, and brilliant all at once. His uncle is such a genius.

I just realized that this isn’t a recent interview, but from 2007. They spent five minutes talking about Nick Cage’s extensive acting career, and he’s had another dozen, at least, since then. He’s even starring in a new movie this year in 2022.

He got into a series of legal issues and huge debts after this interview. Only this year had he managed to pay off all his debts, that's probably why he started to appear on talk show

This is one of my favorite interviews!

Absolutely love nick cage I love his energy 110% into EVERY MOVIE 🎬!! He's definitely a National treasure..

Conan, this is madness. You are on fire here. So wonderful to watch

Nick is hilarious man. Good interview 💯

The best actor ever.

My all time favorite actor. Kevin Costner is epic too but something about Cage is just so entertaining…

Cage is just so brilliant, good stuff!

You got to love Nicolas Cage.

Sometimes you're a dragon, sometimes you're a bunny - best life wisdom

Gumby plays an Firebird! 👍

Cage is so much a different person when he's off screen. He's nothing like any of his characters, interesting. The way he talks is just vibing

Nicolas' Pokey impression is great

Nicholas Cage is so talented, funny and charming. His voice reminds me of the very first sip of a perfectly chilled sweet wine. Yeeeessss!!! I love him!

One of the best moments of this interview (and there are a few) is when Conan does Superman with the Gumby voice, and you see Cage light up a moment later and join in, and then Conan lights up. That's just raw fun.

I guess you can say after he found out about the Korean year of the dragon, he got to put the bunny back in the box

Omg Nick Cage is hilarious in interviews! He seems like a great guest!

Probably my favourite actor ever- so diverse

Wow.. when I was like 4 or 5 my parents bought me a Dog and I remember naming it "Pokey" lol... For years and years I've always remembered it as a name I just thought up but I used to watch Gumby a lot growing up and I completely forgot Pokey was the Horse.... I must have got the idea from the show. Goes to show how fickle a memory can be lol.

After this, every subsequent Cloppy segment began with the Cloppy intro punctuated with Nic's endorsement from this interview -- "who I really love is Cloppy the Horse".

Omg, the dragon bunny thing happened to me too, at 33yrs old lol.

That's not a Pokey impression, that's a straight-up helium voice!

Cage could hold a masterclass in charm.

Wow! According to Google, Nick made about 103 films so far at age 58 years old.

Man I love this dude.

Ghost Rider is unironically an incredible movie.

when nick does that voice he sounds like quagmire haha

Really hope conan has Timothy Olyphant on again for the justified reboot!

Huge missed opportunity! After Nic realizes that he was actually born in the year of the dragon he should of said, "I decided to put the bunny back in the box!"
