Nicolas Cage: "I want to crawl up and hide at the end of the world."

Source: an interview with Germany's In Touch magazine, wherein Cage describes his reaction to learning about the 6 million dollars he owes in taxes in those evocative words of despair, which further quotes from article indicate he has overcome with steely resolve (" I will pay off all those debts, to the last cent. I have a responsibility for my sons and my wife. I have to get back on my feet") and optimism ("I have a new manager now, so I'm halfway there.") that borders on the insane, or at very least involves a mathematically suspect definition of "half".

“It is no longer a question of imitation, nor duplication, nor even parody. It is a question of substituting the signs of the real for the real.” [Baudrillard, The Precession of Simulacra]
