Christina Fulton On Why She Sued Nic Cage

Christina Fulton, who has a 19-year-old son Weston with Cage, slapped the actor with a lawsuit after she found out she was being evicted from her home. And she was also left shocked to discover she owed the taxman more than $1 million. Fulton exclusively told RadarOnline: 'I was devastated, things were in chaos.' The reason she filed a $13 million lawsuit against Cage, she said, was 'we had an agreement'. She added: 'This came from a hard decision, a difficult decision for me, and it wasn't easy. It wasn't like I woke up one day and decided to sue Nicolas Cage and Sam Levin.' Levin was the business manager for both Fulton and Cage. 'I trusted Sam Levin,' Fulton said.

Nic 4 Life's Notes: Though I posted this article, I'm not positive that Christina made these statements, as you are not able to find this article on Radar Online - the site that supposedly interviewed Christina.

Cage On Why He Was Glad To Be A Child Actor

I used to take characters like this home with me, Nicolas explained. Ive been doing this since I was 15 and that makes me a child actor of sorts. And it was very hard to live my life and to be an actor at the same time. But now I have a family and my kids and I know how to make the shorthand, to go home and have my life. With playing Terence the body language, the posture, was like wearing a uniform. You go to work, you adopt the character, it becomes a ritual, and then you go.

Cage - Scared Of New Orleans

The 46-year-old actor plays a drug-addled policeman in new film Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans. He had mixed feelings about the role because he is superstitious about working in his home town.

"I have a love/ hate relationship with the city of New Orleans, which is the strongest kind of relationship," he said. "It's where I live and I feel both cursed and blessed in New Orleans so I was quite terrified to go back and make a movie there.

"I wasn't born in New Orleans but in some ways you could say that I was reborn there and that I had this very awakening kind of experience in that city, that never happened to me anywhere else."

The film was originally due to be shot in Detroit, as director Werner Herzog thought the location would suit the dark plot. Nicolas eventually convinced Werner to move production to New Orleans because he felt he had unfinished business with the city.

"Originally the picture was going to be shot in Detroit and I needed to take it to New Orleans and confront whatever head-trip it would be," he explained. "And I'm very happy to say that it worked and I was very happy with my relationship with Werner."
