“I haven`t done a musical yet,” he told Empire magazine in an interview. “I`d like to try that. I`m not much of a singer. I did sing okay in Wild At Heart, I thought, but I`ve since blown my voice out singing `Purple Rain` incorrectly in karaoke bars.” As far as the musical Cage would like to participate in, he said, quoted by Deadline: “I think I`d make a good Pontius Pilate in `Jesus Christ Superstar`.”
As per Deadline, Cage also noted that he channelled Elvis Presley adding: “I was trying to approximate what it felt like to see Warhol`s marvellous collages of Elvis Presley as a cowboy with a six-shooter. I wanted to see if you could do that with a film performance. Plus, I think if David Lynch could cast anyone in any of his movies he would have wanted to have cast Elvis, so I think he was excited to roll with it when I suggested it.”
