Nicolas Cagewas in top form during a recent interview onThe Late Showwith Stephen Colbert.
“Let me think. Listen, I know this sounds really far out and I don’t know if it’s real or not but sometimes I think I can go all the way back to in utero and feeling like I could see faces in the dark or something,” Cage, 59, described to Colbert, 58.
“I know that sounds powerfully abstract,” he continued, “but that somehow seems like it maybe happened. Now that I am no longer in utero, I would have to imagine it was perhaps vocal vibrations resonating through to me at that stage.”
Deliberating further, Cage added, “That’s going way back. I don’t know. That comes to mind… I don’t even know if I remember being in utero, but that thought has crossed my mind.”
