Speaking to Flickeringmyth.com , Cage said that over the past decade, he was almost trying to make a point with his selection of projects.
"Much has been made of the fact that I made many action movies," he explained.
"The reason I did that was because the first time people said... 'You are not an action hero, forget it'.
"What you saw was a dramatic actor acting like an action hero, trying to find characters that were interesting within the genre."

The 50-year-old added: "Now having done that, I want to focus on the dramatic kind of filmmaking.
"I am in the process of reinventing myself... I am returning to my roots, which is independently spirited, dramatic characters
"I had taken a year off to re-evaluate everything I had done, different kinds of performances... I wanted to find something where I could use my life experience, my memories and my emotions."
Cage can next be seen in David Gordon Green's Joe , an adaptation of Larry Brown's 1991 novel of the same name.
