At a young age, I was interested in comic books, which was really how I learnt to read. The name Cage came from a comic book character called Power Man.

"When I was eight, I would look at the cover of the 'Ghost Rider' comic book in my little home in Long Beach, California, and I couldn't get my head around how something that scary could also be good. To me it was my first philosophical awakening - 'How is this possible, this duality?'."
