More quotes by Michael Caine
For all my education, accomplishments, and so called 'wisdom'... I can't fathom my own heart.
Michael Caine
I don't worry about the last shot or the next shot. I concentrate. Every shot gets a clean slate. And when a shot is over, I wipe it out absolutely. Tell a joke or something. If you worry about how you looked, how well you did, you'll go insane.
Michael Caine
I've been on movies where I literally couldn't hear what the other actor was saying. It's very awkward.
Michael Caine
I don't have to work, really, but I do enjoy working, and I do enjoy getting paid.
Michael Caine
I don't like getting up early in the morning and learning all that stuff. I work with offers that I can't refuse.
Michael Caine
You can write shorthand and still look at the guy you're talking to.
Michael Caine
I spent 30 years of my life not being wanted at all for films.
Michael Caine
They use those monitors now, and sometimes you'll be doing a shot and then suddenly you see yourself on one of those monitors, and I always say turn the monitor round, I don't want to see myself on the monitor. I never see myself 'til the movie's finished.
Michael Caine
I don't think you retire from movies movies retire you.
Michael Caine
I was so poor for so long that I didn't use anything. I didn't drive cars, I didn't eat very much. So, I figured the world owed me a debt, so I've been eating very well and have had a very big car for a long time. But I still haven't caught up with my youth.
Michael Caine
I don't think human beings are bad. They're weak. And that's what makes 'em bad.
Michael Caine
When you reach the top, that's when the climb begins.
Michael Caine
If I see any injustice done, I have a big enough mouth and the position to open up about it.
Michael Caine
What a lot of people dont realize about gangs, in my opinion, is that a gang is not there to attack you. Eighty percent of the people in a gang are there to stop anyone from attacking them. You join a gang for protection, not to go out and hit someone.
Michael Caine
But the whole point of the Sixties was that you had to take people as they were. If you came in with us you left your class, and colour, and religion behind, that was what the Sixties was all about.
Michael Caine
If you held a pistol at my head, I couldn't tell you who they're going to vote for Best Actor.
Michael Caine
You've got to be flexible. Directors do a massive amount of planning and homework, and if after all that your director decides to throw it all out of the window and shoot spontaneously, then you must follow his lead.
Michael Caine
I'm forever testing myself. As a person and as an actor, I have no sense of competition.
Michael Caine
When I'm doing an accent, you shouldn't notice it for a while, if I'm doing it right.
Michael Caine
My closest friends are Roger Moore, who is an actor, Sean Connery, who is an actor, Terry O'Neill, who is a photographer, Johnny Gold, who was the boss of Tramp, and Leslie Bricusse, who is a composer.
