If you really want to become an actor, but only providing that acting doesn't interfere with your golf game, political ambitions and your life, you don't want to become an actor. Not only is acting more than a part time job, it's more than a full time job. It's a full time obsession.

I don't have any regrets because I'm very optimistic, and live each day as though it's the last.
Michael Caine
Image
I never look back at all. All of my sentiment and emotion goes into my family. I'm an extremely family oriented person and I have a very, very happy family life. That doesn't just include blood relations. I have friends who are close to me.
Michael Caine

I'm looking for me to disappear, and the acting to disappear, and all you see is a real person.
Michael Caine

We can only use British actors because everybody's got to talk exactly the same.

If you held a pistol at my head, I couldn't tell you who they're going to vote for Best Actor.

Just because I have made a point of never losing my accent it doesn't mean I'm an eel-and-pie yob.

My wife comes with me on all the movies, but she is not an appendage to a film star or anything like that. She is a completely intertwined partner. She is the other half of me. Also, we're still very much in love with each other. We always have been, we always will be.
Michael Caine
Image
I've never been competitive with other actors. I've been competitive with myself and I'm my own worst critic, a terrible critic I am, and unless I get something right, I feel very unhappy.
Michael Caine
Image
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.

When becoming a character, you have to steal. Steal whatever you see. You can even steal from other actors' characterizations but if you do, only steal from the best.

If I work with a bad actor, my reaction is to immediately become worse than they are.
