More quotes by Michael Caine
You must always steal, but only from the best people. Steal any trick that looks worthwhile. If you see Vivien Leigh or Robert DeNiro or Meryl Streep do something stunningly effective, and you can analyze how he or she did it, then pinch it. Because you can be sure that they stole it in the first place.
Michael Caine
If you're a gardener you don't need a gym. [...] You're always carrying large sacks of manure all over.
Michael Caine
At 69, I got the girl! And it wasn't a 68-year-old girl, either.
Michael Caine
To be a movie star, you have to carry a movie. And to carry a movie where you play the title role is the supreme example.
Michael Caine
I wear a baseball cap all the time, which I would never normally wear, and I walk very fast.
Michael Caine
I've been acting a long time, and I can play a Cockney gangster or a womanizer in my sleep or standing on my head. But what I try to do is I try to find characters that are as far away from me as I possibly can and then make them real. A French Nazi is about as far away from me as I can possibly get without actually going to Mars or something.
Michael Caine

Michael Caine
I don't think human beings are bad. They're weak. And that's what makes 'em bad.
Michael Caine
I never listened to the people who said I should give it up, which is the main advice I got.
Michael Caine
I spent my life in the library reading books.
Michael Caine
I think what is British about me is my feelings and awareness of others and their situations. English people are always known to be well mannered and cold but we are not cold - we don't interfere in your situation. If we are heartbroken, we don't scream in your face with tears - we go home and cry on our own.
Michael Caine
There's quite a lot of bad stuff written about me. My wife even says a lot of bad stuff about me. But she is wonderful.
Michael Caine
English is clipped in speech. Texas is exactly the opposite.
Michael Caine
You don't sacrifice your individuality you sacrifice a lot of freedom.
Michael Caine
One of the great things with comedy is that there's no such thing as a mediocre comedy it's either uproarious or crap. That's the problem.
Michael Caine
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
