More quotes by Michael Caine
Hollywood is a cross between a health farm, a recreation center and an insane asylum. It's a company town, and I happen to like the company!
Michael Caine
I've always got to have one impossible dream on the back burner.
Michael Caine
I wouldn't make an anti-American film. I'm one of the most pro-American foreigners I know. I love America and Americans.
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
You start pretending to have fun, you might have a little by accident.
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
I'm trying to work only with established, respected directors. I took a lot of bad scripts and worked for a lot of lazy directors, and it was discouraging to go to the screenings and see that the director had added nothing, the editor had added nothing, there was nothing to see.
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

Michael Caine
For all my education, accomplishments, and so called 'wisdom'... I can't fathom my own heart.
Michael Caine
My view of actors is that basically they're all harmless lunatics who'd be on the psychiatrist's couch.
Michael Caine
Do I believe in God? Yes I do. When you've had a life like mine, you have to.
Michael Caine
If you put someone on screen long enough, they become the hero.
Michael Caine
I don't do it often, but I do cry. I also laugh a lot people tell me I'm funny and I do like to laugh.
Michael Caine
I want to stick around with the big boys. I don't want to be in the old folks home.
Michael Caine
At 69, I got the girl! And it wasn't a 68-year-old girl, either.
Michael Caine
I have a knack of making villainous people a little bit sympathetic, a bit of fun on screen.
Michael Caine
I don't have to work, really, but I do enjoy working, and I do enjoy getting paid.
Michael Caine
The best research for playing a drunk is being a British actor for 20 years.
Michael Caine
I never bring a role home with me. The moment they say, 'It's a wrap,' it's gone completely. I'm a totally ruthless professional, and life is my family, not my work.
Michael Caine
