I love the start of autumn when the trees in my garden change the colour of their leaves in one last dazzling display.

I've made the transition from star to character actor and I'm thoroughly enjoying it.

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.

Presenting the Oscars was the most nerve-racking job I have ever done in show business. It's very much a live show: they have comedy writers waiting in the wings, and as you come off between presentations, they hand you an appropriate gag to tell.

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.

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.

When I'm doing an accent, you shouldn't notice it for a while, if I'm doing it right.

When I look in the mirror, I see someone who's happy with how he looks, because I was never one of the handsome Hollywood people. And I've had success as I've gotten older, because I'm able to play characters. I no longer get the girl, but I get the part.

Don't sit as if you have nothing to say. You should be bursting with things to say. You just choose at this particular place and time, not to say them.

It’s a lesson in life—don’t look back, you’ll trip over.
Michael Caine
Image
I started with the firm conviction that when I came to the end, I wanted to be regretting the things that I had done, not the things I hadn't.

Obsession is a young man's game, and my only excuse is that I never grew old.

I spent 30 years of my life not being wanted at all for films.

A lot of people said, Who do you think you are? I told them I know exactly who I am and I'll tell you exactly where I'm going.

If you think you're going to be up for an Oscar, you schedule your moviemaking.

My father was a fish market porter. So I grew up on fish, because he used to steal one a day, I grew up on the very best fish that money could buy, 'cause he only stole the good stuff.

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

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.

I did everything. I ran my life exactly as I wanted to, all the time. I never listened to anybody. I'm pig-headed.
