More quotes by 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
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
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. I suppose I should retire. But I enjoy working.
Michael Caine
Some men just want to watch the world burn
Michael Caine
Maybe it's time we all stop trying to outsmart the truth and let it have its day.
Michael Caine
I'm not a betting man, and even if I was, I certainly wouldn't bet on this! I would not bet on the Best Actor.
Michael Caine
If you're blond, as I am, and you have blond lashes, you have to wear mascara, otherwise you're invisible on stage.
Michael Caine
I have never seen it (Jaws 4) but by all accounts it is terrible. However, I have seen the house that it built and it is terrific.
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 am in so many movies that are on TV at 2:00 a.m. that people think I am dead.
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
You can't get blase about something you haven't done yet.
Michael Caine
Someone said to me the other day: Well, you're eventually going to live until 110. And I said: Well, who's going to keep me? What age do I retire? 100? How are you going to live all those years and who is going to keep you doing it? I have a couple of grandchildren now so I'm banking on them.
Michael Caine
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.
Michael Caine
I love the start of autumn when the trees in my garden change the colour of their leaves in one last dazzling display.
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 was born Maurice Joseph Micklewhite. Imagine signing that autograph! You'd get a broken arm. So I changed my name to Michael Caine after Humphrey Bogart's 'The Caine Mutiny,' which was playing in the theater across from the telephone booth where I learned that I'd gotten my first TV job.
Michael Caine
I feel that I helped the working class by just saying there are no barriers, which I consider to be true.
Michael Caine
I don't think human beings are bad. They're weak. And that's what makes 'em bad.
Michael Caine
