More quotes by Michael Caine
And to Tom Cruise, for if you had won this, your asking price would have gone down so fast. Do you have any idea what supporting actors get paid? We get only one trailer, a small one, in the back.
Michael Caine
I'm very, very family oriented. I'm a big cook and a good connoisseur and I only drink very good red wines now.
Michael Caine
This is your life, Larry. Learn to enjoy what you've got.
Michael Caine
80 percent of any gang is not there to attack someone. They're there so no one will attack them.
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've been on movies where I literally couldn't hear what the other actor was saying. It's very awkward.
Michael Caine
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.
Michael Caine
I never regret anything. I always said that when I'm old, I want to be sitting there regretting the things that I did and not the things that I didn't do and now I'm old, and I don't regret anything! I had fun. I had fun, and I'm still having it.
Michael Caine
If you're a movie star, you get the girl, you lose the girl, and then you get her back. But if you're a character like me, you lose the girl, then you get another one, then you get another one, then you lose them all, then you lose your life.
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
I don't meet stockbrokers or carpenters or coal miners I spend all day with actors, composers and photographers.
Michael Caine
Acting is not a competition everything must be done for the good of the film or else everybody loses.
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
No matter what the reason, if you start to scream and shout, you look a fool, and you feel a fool, and you earn the disrespect of everyone.
Michael Caine
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.
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
There's only two things I hate in this world. People who are intolerant of other people's cultures and the Dutch.
Michael Caine
I don't think you retire from movies movies retire you.
Michael Caine
My most useful acting tip came from my pal John Wayne. Talk low, talk slow, and don't say too much.
Michael Caine
I wear a baseball cap all the time, which I would never normally wear, and I walk very fast.
