More quotes by Michael Caine
For Cider House Rules, I was doing a New England accent.
Michael Caine
A lot of movie stars are not great actors they're just very good-looking. And when they start to age and they don't have the looks any more, then it's over.
Michael Caine
My wife comes with me on all the movies, but she is not an appendage to a film star or anything like that. She is a completely intertwined partner. She is the other half of me. Also, we're still very much in love with each other. We always have been, we always will be.
Michael Caine
I think it would be great for the Academy to recognize old age.
Michael Caine
It's funny, people ask me, 'What would you consider the most romantic track on your record Mr Caine?' And I say 'Swollen' by Bent, and they say 'I think he's off his rocker!'
Michael Caine
Since I was 19, I've had the most fun possible every single day, even when I had a rough life. It was the army which taught me about life, and the theater which taught me how good it could be.
Michael Caine
Obsession is a young man's game, and my only excuse is that I never grew old.
Michael Caine
I don't want to sound like Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells, but I do think there should be some sort of national service for young men.
Michael Caine
Save your money. You're going to need twice as much money in your old age as you think.
Michael Caine
If you're an actor and you don't act for a long time you sort of think, I wonder if I can still do it.
Michael Caine
I wear a baseball cap all the time, which I would never normally wear, and I walk very fast.
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
You can see all sorts of things in film acting if you know where to look and what to look for. One thing I often notice is that the actor is looking for his mark, the place where he has to stand to be in the right place in the shot.
Michael Caine
I have been rich and I have been poor. I know which one I prefer.
Michael Caine
If I see any injustice done, I have a big enough mouth and the position to open up about it.
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 don't have to work, really, but I do enjoy working, and I do enjoy getting paid.
Michael Caine
As an actor, my attitude towards using of film versus digital is, if you have film, filmmakers have to cut eventually so you don't have to learn all that dialogue. With digital, they can just go on forever and it's a nightmare. So, I like film - nice short takes.
Michael Caine
I'm a frustrated stand-up comic. If you hand me a microphone and I get one laugh, then I'll go on for 20 minutes.
Michael Caine
For me, the performance was always playing different people. And so when I got older, was no longer the romantic leading movie star, it became more and more interesting for me, the characters I played, you know?
