Michael Caine
I think it would be great for the Academy to recognize old age.
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 read books like mad, but I am careful to to let anything I read influence me.

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 don't have to work. I suppose I should retire. But I enjoy working.
Michael Caine
They use those monitors now, and sometimes you'll be doing a shot and then suddenly you see yourself on one of those monitors, and I always say turn the monitor round, I don't want to see myself on the monitor. I never see myself 'til the movie's finished.
Michael Caine
You're your first best audience, long before anybody else hears you. So don't be an easy audience. Keep asking for more.
Michael Caine
I prefer to remake flops. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels was a remake of a flop, and The Quiet American is a remake of a flop.
Michael Caine
Be like a duck. Calm on the surface, but always paddling like the dickens underneath.
Michael Caine
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.
