I usually control the environment I'm in, but my control is very quiet and subtle.
Michael Caine

My own mentality is that I've retired. They send me these scripts and if I absolutely have to do it, then I go to work.

My closest friends are Roger Moore, who is an actor, Sean Connery, who is an actor, Terry O'Neill, who is a photographer, Johnny Gold, who was the boss of Tramp, and Leslie Bricusse, who is a composer.

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.

It’s a lesson in life—don’t look back, you’ll trip over.
Michael Caine

For all my education, accomplishments, and so called 'wisdom'... I can't fathom my own heart.

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.

I have a knack of making villainous people a little bit sympathetic, a bit of fun on screen.
Michael Caine

It's much harder to act in a bad film than in a good one. A terrible script makes for very difficult acting. You can win an Academy Award for some of the easiest acting in your career, made possible by a brilliant script.

Image
I am in so many movies that are on TV at 2:00 a.m. that people think I am dead.
Michael Caine
Image
I'm forever testing myself. As a person and as an actor, I have no sense of competition.
Michael Caine
Image
Save your money. You're going to need twice as much money in your old age as you think.
Michael Caine
Image
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.

I used to get the girl now I get the part. In 'The Quiet American' you may have noticed I got the part and the girl. It's a milestone for me, because it's the last time I'm going to get the girl.

I don't have to work, really, but I do enjoy working, and I do enjoy getting paid.

What it is is that comedy is underrepresented in every actor's life, because it's so bloody difficult to write. Anyone can write, and then you leave it to special effects to make it look good. But comedy, you've got to do some writing.

I don't do it often, but I do cry. I also laugh a lot people tell me I'm funny and I do like to laugh.

I'm hoping there's an afterlife. As you get older, you hope even more fervently.
