Obsession is a young man’s game.

This is your life, Larry. Learn to enjoy what you've got.
Michael Caine
Image
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.

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.
Michael Caine
Image
I don't have any regrets because I'm very optimistic, and live each day as though it's the last.

Image
Books were my window on the world. Growing up at the Elephant and Castle, which was very rough, my paradise was the library.
Michael Caine
Image
I read books like mad, but I am careful to to let anything I read influence me.

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
Image
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.

I see myself as 38, but you don't notice it.
Michael Caine
Image
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.

You have to remember, I never became successful or wealthy till I was 30.

The trouble with women? Elbows.

Presenting the Oscars was the most nerve-racking job I have ever done in show business. It's very much a live show: they have comedy writers waiting in the wings, and as you come off between presentations, they hand you an appropriate gag to tell.

Be patient.Of course it will come. It took me years to get an Oscar.

I've never taken drugs - if you take a drug of your choice, you get some ecstatic feeling.

I was so poor for so long that I didn't use anything. I didn't drive cars, I didn't eat very much. So, I figured the world owed me a debt, so I've been eating very well and have had a very big car for a long time. But I still haven't caught up with my youth.

If you're a movie actor, you're on your own - you cannot control the stage. The director controls it.

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.
