Image
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
Image
I learned about life before I went into the theater, which is why I've been so happy. I was a soldier.
Michael Caine
Image
I feel like 35. At 35 you're old enough to know something and young enough to look forward to what you can do with the knowledge. So I stayed at 35!

You cannot have one bathroom. And it don't matter how much you love your wife and everything, 'cause you wind up with no room at all. You just get a little corner and you've got a toothbrush and your paste and a shaving brush and a razor. And you can never get in there. So you must have two bathrooms. You really must. I think it's essential.

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 felt a tremendous sadness for men who can't deal with a woman of their own age.

I admired Marlon Brando as I grew up. I though he was one of the finest screen actors around.

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.

I'm every bourgeois nightmare - a Cockney with intelligence and a million dollars.
Michael Caine

I love the start of autumn when the trees in my garden change the colour of their leaves in one last dazzling display.
Michael Caine
Image
I just love to go home, no matter where I am, the most luxurious hotel suite in the world, I love to go home.

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.

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
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.

I don't think you retire from movies movies retire you.

Do I believe in God? Yes I do. When you've had a life like mine, you have to.
Michael Caine
Image
I did everything. I ran my life exactly as I wanted to, all the time. I never listened to anybody. I'm pig-headed.

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.

Save your money. You're going to need twice as much money in your old age as you think.

You've got to be flexible. Directors do a massive amount of planning and homework, and if after all that your director decides to throw it all out of the window and shoot spontaneously, then you must follow his lead.
