More quotes by Michael Caine
I spent my life in the library reading books.
Michael Caine
Be patient.Of course it will come. It took me years to get an Oscar.
Michael Caine
I never bring a role home with me. The moment they say, 'It's a wrap,' it's gone completely. I'm a totally ruthless professional, and life is my family, not my work.
Michael Caine
But the whole point of the Sixties was that you had to take people as they were. If you came in with us you left your class, and colour, and religion behind, that was what the Sixties was all about.
Michael Caine
I wear a baseball cap all the time, which I would never normally wear, and I walk very fast.

Michael Caine
I don't like getting up early in the morning and learning all that stuff. I work with offers that I can't refuse.
Michael Caine
The three actors I admire the most are all dead. Humphrey Bogart, Spencer Tracy and the French actor, Jean Gabin. They're all very natural, sort of masculine without being overly macho.
Michael Caine
First of all, I choose the great roles, and if none of these come, I choose the mediocre ones, and if they don't come, I choose the ones that pay the rent.
Michael Caine
I'm looking for me to disappear, and the acting to disappear, and all you see is a real person.
Michael Caine
If I see any injustice done, I have a big enough mouth and the position to open up about it.
Michael Caine
For Cider House Rules, I was doing a New England accent.
Michael Caine
I wouldn't make an anti-American film. I'm one of the most pro-American foreigners I know. I love America and Americans.
Michael Caine
The trouble with women? Elbows.
Michael Caine
Obsession is a young man’s game.
