More quotes by Michael Caine
I'm not a betting man, and even if I was, I certainly wouldn't bet on this! I would not bet on the Best Actor.
Michael Caine
Save your money. You're going to need twice as much money in your old age as you think.
Michael Caine
If you put someone on screen long enough, they become the hero.
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
I've never taken drugs - if you take a drug of your choice, you get some ecstatic feeling.
Michael Caine
For Cider House Rules, I was doing a New England accent.
Michael Caine
Acting is not a competition everything must be done for the good of the film or else everybody loses.
Michael Caine
If I see any injustice done, I have a big enough mouth and the position to open up about it.
Michael Caine
I've got a lot of back-up because my father was a Catholic, my mother was a Protestant, I was educated by Jews and I'm married to a Muslim. So I won't lose out on a technicality.
Michael Caine
For all my education, accomplishments, and so called 'wisdom'... I can't fathom my own heart.
Michael Caine
You get paid the same for a bad film as you do for a good one.
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.
Michael Caine
Just because I have made a point of never losing my accent it doesn't mean I'm an eel-and-pie yob.
Michael Caine
Be like a duck. Calm on the surface, but always paddling like the dickens underneath.
Michael Caine
Obsession is a young man's game, and my only excuse is that I never grew old.
Michael Caine
As an actor, my attitude towards using of film versus digital is, if you have film, filmmakers have to cut eventually so you don't have to learn all that dialogue. With digital, they can just go on forever and it's a nightmare. So, I like film - nice short takes.
Michael Caine
You start pretending to have fun, you might have a little by accident.
Michael Caine
Obsession is a young man’s game.
Michael Caine
Do I believe in God? Yes I do. When you've had a life like mine, you have to.
Michael Caine
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.
Michael Caine
