Michael Caine

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.
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
Since I was 19, I've had the most fun possible every single day, even when I had a rough life. It was the army which taught me about life, and the theater which taught me how good it could be.
Michael Caine
Do I believe in God? Yes I do. When you've had a life like mine, you have to.
