More quotes by Michael Caine
I won an Academy Award for 'The Cider House Rules,' playing an American.
Michael Caine
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.

Michael Caine
If you're a gardener you don't need a gym. [...] You're always carrying large sacks of manure all over.
Michael Caine
For me, the performance was always playing different people. And so when I got older, was no longer the romantic leading movie star, it became more and more interesting for me, the characters I played, you know?
Michael Caine
I have been rich and I have been poor. I know which one I prefer.
Michael Caine
I'm hoping there's an afterlife. As you get older, you hope even more fervently.
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
You start pretending to have fun, you might have a little by accident.
Michael Caine
Do you know that the harder thing to do and the right thing to do are usually the same thing? Nothing that has meaning is easy,Easy doesn't enter into grown-up life.
Michael Caine
Obsession is a young man's game, and my only excuse is that I never grew old.
Michael Caine
It's vital to have your own space so you aren't constantly in each other's pockets.
Michael Caine
A lot of people said, Who do you think you are? I told them I know exactly who I am and I'll tell you exactly where I'm going.
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
