Michael Caine
I'm forever testing myself. As a person and as an actor, I have no sense of competition.

I've done a lot of radio in my life. I've done radio plays for the BBC when I was young so I was absolutely used to that style of work, of working with the voice. I have a very distinctive voice so it's always great for me because I open my mouth and everybody knows who it is.

Youre only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!
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
I'm hoping there's an afterlife. As you get older, you hope even more fervently.
Michael Caine
I've always got to have one impossible dream on the back burner.
Michael Caine
I try to make everyone around me feel comfortable.
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
I don't have any regrets because I'm very optimistic, and live each day as though it's the last.
Michael Caine
I want to stick around with the big boys. I don't want to be in the old folks home.
Michael Caine
