I used to get the girl now I get the part. In 'The Quiet American' you may have noticed I got the part and the girl. It's a milestone for me, because it's the last time I'm going to get the girl.

The standing ovation threw me. ... To be held in such regard in a town so full of talent is quite something.
Michael Caine

My view of actors is that basically they're all harmless lunatics who'd be on the psychiatrist's couch.

If you think you're going to be up for an Oscar, you schedule your moviemaking.

Acting is not a competition everything must be done for the good of the film or else everybody loses.

My wife comes with me on all the movies, but she is not an appendage to a film star or anything like that. She is a completely intertwined partner. She is the other half of me. Also, we're still very much in love with each other. We always have been, we always will be.

It's funny, people ask me, 'What would you consider the most romantic track on your record Mr Caine?' And I say 'Swollen' by Bent, and they say 'I think he's off his rocker!'

We can only use British actors because everybody's got to talk exactly the same.

I'm looking for me to disappear, and the acting to disappear, and all you see is a real person.

I think what is British about me is my feelings and awareness of others and their situations. English people are always known to be well mannered and cold but we are not cold - we don't interfere in your situation. If we are heartbroken, we don't scream in your face with tears - we go home and cry on our own.

I started with the firm conviction that when I came to the end, I wanted to be regretting the things that I had done, not the things I hadn't.
Michael Caine

I just try to play more and more difficult roles.
Michael Caine
Image
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.

Youre only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!
Michael Caine
Image
I don't worry about the last shot or the next shot. I concentrate. Every shot gets a clean slate. And when a shot is over, I wipe it out absolutely. Tell a joke or something. If you worry about how you looked, how well you did, you'll go insane.

I've always got to have one impossible dream on the back burner.
Michael Caine
Image
I'm every bourgeois nightmare - a Cockney with intelligence and a million dollars.
Michael Caine
Image
I'm very, very family oriented. I'm a big cook and a good connoisseur and I only drink very good red wines now.

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
Image
I feel that I helped the working class by just saying there are no barriers, which I consider to be true.

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.
