More quotes by Michael Caine
There's only two things I hate in this world. People who are intolerant of other people's cultures and the Dutch.
Michael Caine
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
Books were my window on the world. Growing up at the Elephant and Castle, which was very rough, my paradise was the library.
Michael Caine
I have enough money not to do pictures ever. I'm seventy years old. I don't want to get up at 6:30 in the morning and learn ten pages of dialogue to do with a bunch of creeps I don't like. It's gotta be fun for me.
Michael Caine
You're your first best audience, long before anybody else hears you. So don't be an easy audience. Keep asking for more.
Michael Caine
I'm trying to work only with established, respected directors. I took a lot of bad scripts and worked for a lot of lazy directors, and it was discouraging to go to the screenings and see that the director had added nothing, the editor had added nothing, there was nothing to see.
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
I did everything. I ran my life exactly as I wanted to, all the time. I never listened to anybody. I'm pig-headed.
Michael Caine

Michael Caine
When it comes to politics, I believe you have to cut the cake so that everybody gets a piece, but at the same time, you have to keep in mind that somebody has to make the cake.
Michael Caine
Don't sit as if you have nothing to say. You should be bursting with things to say. You just choose at this particular place and time, not to say them.
Michael Caine
My view of actors is that basically they're all harmless lunatics who'd be on the psychiatrist's couch.
Michael Caine
You don't sacrifice your individuality you sacrifice a lot of freedom.
Michael Caine
At 69, I got the girl! And it wasn't a 68-year-old girl, either.
Michael Caine
I never listened to the people who said I should give it up, which is the main advice I got.
Michael Caine
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.
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
I've never taken drugs - if you take a drug of your choice, you get some ecstatic feeling.
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
I don't have to work. I suppose I should retire. But I enjoy working.
Michael Caine
