More quotes by Michael Caine
It’s a lesson in life—don’t look back, you’ll trip over.
Michael Caine
I usually control the environment I'm in, but my control is very quiet and subtle.
Michael Caine
Obsession is a young man's game, and my only excuse is that I never grew old.
Michael Caine
A lot of movie stars are not great actors they're just very good-looking. And when they start to age and they don't have the looks any more, then it's over.
Michael Caine
I don't have to work, really, but I do enjoy working, and I do enjoy getting paid.
Michael Caine
I've never been competitive with other actors. I've been competitive with myself and I'm my own worst critic, a terrible critic I am, and unless I get something right, I feel very unhappy.
Michael Caine
If you really want to become an actor, but only providing that acting doesn't interfere with your golf game, political ambitions and your life, you don't want to become an actor. Not only is acting more than a part time job, it's more than a full time job. It's a full time obsession.
Michael Caine
You get paid the same for a bad film as you do for a good one.
Michael Caine
If I see any injustice done, I have a big enough mouth and the position to open up about it.
Michael Caine
It's much harder to act in a bad film than in a good one. A terrible script makes for very difficult acting. You can win an Academy Award for some of the easiest acting in your career, made possible by a brilliant script.
Michael Caine
I feel like 35. At 35 you're old enough to know something and young enough to look forward to what you can do with the knowledge. So I stayed at 35!
Michael Caine
I won an Academy Award for 'The Cider House Rules,' playing an American.
Michael Caine
I don't think human beings are bad. They're weak. And that's what makes 'em bad.
Michael Caine
But the whole point of the Sixties was that you had to take people as they were. If you came in with us you left your class, and colour, and religion behind, that was what the Sixties was all about.
Michael Caine
I don't do it often, but I do cry. I also laugh a lot people tell me I'm funny and I do like to laugh.
Michael Caine
How can I change me to suit the script?
Michael Caine
What it is is that comedy is underrepresented in every actor's life, because it's so bloody difficult to write. Anyone can write, and then you leave it to special effects to make it look good. But comedy, you've got to do some writing.
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
It's vital to have your own space so you aren't constantly in each other's pockets.
Michael Caine
If you think you're going to be up for an Oscar, you schedule your moviemaking.
