More quotes by Michael Caine

Michael Caine
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.
Michael Caine
Theater acting is an operation with a scalpel, movie acting is an operation with a laser
Michael Caine
I'm a frustrated stand-up comic. If you hand me a microphone and I get one laugh, then I'll go on for 20 minutes.
Michael Caine
I read books like mad, but I am careful to to let anything I read influence me.
Michael Caine
About Superman and Batman: the former is how America views itself, the latter, darker character is how the rest of the world views America.
Michael Caine
Some men just want to watch the world burn
Michael Caine
Maybe it's time we all stop trying to outsmart the truth and let it have its day.
Michael Caine
I don't think you retire from movies movies retire you.
Michael Caine
I feel that I helped the working class by just saying there are no barriers, which I consider to be true.
Michael Caine
For Cider House Rules, I was doing a New England accent.
Michael Caine
I see myself as 38, but you don't notice it.
Michael Caine
I usually control the environment I'm in, but my control is very quiet and subtle.
Michael Caine
