More quotes by Michael Caine
The best research for playing a drunk is being a British actor for 20 years.
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 don't think you retire from movies movies retire you.
Michael Caine
A lot of people said, Who do you think you are? I told them I know exactly who I am and I'll tell you exactly where I'm going.
Michael Caine
For me, the performance was always playing different people. And so when I got older, was no longer the romantic leading movie star, it became more and more interesting for me, the characters I played, you know?
Michael Caine
I felt a tremendous sadness for men who can't deal with a woman of their own age.
Michael Caine
Anyone can write. But comedy, you've got to do some writing. You get one comedy script to every 20 dramas.
Michael Caine
For Cider House Rules, I was doing a New England accent.
Michael Caine
You get paid the same for a bad film as you do for a good one.
Michael Caine
You can write shorthand and still look at the guy you're talking to.
Michael Caine
You don't sacrifice your individuality you sacrifice a lot of freedom.
Michael Caine
I'm forever testing myself. As a person and as an actor, I have no sense of competition.
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
I love the start of autumn when the trees in my garden change the colour of their leaves in one last dazzling display.
Michael Caine
My own mentality is that I've retired. They send me these scripts and if I absolutely have to do it, then I go to work.
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
It’s a lesson in life—don’t look back, you’ll trip over.
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
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 look back at all. All of my sentiment and emotion goes into my family. I'm an extremely family oriented person and I have a very, very happy family life. That doesn't just include blood relations. I have friends who are close to me.
Michael Caine
