More quotes by Michael Caine
I was born Maurice Joseph Micklewhite. Imagine signing that autograph! You'd get a broken arm. So I changed my name to Michael Caine after Humphrey Bogart's 'The Caine Mutiny,' which was playing in the theater across from the telephone booth where I learned that I'd gotten my first TV job.
Michael Caine
I didn't know what I knew. I wasn't aware of what I knew.
Michael Caine
Growing up, there was only classical music on BBC Radio. We had to listen to the American Forces Network in Germany, which played pop songs, or the pirate radio boats off the coast.
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
I don't have any regrets because I'm very optimistic, and live each day as though it's the last.
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 want to sound like Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells, but I do think there should be some sort of national service for young men.
Michael Caine
I've always played very human sort of characters.
Michael Caine
If you're a movie star, you get the girl, you lose the girl, and then you get her back. But if you're a character like me, you lose the girl, then you get another one, then you get another one, then you lose them all, then you lose your life.
Michael Caine
I've been acting a long time, and I can play a Cockney gangster or a womanizer in my sleep or standing on my head. But what I try to do is I try to find characters that are as far away from me as I possibly can and then make them real. A French Nazi is about as far away from me as I can possibly get without actually going to Mars or something.
Michael Caine
Be like a duck. Calm on the surface, but always paddling like the dickens underneath.
Michael Caine
Hollywood is a cross between a health farm, a recreation center and an insane asylum. It's a company town, and I happen to like the company!
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
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
I read books like mad, but I am careful to to let anything I read influence me.
Michael Caine
If you put someone on screen long enough, they become the hero.
Michael Caine
No matter what the reason, if you start to scream and shout, you look a fool, and you feel a fool, and you earn the disrespect of everyone.
