More quotes by Michael Caine
I've made the transition from star to character actor and I'm thoroughly enjoying it.
Michael Caine
If you're an actor and you don't act for a long time you sort of think, I wonder if I can still do it.
Michael Caine
You can see all sorts of things in film acting if you know where to look and what to look for. One thing I often notice is that the actor is looking for his mark, the place where he has to stand to be in the right place in the shot.
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
Youre only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!
Michael Caine
I just love to go home, no matter where I am, the most luxurious hotel suite in the world, I love to go home.
Michael Caine
I usually control the environment I'm in, but my control is very quiet and subtle.
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
There's quite a lot of bad stuff written about me. My wife even says a lot of bad stuff about me. But she is wonderful.
Michael Caine
Acting is not a competition everything must be done for the good of the film or else everybody loses.
Michael Caine
If you think you're going to be up for an Oscar, you schedule your moviemaking.
Michael Caine
I'm looking for me to disappear, and the acting to disappear, and all you see is a real person.
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
You have to remember, I never became successful or wealthy till I was 30.
Michael Caine
Obsession is a young man's game, and my only excuse is that I never grew old.
Michael Caine
It's funny, people ask me, 'What would you consider the most romantic track on your record Mr Caine?' And I say 'Swollen' by Bent, and they say 'I think he's off his rocker!'
Michael Caine
I was so poor for so long that I didn't use anything. I didn't drive cars, I didn't eat very much. So, I figured the world owed me a debt, so I've been eating very well and have had a very big car for a long time. But I still haven't caught up with my youth.
Michael Caine
I see myself as 38, but you don't notice it.
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
You must always steal, but only from the best people. Steal any trick that looks worthwhile. If you see Vivien Leigh or Robert DeNiro or Meryl Streep do something stunningly effective, and you can analyze how he or she did it, then pinch it. Because you can be sure that they stole it in the first place.
