More quotes by Michael Caine
Do I believe in God? Yes I do. When you've had a life like mine, you have to.
Michael Caine
I don't like getting up early in the morning and learning all that stuff. I work with offers that I can't refuse.
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
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
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
Use the difficulties - if you can't avoid them
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
You can't get blase about something you haven't done yet.
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 been on movies where I literally couldn't hear what the other actor was saying. It's very awkward.
Michael Caine
If you put someone on screen long enough, they become the hero.
Michael Caine
Theater acting is an operation with a scalpel, movie acting is an operation with a laser
Michael Caine
I have never seen it (Jaws 4) but by all accounts it is terrible. However, I have seen the house that it built and it is terrific.
Michael Caine
I don't meet stockbrokers or carpenters or coal miners I spend all day with actors, composers and photographers.
Michael Caine
You're never too old to be crazy.
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
Ive read an awful lot of books, Ive read alot of awful books
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
Obsession is a young man’s game.
Michael Caine
Presenting the Oscars was the most nerve-racking job I have ever done in show business. It's very much a live show: they have comedy writers waiting in the wings, and as you come off between presentations, they hand you an appropriate gag to tell.
