More quotes by 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

Michael Caine
Maybe it's time we all stop trying to outsmart the truth and let it have its day.
Michael Caine
Do I believe in God? Yes I do. When you've had a life like mine, you have to.
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
I started with the firm conviction that when I came to the end, I wanted to be regretting the things that I had done, not the things I hadn't.
Michael Caine
I admired Marlon Brando as I grew up. I though he was one of the finest screen actors around.
Michael Caine
I want to stick around with the big boys. I don't want to be in the old folks home.
Michael Caine
Obsession is a young man's game, and my only excuse is that I never grew old.
