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.

Michael Caine
For Cider House Rules, I was doing a New England accent.
Michael Caine
80 percent of any gang is not there to attack someone. They're there so no one will attack them.

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
I've never taken drugs - if you take a drug of your choice, you get some ecstatic feeling.
