More quotes by Michael Caine
But the whole point of the Sixties was that you had to take people as they were. If you came in with us you left your class, and colour, and religion behind, that was what the Sixties was all about.
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
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 like getting up early in the morning and learning all that stuff. I work with offers that I can't refuse.
Michael Caine
For me, the performance was always playing different people. And so when I got older, was no longer the romantic leading movie star, it became more and more interesting for me, the characters I played, you know?
Michael Caine
I don't worry about the last shot or the next shot. I concentrate. Every shot gets a clean slate. And when a shot is over, I wipe it out absolutely. Tell a joke or something. If you worry about how you looked, how well you did, you'll go insane.
Michael Caine
If you're a movie actor, you're on your own - you cannot control the stage. The director controls it.
Michael Caine
My father was a fish market porter. So I grew up on fish, because he used to steal one a day, I grew up on the very best fish that money could buy, 'cause he only stole the good stuff.
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
To be a movie star, you have to carry a movie. And to carry a movie where you play the title role is the supreme example.
Michael Caine
The trouble with women? Elbows.
Michael Caine
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 love the start of autumn when the trees in my garden change the colour of their leaves in one last dazzling display.
Michael Caine
You have to remember, I never became successful or wealthy till I was 30.
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
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
I'm not tough anymore, I'm 82.
Michael Caine
I spent 30 years of my life not being wanted at all for films.
Michael Caine
You cannot have one bathroom. And it don't matter how much you love your wife and everything, 'cause you wind up with no room at all. You just get a little corner and you've got a toothbrush and your paste and a shaving brush and a razor. And you can never get in there. So you must have two bathrooms. You really must. I think it's essential.
Michael Caine
This is your life, Larry. Learn to enjoy what you've got.
