And to Tom Cruise, for if you had won this, your asking price would have gone down so fast. Do you have any idea what supporting actors get paid? We get only one trailer, a small one, in the back.

More quotes by Michael Caine
They use those monitors now, and sometimes you'll be doing a shot and then suddenly you see yourself on one of those monitors, and I always say turn the monitor round, I don't want to see myself on the monitor. I never see myself 'til the movie's finished.
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
I didn't know what I knew. I wasn't aware of what I knew.
Michael Caine
I want to stick around with the big boys. I don't want to be in the old folks home.
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
When becoming a character, you have to steal. Steal whatever you see. You can even steal from other actors' characterizations but if you do, only steal from the best.
Michael Caine
I prefer to remake flops. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels was a remake of a flop, and The Quiet American is a remake of a flop.
Michael Caine
I used to get the girl now I get the part. In 'The Quiet American' you may have noticed I got the part and the girl. It's a milestone for me, because it's the last time I'm going to get the girl.
Michael Caine
Funny things happen to you in movies for silly reasons.
Michael Caine
I read books like mad, but I am careful to to let anything I read influence me.
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've been on movies where I literally couldn't hear what the other actor was saying. It's very awkward.
Michael Caine
The American cinema in general always made stories about working-class people the British rarely did. Any person with my working-class background would be a villain or a comic cipher, usually badly played, and with a rotten accent. There weren't a lot of guys in England for me to look up to.
Michael Caine
Just because I have made a point of never losing my accent it doesn't mean I'm an eel-and-pie yob.
Michael Caine
One of the great things with comedy is that there's no such thing as a mediocre comedy it's either uproarious or crap. That's the problem.
Michael Caine
I try to make everyone around me feel comfortable.
Michael Caine
I spent 30 years of my life not being wanted at all for films.
Michael Caine
I spent my life in the library reading books.
Michael Caine
My wife, my daughters, even my grandchildren are funny. You've got to keep a sense of humor because anger destroys you.
Michael Caine
When I'm doing an accent, you shouldn't notice it for a while, if I'm doing it right.
