More quotes by Michael Caine
I'm trying to work only with established, respected directors. I took a lot of bad scripts and worked for a lot of lazy directors, and it was discouraging to go to the screenings and see that the director had added nothing, the editor had added nothing, there was nothing to see.
Michael Caine
I never listened to the people who said I should give it up, which is the main advice I got.
Michael Caine
I've never taken drugs - if you take a drug of your choice, you get some ecstatic feeling.
Michael Caine
You've got to be flexible. Directors do a massive amount of planning and homework, and if after all that your director decides to throw it all out of the window and shoot spontaneously, then you must follow his lead.
Michael Caine
I try to make everyone around me feel comfortable.
Michael Caine

Michael Caine
Don't sit as if you have nothing to say. You should be bursting with things to say. You just choose at this particular place and time, not to say them.
Michael Caine
I just try to play more and more difficult roles.
Michael Caine
I have enough money not to do pictures ever. I'm seventy years old. I don't want to get up at 6:30 in the morning and learn ten pages of dialogue to do with a bunch of creeps I don't like. It's gotta be fun for me.
Michael Caine
Use the difficulties - if you can't avoid them
Michael Caine
If you're a movie actor, you're on your own - you cannot control the stage. The director controls it.
Michael Caine
You can't get blase about something you haven't done yet.
Michael Caine
How can I change me to suit the script?
Michael Caine
Maybe it's time we all stop trying to outsmart the truth and let it have its day.
Michael Caine
I don't do it often, but I do cry. I also laugh a lot people tell me I'm funny and I do like to laugh.
Michael Caine
