More quotes by Michael Caine
I've got a lot of back-up because my father was a Catholic, my mother was a Protestant, I was educated by Jews and I'm married to a Muslim. So I won't lose out on a technicality.
Michael Caine
I'm forever testing myself. As a person and as an actor, I have no sense of competition.
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
For all my education, accomplishments, and so called 'wisdom'... I can't fathom my own heart.
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
You can't get blase about something you haven't done yet.
Michael Caine
Theater acting is an operation with a scalpel, movie acting is an operation with a laser
Michael Caine
You must always steal, but only from the best people. Steal any trick that looks worthwhile. If you see Vivien Leigh or Robert DeNiro or Meryl Streep do something stunningly effective, and you can analyze how he or she did it, then pinch it. Because you can be sure that they stole it in the first place.
Michael Caine
English is clipped in speech. Texas is exactly the opposite.
Michael Caine
Save your money. You're going to need twice as much money in your old age as you think.
Michael Caine
I admired Marlon Brando as I grew up. I though he was one of the finest screen actors around.
Michael Caine
Acting is not a competition everything must be done for the good of the film or else everybody loses.
Michael Caine
It's much harder to act in a bad film than in a good one. A terrible script makes for very difficult acting. You can win an Academy Award for some of the easiest acting in your career, made possible by a brilliant script.
Michael Caine
If you're a gardener you don't need a gym. [...] You're always carrying large sacks of manure all over.
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
I'm every bourgeois nightmare - a Cockney with intelligence and a million dollars.
Michael Caine
Use the difficulties - if you can't avoid them
Michael Caine
I have a knack of making villainous people a little bit sympathetic, a bit of fun on screen.
Michael Caine
I've been acting a long time, and I can play a Cockney gangster or a womanizer in my sleep or standing on my head. But what I try to do is I try to find characters that are as far away from me as I possibly can and then make them real. A French Nazi is about as far away from me as I can possibly get without actually going to Mars or something.
Michael Caine
You have to remember, I never became successful or wealthy till I was 30.
Michael Caine
