Michael Caine

Michael Caine
Funny things happen to you in movies for silly reasons.
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
Use the difficulties - if you can't avoid them
Michael Caine
You can see all sorts of things in film acting if you know where to look and what to look for. One thing I often notice is that the actor is looking for his mark, the place where he has to stand to be in the right place in the shot.
Michael Caine
Do you know that the harder thing to do and the right thing to do are usually the same thing? Nothing that has meaning is easy,Easy doesn't enter into grown-up life.
