Michael Caine
Presenting the Oscars was the most nerve-racking job I have ever done in show business. It's very much a live show: they have comedy writers waiting in the wings, and as you come off between presentations, they hand you an appropriate gag to tell.
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

Michael Caine
I am in so many movies that are on TV at 2:00 a.m. that people think I am dead.
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
My closest friends are Roger Moore, who is an actor, Sean Connery, who is an actor, Terry O'Neill, who is a photographer, Johnny Gold, who was the boss of Tramp, and Leslie Bricusse, who is a composer.
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
A lot of people said, Who do you think you are? I told them I know exactly who I am and I'll tell you exactly where I'm going.
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
You have to remember, I never became successful or wealthy till I was 30.
Michael Caine
I admired Marlon Brando as I grew up. I though he was one of the finest screen actors around.
