More quotes by Michael Caine
My own mentality is that I've retired. They send me these scripts and if I absolutely have to do it, then I go to work.
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
Growing up, there was only classical music on BBC Radio. We had to listen to the American Forces Network in Germany, which played pop songs, or the pirate radio boats off the coast.
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
I felt a tremendous sadness for men who can't deal with a woman of their own age.
Michael Caine
Books were my window on the world. Growing up at the Elephant and Castle, which was very rough, my paradise was the library.
Michael Caine
I've made the transition from star to character actor and I'm thoroughly enjoying it.
Michael Caine
Someone said to me the other day: Well, you're eventually going to live until 110. And I said: Well, who's going to keep me? What age do I retire? 100? How are you going to live all those years and who is going to keep you doing it? I have a couple of grandchildren now so I'm banking on them.
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
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
At 69, I got the girl! And it wasn't a 68-year-old girl, either.
Michael Caine
I spent my life in the library reading books.
Michael Caine
I've done a lot of radio in my life. I've done radio plays for the BBC when I was young so I was absolutely used to that style of work, of working with the voice. I have a very distinctive voice so it's always great for me because I open my mouth and everybody knows who it is.
Michael Caine
The trouble with women? Elbows.
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
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
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.

Some men just want to watch the world burn

If you put someone on screen long enough, they become the hero.
