More quotes by Michael Caine
I've always played very human sort of characters.
Michael Caine
When becoming a character, you have to steal. Steal whatever you see. You can even steal from other actors' characterizations but if you do, only steal from the best.
Michael Caine
What a lot of people dont realize about gangs, in my opinion, is that a gang is not there to attack you. Eighty percent of the people in a gang are there to stop anyone from attacking them. You join a gang for protection, not to go out and hit someone.
Michael Caine
If you're a movie star, you get the girl, you lose the girl, and then you get her back. But if you're a character like me, you lose the girl, then you get another one, then you get another one, then you lose them all, then you lose your life.
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
Acting is not a competition everything must be done for the good of the film or else everybody loses.
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
I don't want to sound like Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells, but I do think there should be some sort of national service for young men.
Michael Caine
I admired Marlon Brando as I grew up. I though he was one of the finest screen actors around.
Michael Caine
You cannot have one bathroom. And it don't matter how much you love your wife and everything, 'cause you wind up with no room at all. You just get a little corner and you've got a toothbrush and your paste and a shaving brush and a razor. And you can never get in there. So you must have two bathrooms. You really must. I think it's essential.
Michael Caine
Be patient.Of course it will come. It took me years to get an Oscar.
Michael Caine
But the whole point of the Sixties was that you had to take people as they were. If you came in with us you left your class, and colour, and religion behind, that was what the Sixties was all about.
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 started with the firm conviction that when I came to the end, I wanted to be regretting the things that I had done, not the things I hadn't.
Michael Caine
Obsession is a young man's game, and my only excuse is that I never grew old.
Michael Caine
For Cider House Rules, I was doing a New England accent.
Michael Caine
I'm looking for me to disappear, and the acting to disappear, and all you see is a real person.
Michael Caine
I've made the transition from star to character actor and I'm thoroughly enjoying it.
Michael Caine
I have a knack of making villainous people a little bit sympathetic, a bit of fun on screen.
Michael Caine
If I see any injustice done, I have a big enough mouth and the position to open up about it.
Michael Caine
