More quotes by Michael Caine
For Cider House Rules, I was doing a New England accent.
Michael Caine
I have never seen it (Jaws 4) but by all accounts it is terrible. However, I have seen the house that it built and it is terrific.
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
I never look back at all. All of my sentiment and emotion goes into my family. I'm an extremely family oriented person and I have a very, very happy family life. That doesn't just include blood relations. I have friends who are close to me.
Michael Caine
I admired Marlon Brando as I grew up. I though he was one of the finest screen actors around.
Michael Caine
For all my education, accomplishments, and so called 'wisdom'... I can't fathom my own heart.
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

Michael Caine
I'm not a betting man, and even if I was, I certainly wouldn't bet on this! I would not bet on the Best Actor.
Michael Caine
No matter what the reason, if you start to scream and shout, you look a fool, and you feel a fool, and you earn the disrespect of everyone.
Michael Caine
I see myself as 38, but you don't notice it.
Michael Caine
You've got to be flexible. Directors do a massive amount of planning and homework, and if after all that your director decides to throw it all out of the window and shoot spontaneously, then you must follow his lead.
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
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'm looking for me to disappear, and the acting to disappear, and all you see is a real person.
Michael Caine
I'm a frustrated stand-up comic. If you hand me a microphone and I get one laugh, then I'll go on for 20 minutes.
Michael Caine
My view of actors is that basically they're all harmless lunatics who'd be on the psychiatrist's couch.
Michael Caine
I come from the slums I come from a hard background I come from a poor family and I was a soldier.
Michael Caine
When it comes to politics, I believe you have to cut the cake so that everybody gets a piece, but at the same time, you have to keep in mind that somebody has to make the cake.
Michael Caine
Do I believe in God? Yes I do. When you've had a life like mine, you have to.
