This is your life, Larry. Learn to enjoy what you've got.
Michael Caine
I don't think human beings are bad. They're weak. And that's what makes 'em bad.

Michael Caine
I don't worry about the last shot or the next shot. I concentrate. Every shot gets a clean slate. And when a shot is over, I wipe it out absolutely. Tell a joke or something. If you worry about how you looked, how well you did, you'll go insane.
Michael Caine

Michael Caine
My wife, my daughters, even my grandchildren are funny. You've got to keep a sense of humor because anger destroys you.
Michael Caine
I never listened to the people who said I should give it up, which is the main advice I got.
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
Hollywood is a cross between a health farm, a recreation center and an insane asylum. It's a company town, and I happen to like the company!
Michael Caine
When I'm doing an accent, you shouldn't notice it for a while, if I'm doing it right.
Michael Caine
If I work with a bad actor, my reaction is to immediately become worse than they are.
Michael Caine
I'm hoping there's an afterlife. As you get older, you hope even more fervently.
Michael Caine
