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
I don't think you retire from movies movies retire you.
Michael Caine

Michael Caine
My most useful acting tip came from my pal John Wayne. Talk low, talk slow, and don't say too much.
Michael Caine

Michael Caine
I spent my life in the library reading books.
Michael Caine
Be like a duck. Calm on the surface, but always paddling like the dickens underneath.
Michael Caine
I've done my job and I've got the picture out there, and I'm very happy with it.
Michael Caine
We can only use British actors because everybody's got to talk exactly the same.
Michael Caine
When you reach the top, that's when the climb begins.
