Quote

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.

I was born Maurice Joseph Micklewhite. Imagine signing that autograph! You'd get a broken arm. So I changed my name to Michael Caine after Humphrey Bogart's 'The Caine Mutiny,' which was playing in the theater across from the telephone booth where I learned that I'd gotten my first TV job.

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.
