I just try to play more and more difficult roles.

I don't like getting up early in the morning and learning all that stuff. I work with offers that I can't refuse.

I've got a lot of back-up because my father was a Catholic, my mother was a Protestant, I was educated by Jews and I'm married to a Muslim. So I won't lose out on a technicality.

The three actors I admire the most are all dead. Humphrey Bogart, Spencer Tracy and the French actor, Jean Gabin. They're all very natural, sort of masculine without being overly macho.

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 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.

I prefer to remake flops. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels was a remake of a flop, and The Quiet American is a remake of a flop.
Michael Caine
Image
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.

They use those monitors now, and sometimes you'll be doing a shot and then suddenly you see yourself on one of those monitors, and I always say turn the monitor round, I don't want to see myself on the monitor. I never see myself 'til the movie's finished.

You're your first best audience, long before anybody else hears you. So don't be an easy audience. Keep asking for more.

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.

I don't have to work. I suppose I should retire. But I enjoy working.

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

Acting is not a competition everything must be done for the good of the film or else everybody loses.
