More quotes by Michael Caine
You're never too old to be crazy.
Michael Caine
I admired Marlon Brando as I grew up. I though he was one of the finest screen actors around.
Michael Caine
I try to make everyone around me feel comfortable.
Michael Caine
A lot of people said, Who do you think you are? I told them I know exactly who I am and I'll tell you exactly where I'm going.
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
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
For all my education, accomplishments, and so called 'wisdom'... I can't fathom my own heart.
Michael Caine
There's quite a lot of bad stuff written about me. My wife even says a lot of bad stuff about me. But she is wonderful.
Michael Caine
I've never taken drugs - if you take a drug of your choice, you get some ecstatic feeling.
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
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
One of the great things with comedy is that there's no such thing as a mediocre comedy it's either uproarious or crap. That's the problem.
Michael Caine
We can only use British actors because everybody's got to talk exactly the same.
Michael Caine
I didn't know what I knew. I wasn't aware of what I knew.
Michael Caine
I'm forever testing myself. As a person and as an actor, I have no sense of competition.
Michael Caine
I never listened to the people who said I should give it up, which is the main advice I got.
Michael Caine
You must always steal, but only from the best people. Steal any trick that looks worthwhile. If you see Vivien Leigh or Robert DeNiro or Meryl Streep do something stunningly effective, and you can analyze how he or she did it, then pinch it. Because you can be sure that they stole it in the first place.
Michael Caine
I'm every bourgeois nightmare - a Cockney with intelligence and a million dollars.
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.
