If you really want to become an actor, but only providing that acting doesn't interfere with your golf game, political ambitions and your life, you don't want to become an actor. Not only is acting more than a part time job, it's more than a full time job. It's a full time obsession.
Michael Caine
I usually control the environment I'm in, but my control is very quiet and subtle.
Michael Caine
If you're a gardener you don't need a gym. [...] You're always carrying large sacks of manure all over.
