My wife comes with me on all the movies, but she is not an appendage to a film star or anything like that. She is a completely intertwined partner. She is the other half of me. Also, we're still very much in love with each other. We always have been, we always will be.

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
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.
Michael Caine
