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
When becoming a character, you have to steal. Steal whatever you see. You can even steal from other actors' characterizations but if you do, only steal from the best.
Michael Caine
You're your first best audience, long before anybody else hears you. So don't be an easy audience. Keep asking for more.

You cannot have one bathroom. And it don't matter how much you love your wife and everything, 'cause you wind up with no room at all. You just get a little corner and you've got a toothbrush and your paste and a shaving brush and a razor. And you can never get in there. So you must have two bathrooms. You really must. I think it's essential.
Michael Caine
