It's much harder to act in a bad film than in a good one. A terrible script makes for very difficult acting. You can win an Academy Award for some of the easiest acting in your career, made possible by a brilliant script.

More quotes by Michael Caine
I don't have any regrets because I'm very optimistic, and live each day as though it's the last.
Michael Caine
I don't want to sound like Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells, but I do think there should be some sort of national service for young men.
Michael Caine
You've got to be flexible. Directors do a massive amount of planning and homework, and if after all that your director decides to throw it all out of the window and shoot spontaneously, then you must follow his lead.
Michael Caine
A lot of movie stars are not great actors they're just very good-looking. And when they start to age and they don't have the looks any more, then it's over.
Michael Caine
I've never taken drugs - if you take a drug of your choice, you get some ecstatic feeling.
Michael Caine

Michael Caine
I think it would be great for the Academy to recognize old age.
Michael Caine
For me, the performance was always playing different people. And so when I got older, was no longer the romantic leading movie star, it became more and more interesting for me, the characters I played, you know?
Michael Caine
The American cinema in general always made stories about working-class people the British rarely did. Any person with my working-class background would be a villain or a comic cipher, usually badly played, and with a rotten accent. There weren't a lot of guys in England for me to look up to.
Michael Caine
I never regret anything. I always said that when I'm old, I want to be sitting there regretting the things that I did and not the things that I didn't do and now I'm old, and I don't regret anything! I had fun. I had fun, and I'm still having it.
Michael Caine
I'm not a betting man, and even if I was, I certainly wouldn't bet on this! I would not bet on the Best Actor.
Michael Caine
I've made the transition from star to character actor and I'm thoroughly enjoying it.
Michael Caine
Use the difficulties - if you can't avoid them
Michael Caine
I don't have to work, really, but I do enjoy working, and I do enjoy getting paid.
Michael Caine
Maybe it's time we all stop trying to outsmart the truth and let it have its day.
Michael Caine
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.
Michael Caine
I have been rich and I have been poor. I know which one I prefer.
Michael Caine
I usually control the environment I'm in, but my control is very quiet and subtle.
Michael Caine
Obsession is a young man's game, and my only excuse is that I never grew old.
Michael Caine
If you put someone on screen long enough, they become the hero.
