More quotes by Michael Caine

Michael Caine
I felt a tremendous sadness for men who can't deal with a woman of their own age.
Michael Caine
For all my education, accomplishments, and so called 'wisdom'... I can't fathom my own heart.

As an actor, my attitude towards using of film versus digital is, if you have film, filmmakers have to cut eventually so you don't have to learn all that dialogue. With digital, they can just go on forever and it's a nightmare. So, I like film - nice short takes.
Michael Caine
I've always got to have one impossible dream on the back burner.
Michael Caine
I don't have to work. I suppose I should retire. But I enjoy working.

I was born Maurice Joseph Micklewhite. Imagine signing that autograph! You'd get a broken arm. So I changed my name to Michael Caine after Humphrey Bogart's 'The Caine Mutiny,' which was playing in the theater across from the telephone booth where I learned that I'd gotten my first TV job.

Michael Caine

Michael Caine
I usually control the environment I'm in, but my control is very quiet and subtle.
Michael Caine
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
You can see all sorts of things in film acting if you know where to look and what to look for. One thing I often notice is that the actor is looking for his mark, the place where he has to stand to be in the right place in the shot.
Michael Caine
If you're a movie actor, you're on your own - you cannot control the stage. The director controls it.
Michael Caine
They use those monitors now, and sometimes you'll be doing a shot and then suddenly you see yourself on one of those monitors, and I always say turn the monitor round, I don't want to see myself on the monitor. I never see myself 'til the movie's finished.
Michael Caine
I won an Academy Award for 'The Cider House Rules,' playing an American.
Michael Caine
I'm looking for me to disappear, and the acting to disappear, and all you see is a real person.
