But the whole point of the Sixties was that you had to take people as they were. If you came in with us you left your class, and colour, and religion behind, that was what the Sixties was all about.

I'm not tough anymore, I'm 82.
Michael Caine
I spent my life in the library reading books.
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
I'm looking for me to disappear, and the acting to disappear, and all you see is a real person.
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.

Presenting the Oscars was the most nerve-racking job I have ever done in show business. It's very much a live show: they have comedy writers waiting in the wings, and as you come off between presentations, they hand you an appropriate gag to tell.
Michael Caine
If you put someone on screen long enough, they become the hero.
Michael Caine
If you're blond, as I am, and you have blond lashes, you have to wear mascara, otherwise you're invisible on stage.
Michael Caine
I was so poor for so long that I didn't use anything. I didn't drive cars, I didn't eat very much. So, I figured the world owed me a debt, so I've been eating very well and have had a very big car for a long time. But I still haven't caught up with my youth.
Michael Caine
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 wear a baseball cap all the time, which I would never normally wear, and I walk very fast.
Michael Caine
Be patient.Of course it will come. It took me years to get an Oscar.
Michael Caine
If you're a gardener you don't need a gym. [...] You're always carrying large sacks of manure all over.
Michael Caine
If I see any injustice done, I have a big enough mouth and the position to open up about it.
Michael Caine
Save your money. You're going to need twice as much money in your old age as you think.
Michael Caine
I won an Academy Award for 'The Cider House Rules,' playing an American.
Michael Caine
If you're a movie actor, you're on your own - you cannot control the stage. The director controls it.
Michael Caine
You can't get blase about something you haven't done yet.
Michael Caine
I think it would be great for the Academy to recognize old age.
Michael Caine
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.
