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.

More quotes by Michael Caine
I think what is British about me is my feelings and awareness of others and their situations. English people are always known to be well mannered and cold but we are not cold - we don't interfere in your situation. If we are heartbroken, we don't scream in your face with tears - we go home and cry on our own.
Michael Caine
It's vital to have your own space so you aren't constantly in each other's pockets.
Michael Caine
I've always got to have one impossible dream on the back burner.
Michael Caine
I don't worry about the last shot or the next shot. I concentrate. Every shot gets a clean slate. And when a shot is over, I wipe it out absolutely. Tell a joke or something. If you worry about how you looked, how well you did, you'll go insane.
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

The trouble with women? Elbows.
Michael Caine
I never bring a role home with me. The moment they say, 'It's a wrap,' it's gone completely. I'm a totally ruthless professional, and life is my family, not my work.
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
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 don't have to work, really, but I do enjoy working, and I do enjoy getting paid.
Michael Caine
I try to make everyone around me feel comfortable.
Michael Caine
Ive read an awful lot of books, Ive read alot of awful books
Michael Caine
I learned about life before I went into the theater, which is why I've been so happy. I was a soldier.
Michael Caine
I've made the transition from star to character actor and I'm thoroughly enjoying it.
Michael Caine
I usually control the environment I'm in, but my control is very quiet and subtle.
Michael Caine
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
I wear a baseball cap all the time, which I would never normally wear, and I walk very fast.
