More quotes by Michael Caine
I felt a tremendous sadness for men who can't deal with a woman of their own age.
Michael Caine
There's only two things I hate in this world. People who are intolerant of other people's cultures and the Dutch.
Michael Caine
I spent my life in the library reading books.
Michael Caine
If you're an actor and you don't act for a long time you sort of think, I wonder if I can still do it.
Michael Caine
Just because I have made a point of never losing my accent it doesn't mean I'm an eel-and-pie yob.
Michael Caine
I've always played very human sort of characters.
Michael Caine
I have been rich and I have been poor. I know which one I prefer.
Michael Caine
You must always steal, but only from the best people. Steal any trick that looks worthwhile. If you see Vivien Leigh or Robert DeNiro or Meryl Streep do something stunningly effective, and you can analyze how he or she did it, then pinch it. Because you can be sure that they stole it in the first place.
Michael Caine
I started with the firm conviction that when I came to the end, I wanted to be regretting the things that I had done, not the things I hadn't.
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.
Michael Caine
The three actors I admire the most are all dead. Humphrey Bogart, Spencer Tracy and the French actor, Jean Gabin. They're all very natural, sort of masculine without being overly macho.
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
Maybe it's time we all stop trying to outsmart the truth and let it have its day.
Michael Caine
Books were my window on the world. Growing up at the Elephant and Castle, which was very rough, my paradise was the library.
Michael Caine
If I work with a bad actor, my reaction is to immediately become worse than they are.
Michael Caine
The standing ovation threw me. ... To be held in such regard in a town so full of talent is quite something.
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
I'm hoping there's an afterlife. As you get older, you hope even more fervently.
Michael Caine
I never listened to the people who said I should give it up, which is the main advice I got.
Michael Caine
I spent 30 years of my life not being wanted at all for films.
Michael Caine
