Michael Caine
If you think you're going to be up for an Oscar, you schedule your moviemaking.
Michael Caine
I'm looking for me to disappear, and the acting to disappear, and all you see is a real person.
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
The standing ovation threw me. ... To be held in such regard in a town so full of talent is quite something.
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
