More quotes by Michael Caine
You must always steal, but only from the best people. Steal any trick that looks worthwhile.

I've been acting a long time, and I can play a Cockney gangster or a womanizer in my sleep or standing on my head.

A French Nazi is about as far away from me as I can possibly get without actually going to Mars or something.
