More quotes by Michael Caine
How can I change me to suit the script?
Michael Caine
When I look in the mirror, I see someone who's happy with how he looks, because I was never one of the handsome Hollywood people. And I've had success as I've gotten older, because I'm able to play characters. I no longer get the girl, but I get the part.
Michael Caine
My most useful acting tip came from my pal John Wayne. Talk low, talk slow, and don't say too much.
Michael Caine
Do I believe in God? Yes I do. When you've had a life like mine, you have to.
Michael Caine
English is clipped in speech. Texas is exactly the opposite.
Michael Caine
I didn't know what I knew. I wasn't aware of what I knew.
Michael Caine
Growing up, there was only classical music on BBC Radio. We had to listen to the American Forces Network in Germany, which played pop songs, or the pirate radio boats off the coast.
Michael Caine
I admired Marlon Brando as I grew up. I though he was one of the finest screen actors around.
Michael Caine

Michael Caine
I don't want to sound like Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells, but I do think there should be some sort of national service for young men.
Michael Caine

Michael Caine
I'm not a betting man, and even if I was, I certainly wouldn't bet on this! I would not bet on the Best Actor.
Michael Caine
I don't have to work, really, but I do enjoy working, and I do enjoy getting paid.
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
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
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
I've made the transition from star to character actor and I'm thoroughly enjoying it.
Michael Caine
I spent my life in the library reading books.
