More quotes by Michael Caine
I see myself as 38, but you don't notice it.
Michael Caine
When you reach the top, that's when the climb begins.
Michael Caine
You cannot have one bathroom. And it don't matter how much you love your wife and everything, 'cause you wind up with no room at all. You just get a little corner and you've got a toothbrush and your paste and a shaving brush and a razor. And you can never get in there. So you must have two bathrooms. You really must. I think it's essential.
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

Michael Caine
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.
Michael Caine
If you're a movie star, you get the girl, you lose the girl, and then you get her back. But if you're a character like me, you lose the girl, then you get another one, then you get another one, then you lose them all, then you lose your life.
Michael Caine
Hollywood is a cross between a health farm, a recreation center and an insane asylum. It's a company town, and I happen to like the company!
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
You can't get blase about something you haven't done yet.
Michael Caine
First of all, I choose the great roles, and if none of these come, I choose the mediocre ones, and if they don't come, I choose the ones that pay the rent.
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
For all my education, accomplishments, and so called 'wisdom'... I can't fathom my own heart.
Michael Caine
I come from the slums I come from a hard background I come from a poor family and I was a soldier.
Michael Caine
I never look back at all. All of my sentiment and emotion goes into my family. I'm an extremely family oriented person and I have a very, very happy family life. That doesn't just include blood relations. I have friends who are close to me.
Michael Caine
Save your money. You're going to need twice as much money in your old age as you think.
