More quotes by Michael Caine
I need a challenge 'cause I don't get the girl anymore.
Michael Caine
English is clipped in speech. Texas is exactly the opposite.
Michael Caine
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. But what I try to do is I try to find characters that are as far away from me as I possibly can and then make them real. A French Nazi is about as far away from me as I can possibly get without actually going to Mars or something.
Michael Caine
I want to stick around with the big boys. I don't want to be in the old folks home.
Michael Caine
If I work with a bad actor, my reaction is to immediately become worse than they are.
Michael Caine
I'm not tough anymore, I'm 82.
Michael Caine
At 69, I got the girl! And it wasn't a 68-year-old girl, either.
Michael Caine
Save your money. You're going to need twice as much money in your old age as you think.
Michael Caine
I don't think human beings are bad. They're weak. And that's what makes 'em bad.
Michael Caine
I've done a lot of radio in my life. I've done radio plays for the BBC when I was young so I was absolutely used to that style of work, of working with the voice. I have a very distinctive voice so it's always great for me because I open my mouth and everybody knows who it is.
Michael Caine
You can't get blase about something you haven't done yet.
Michael Caine
I've never been competitive with other actors. I've been competitive with myself and I'm my own worst critic, a terrible critic I am, and unless I get something right, I feel very unhappy.
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
I see myself as 38, but you don't notice it.
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
Acting is not a competition everything must be done for the good of the film or else everybody loses.
Michael Caine
I don't think you retire from movies movies retire you.
Michael Caine
You're never too old to be crazy.
Michael Caine
You don't sacrifice your individuality you sacrifice a lot of freedom.
Michael Caine
What it is is that comedy is underrepresented in every actor's life, because it's so bloody difficult to write. Anyone can write, and then you leave it to special effects to make it look good. But comedy, you've got to do some writing.
Michael Caine
