More quotes by Michael Caine
Ive read an awful lot of books, Ive read alot of awful books
Michael Caine
It's much harder to act in a bad film than in a good one. A terrible script makes for very difficult acting. You can win an Academy Award for some of the easiest acting in your career, made possible by a brilliant script.

When you reach the top, that's when the climb begins.
Michael Caine
If you're blond, as I am, and you have blond lashes, you have to wear mascara, otherwise you're invisible on stage.

Michael Caine
Someone said to me the other day: Well, you're eventually going to live until 110. And I said: Well, who's going to keep me? What age do I retire? 100? How are you going to live all those years and who is going to keep you doing it? I have a couple of grandchildren now so I'm banking on them.
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
You start pretending to have fun, you might have a little by accident.
Michael Caine
Some men just want to watch the world burn
Michael Caine
I spent 30 years of my life not being wanted at all for films.
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
I don't have any regrets because I'm very optimistic, and live each day as though it's the last.
Michael Caine
If you really want to become an actor, but only providing that acting doesn't interfere with your golf game, political ambitions and your life, you don't want to become an actor. Not only is acting more than a part time job, it's more than a full time job. It's a full time obsession.
Michael Caine
I'm hoping there's an afterlife. As you get older, you hope even more fervently.
Michael Caine
