More quotes by Michael Caine

Michael Caine
How can I change me to suit the script?

Michael Caine
If you're a movie actor, you're on your own - you cannot control the stage. The director controls it.
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
I just try to play more and more difficult roles.
Michael Caine
Do you know that the harder thing to do and the right thing to do are usually the same thing? Nothing that has meaning is easy,Easy doesn't enter into grown-up life.

Michael Caine
You can't get blase about something you haven't done yet.
Michael Caine
I started with the firm conviction that when I came to the end, I wanted to be regretting the things that I had done, not the things I hadn't.
Michael Caine
You get paid the same for a bad film as you do for a good one.
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
This is your life, Larry. Learn to enjoy what you've got.
Michael Caine
I'm every bourgeois nightmare - a Cockney with intelligence and a million dollars.
Michael Caine
If you're a gardener you don't need a gym. [...] You're always carrying large sacks of manure all over.
Michael Caine
I don't have to work, really, but I do enjoy working, and I do enjoy getting paid.
Michael Caine
I don't like getting up early in the morning and learning all that stuff. I work with offers that I can't refuse.
Michael Caine
