I am in so many movies that are on TV at 2:00 a.m. that people think I am dead.
Michael Caine
Image
I feel like 35. At 35 you're old enough to know something and young enough to look forward to what you can do with the knowledge. So I stayed at 35!

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
Image
I don't have any regrets because I'm very optimistic, and live each day as though it's the last.

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.

I never regret anything. I always said that when I'm old, I want to be sitting there regretting the things that I did and not the things that I didn't do and now I'm old, and I don't regret anything! I had fun. I had fun, and I'm still having it.

Just because I have made a point of never losing my accent it doesn't mean I'm an eel-and-pie yob.
