More quotes by 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
I never bring a role home with me. The moment they say, 'It's a wrap,' it's gone completely. I'm a totally ruthless professional, and life is my family, not my work.
Michael Caine
There's quite a lot of bad stuff written about me. My wife even says a lot of bad stuff about me. But she is wonderful.
Michael Caine
Obsession is a young man's game, and my only excuse is that I never grew old.
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
I think it would be great for the Academy to recognize old age.
Michael Caine
I've always got to have one impossible dream on the back burner.
Michael Caine
You start pretending to have fun, you might have a little by accident.
Michael Caine
I've been on movies where I literally couldn't hear what the other actor was saying. It's very awkward.
Michael Caine
I don't do it often, but I do cry. I also laugh a lot people tell me I'm funny and I do like to laugh.
Michael Caine
I don't meet stockbrokers or carpenters or coal miners I spend all day with actors, composers and photographers.
Michael Caine
I don't have to work, really, but I do enjoy working, and I do enjoy getting paid.
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 have to work. I suppose I should retire. But I enjoy working.
Michael Caine
Some men just want to watch the world burn
Michael Caine
But the whole point of the Sixties was that you had to take people as they were. If you came in with us you left your class, and colour, and religion behind, that was what the Sixties was all about.
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
The American cinema in general always made stories about working-class people the British rarely did. Any person with my working-class background would be a villain or a comic cipher, usually badly played, and with a rotten accent. There weren't a lot of guys in England for me to look up to.
Michael Caine
I admired Marlon Brando as I grew up. I though he was one of the finest screen actors around.
Michael Caine
80 percent of any gang is not there to attack someone. They're there so no one will attack them.
