More quotes by 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 need a challenge 'cause I don't get the girl anymore.
Michael Caine
Obsession is a young man’s game.
Michael Caine
My view of actors is that basically they're all harmless lunatics who'd be on the psychiatrist's couch.
Michael Caine
I'm not a betting man, and even if I was, I certainly wouldn't bet on this! I would not bet on the Best Actor.
Michael Caine
They use those monitors now, and sometimes you'll be doing a shot and then suddenly you see yourself on one of those monitors, and I always say turn the monitor round, I don't want to see myself on the monitor. I never see myself 'til the movie's finished.
Michael Caine
You can't get blase about something you haven't done yet.
Michael Caine
I didn't know what I knew. I wasn't aware of what I knew.
Michael Caine
I never listened to the people who said I should give it up, which is the main advice I got.
Michael Caine
My closest friends are Roger Moore, who is an actor, Sean Connery, who is an actor, Terry O'Neill, who is a photographer, Johnny Gold, who was the boss of Tramp, and Leslie Bricusse, who is a composer.
Michael Caine
Anyone can write. But comedy, you've got to do some writing. You get one comedy script to every 20 dramas.
Michael Caine
About Superman and Batman: the former is how America views itself, the latter, darker character is how the rest of the world views America.
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
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
It’s a lesson in life—don’t look back, you’ll trip over.
Michael Caine
When you reach the top, that's when the climb begins.
Michael Caine
I'm not tough anymore, I'm 82.
Michael Caine
Just because I have made a point of never losing my accent it doesn't mean I'm an eel-and-pie yob.
Michael Caine
There's only two things I hate in this world. People who are intolerant of other people's cultures and the Dutch.
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.
