Michael Caine Quotes

My view is that you should always remake failures because then you’ve got nowhere to go but up Picture Quote #1

Michael Caine is a movie star, but he’s also a great actor. I can’t say that about every movie star. It’s the concentration he has Picture Quote #1

Every magic trick consists of three parts, or acts. The first part is called the Pledge. The magician shows you something ordinary. The second act is called the Turn. The magician takes the ordinary something and makes it into something extraordinary. But you wouldn’t clap yet, because making something disappear isn’t enough. You have to bring it back Picture Quote #1

And to Tom Cruise, for if you had won this, your asking price would have gone down so fast. Do you have any idea what supporting actors get paid? We get only one trailer, a small one, in the back Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

My problem was that I was blond. There were no heroes with blond hair. Robert Taylor and Henry Fonda, they all had dark hair. The only one I found was Van Johnson, who wasn’t too cool. He was a nice, homely American boy. So I created my own image. It worked Picture Quote #1

When you’re a young actor you ring your agent every evening. It’s not like when you’re in Hollywood where you do one picture a year. You just hope you get a day on television Picture Quote #1

It’s funny, people ask me, ‘What would you consider the most romantic track on your record Mr Caine?’ And I say ‘Swollen’ by Bent, and they say ‘I think he’s off his rocker!’ Picture Quote #1

People say to me, why did you do those films, and I say, for money. It wasn’t for diamond rings or kidney shaped swimming pools in Beverly Hills, it was in order to improve the lot of everyone around me Picture Quote #1

I’ve been in every disco in the world. I saw a picture of my wife Shakira and I dancing in Studio 54; I didn’t even know someone had taken that picture Picture Quote #1

When I was a young actor I was in a lot of film doing one day work and two days’ work, and they’ve included all those titles, which I don’t even remember. I think I’ve played the lead in about 75 movies Picture Quote #1

You cannot have one bathroom. And it don’t matter how much you love your wife and everything, ‘cause you wind up with no room at all. You just get a little corner and you’ve got a toothbrush and your paste and a shaving brush and a razor. And you can never get in there. So you must have two bathrooms. You really must. I think it’s essential Picture Quote #1

I won an Academy Award for ‘The Cider House Rules,’ playing an American Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

In real life, I’m afraid of heights - and people who get moral convictions... Adolf Hitler in London Picture Quote #1

You don’t make any money when you’re my age. The stars get it all. That’s a lie, actually Picture Quote #1

I don’t want to be an English actor doing the greatest American accent you’ve ever heard. I want to be an American doing nothing Picture Quote #1

My wife, my daughters, even my grandchildren are funny. You’ve got to keep a sense of humor because anger destroys you Picture Quote #1

The Quiet American is anti the people who took them into the Vietnam War Picture Quote #1

If I work with a bad actor, my reaction is to immediately become worse than they are Picture Quote #1

I’m always slightly envious of people who become extremely rich without anyone knowing who the hell they are, like financiers Picture Quote #1

If you held a pistol at my head, I couldn’t tell you who they’re going to vote for Best Actor Picture Quote #1

I’m very, very family oriented. I’m a big cook and a good connoisseur and I only drink very good red wines now Picture Quote #1

I never look back at all. All of my sentiment and emotion goes into my family. I’m an extremely family oriented person and I have a very, very happy family life. That doesn’t just include blood relations. I have friends who are close to me Picture Quote #1

We can only use British actors because everybody’s got to talk exactly the same Picture Quote #1

I’ve made the transition from star to character actor and I’m thoroughly enjoying it Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

At age 11, I went to a Jewish school. I speak Yiddish. I’m Church of England Protestant. My father was Catholic, and my mother was Protestant. My wife is a Muslim Picture Quote #1

My circle of friends are not actors at all. None of them are actors, really, because they’re are not available. They’re always off somewhere Picture Quote #1

Growing up, there was only classical music on BBC Radio. We had to listen to the American Forces Network in Germany, which played pop songs, or the pirate radio boats off the coast Picture Quote #1
