If you're a leading actor you don't work with another actor. You work with a lady.

There is no point in competing with young talent...I just concentrate on getting better each day.

You get paid the same for a bad film as you do for a good one.

As an actor, I'll play anything.

Oh, what a shock. My career must be slipping. This is the first time I've been available to pick up an award.

God willing, even I might scrape a nomination.

I was born Maurice Joseph Micklewhite. Imagine signing that autograph! You'd get a broken arm. So I changed my name to Michael Caine after Humphrey Bogart's 'The Caine Mutiny,' which was playing in the theater across from the telephone booth where I learned that I'd gotten my first TV job.
