QUOTES BY Sir Michael Caine


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.

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.

I need a challenge 'cause I don't get the girl anymore.

I just try to play more and more difficult roles.

I just work in order to improve myself as an actor which is what I've always done.

I've never taken drugs - if you take a drug of your choice, you get some ecstatic feeling.

I'm very, very family oriented. I'm a big cook and a good connoisseur and I only drink very good red wines now.

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

If you're a gardener you don't need a gym. [...] You're always carrying large sacks of manure all over.
