I'm forever testing myself. As a person and as an actor, I have no sense of competition.
From Michael Caine
I regard myself as someone who is retired but who occasionally goes out to work. In fact, I'm offered so much good stuff that it's not so occasional.

I admired Marlon Brando as I grew up. I though he was one of the finest screen actors around.
Do I believe in God? Yes I do. When you've had a life like mine, you have to.

I won an Academy Award for 'The Cider House Rules,' playing an American.
I was a repertory actor, which meant that I did a play every week. I was a different character every week; for a year, I was doing 40 or 50 characters.
I don't meet stockbrokers or carpenters or coal miners; I spend all day with actors, composers and photographers.
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.
