For all my education, accomplishments, and so called 'wisdom'... I can't fathom my own heart.
From Michael Caine
The best research for playing a drunk is being a British actor for 20 years.
My own mentality is that I've retired. They send me these scripts and if I absolutely have to do it, then I go to work.
There's quite a lot of bad stuff written about me. My wife even says a lot of bad stuff about me. But she is wonderful.
I'm a sort of boy next door. If that boy has a good scriptwriter.
The standing ovation threw me... to be held in such regard in a town so full of talent is quite something.
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.
I come from the slums; I come from a hard background; I come from a poor family; and I was a soldier.
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.
In the sixties, everyone you knew became famous. My flatmate was Terence Stamp. My barber was Vidal Sassoon. David Hockney did the menu in a restaurant I went to. I didn't know anyone unknown who didn't become famous.
