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.

Let me put it this way: If you're sitting in a movie and you're watching me, and you say, 'Isn't that Michael Caine a wonderful actor?' then I've failed.

Growing up in Britain, Michael Caine has always been such an icon. Chatting with him, I know I came across as the biggest doofus. Literally, I was, like, bowing to him.

Yeah, I think Michael has had to deal with that label of being Michael Caine for a long time.

My favorite actor is Sir Ben Kingsley - nobody is as good as him, in my opinion. I think he's so good as an artist.

I think the first British actor who really worked well in cinema was Albert Finney. He was a back-street Marlon Brando. He brought a great wittiness and power to the screen. The best actor we've had.

I think Russell Crowe is a brilliant actor.

I had one day with him, and he was asleep in the scene, but I told my entire family that I was in a scene with Michael Caine.

I guess any movie actor can become a role model for audiences out there who enjoy him.

The person that made me want to make movies, and the reason I do films, is Bruce Lee. He was an incredible actor, and he had a lot of charisma. Handsome, action, you know, everything was there. I loved Bruce Lee.
