class people colour
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.
class just-saying being-true
I feel that I helped the working class by just saying there are no barriers, which I consider to be true.
class people guy
The American cinema in general always made stories about working-class people; the British rarely did. Any person with my working-class background would be a villain or a comic cipher, usually badly played, and with a rotten accent. There weren't a lot of guys in England for me to look up to.
class lectures four
Things are not quite what they seem always. Don't start me on class, otherwise you'll get a four-hour lecture.
talking class ideas
If someone is very upper-class, you have a stereotype of him which is probably true. If someone has a working-class accent, you have no idea who you're talking to.
mean eels class
Just because I have made a point of never losing my accent it doesn't mean I'm an eel-and-pie yob.
europeans fancy passing secret successful
I think I have the secret of a successful L.A. restaurant, especially now that so many Europeans live there. You have to have a place where they can see out the windows, see the world passing by. Europeans fancy that.
career girl
My career is going better now than when I was younger. It used to be that I'd get the girl but not the part. Now I get the part but not the girl.
michael name people
My name is Michael Caine - not a lot of people know that.
boys people
People say I've 'retained' my Cockney accent. I can do any accent, but I wanted other working-class boys to know that they could become actors.
michael
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.
alright medical time
Every time you get a movie, you get a medical. So you know, you know you're alright for a couple of weeks.
anyone attacking eighty gang hit join people realize stop
What a lot of people don't realize about gangs, in my opinion, is that a gang is not there to attack you. Eighty percent of the people in a gang are there to stop anyone from attacking them. You join a gang for protection, not to go out and hit someone.
movies people
I am in so many movies that are on TV at 2:00 a.m. that people think I am dead.
