I try to make everyone around me feel comfortable.
editors lazy trying
I'm trying to work only with established, respected directors. I took a lot of bad scripts and worked for a lot of lazy directors, and it was discouraging to go to the screenings and see that the director had added nothing, the editor had added nothing, there was nothing to see.
trying lucky film
In my early days, I didn't know what a good film or a bad film was, and I was trying to make some money. As it happens I was lucky. I made some good films.
always-trying actors lasts
I am a great admirer of other actors, but I never compete with other actors. I always compete with what I did last, and I'm my own most vicious critic. So I'm always trying to do it better.
play trying roles
I just try to play more and more difficult roles.

Maybe its time we stop trying to avoid the truth and let it have its day.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
