Michael Caine Want Quotations

I don't want to sound like Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells, but I do think there should be some sort of national service for young men.

I don't want to be an English actor doing the greatest American accent you've ever heard. I want to be an American doing nothing.

I did everything. I ran my life exactly as I wanted to, all the time. I never listened to anybody. I'm pig-headed.

Wherever I live, if there isn't a restaurant I want to go to of a certain type, then I open it. That's all. For selfish reasons.

The first actor I ever saw was The Lone Ranger. I thought, That's what I want to do.

The first thing I'll do if I want to look really crappy is, I don't wear any makeup at all.

I want to stick around with the big boys. I don't want to be in the old folks home.

I spent 30 years of my life not being wanted at all for films.

I didn't want to come in the movie every so often, every 20 minutes saying, 'Dinner is served, would you like coffee?'

Hey, I always say: if you want a quiet life, become a monk.

They use those monitors now, and sometimes you'll be doing a shot and then suddenly you see yourself on one of those monitors, and I always say turn the monitor round, I don't want to see myself on the monitor. I never see myself 'til the movie's finished.

I think life has got to develop as you get older, and I don't want to be wandering along doing the same old thing. I want more out of life.
