I Did Everything. I Ran My Life

I Was Born Maurice Joseph Micklewhite. Imagine Signing That Autograph! You'd Get A Broken Arm. So I Changed My Name To Michael Caine After Humphrey Bogart's 'the Caine Mutiny,' Which Was Playing In The Theater Across From The Telephone Booth Where I Learned That I'd Gotten My First Tv Job.

The Best Research For Playing A Drunk Is Being A British Actor For 20 Years.

If I Work With A Bad Actor, My Reaction Is To Immediately Become Worse Than They Are.

To Be A Movie Star, You Have To Carry A Movie. And To Carry A Movie Where You Play The Title Role Is The Supreme Example.

I've Never Been Competitive With Other Actors. I've Been Competitive With Myself And I'm My Own Worst Critic, A Terrible Critic I Am, And Unless I Get Something Right, I Feel Very Unhappy.
