To Be A Movie Star, You Have

I Spent My Entire Time Reading Books And Going To The Cinema, Just To Escape.

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.

I Was A Repertory Actor, Which Meant That I Did A Play Every Week. I Was A Different Character Every Week; For A Year, I Was Doing 40 Or 50 Characters.

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.

God Willing, Even I Might Scrape A Nomination.
