Danh ngôn của Michael Caine (Sứ mệnh: 2)

For all my education, accomplishments, and so called 'wisdom'... I can't fathom my own heart.
Funny things happen to you in movies for silly reasons.
I felt a tremendous sadness for men who can't deal with a woman of their own age.
January is the garbage can of movies in America, directly after all the Oscar contenders have been out.
Save your money. You're going to need twice as much money in your old age as you think.
I'm every bourgeois nightmare - a Cockney with intelligence and a million dollars.
I think what is British about me is my feelings and awareness of others and their situations. English people are always known to be well mannered and cold but we are not cold - we don't interfere in your situation. If we are heartbroken, we don't scream in your face with tears - we go home and cry on our own.
I am in so many movies that are on TV at 2:00 a.m. that people think I am dead.
Hollywood is a cross between a health farm, a recreation center and an insane asylum. It's a company town, and I happen to like the company!
I feel like 35. At 35 you're old enough to know something and young enough to look forward to what you can do with the knowledge. So I stayed at 35!
My problem was that I was blond. There were no heroes with blond hair. Robert Taylor and Henry Fonda, they all had dark hair. The only one I found was Van Johnson, who wasn't too cool. He was a nice, homely American boy. So I created my own image. It worked.
In the sixties, everyone you knew became famous. My flatmate was Terence Stamp. My barber was Vidal Sassoon. David Hockney did the menu in a restaurant I went to. I didn't know anyone unknown who didn't become famous.
For me, the performance was always playing different people. And so when I got older, was no longer the romantic leading movie star, it became more and more interesting for me, the characters I played, you know?
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.
Every time you get a movie, you get a medical. So you know, you know you're alright for a couple of weeks.
I don't think you retire from movies; movies retire you.
I come from the slums; I come from a hard background; I come from a poor family; and I was a soldier.
Am I a car aficionado? No: for me, cars have always been just for transport. I didn't even know anyone who had a car until I was 14 or 15.
At age 11, I went to a Jewish school. I speak Yiddish. I'm Church of England Protestant. My father was Catholic, and my mother was Protestant. My wife is a Muslim.
My wife, my daughters, even my grandchildren are funny. You've got to keep a sense of humor because anger destroys you.
A lot of movie stars are not great actors; they're just very good-looking. And when they start to age and they don't have the looks any more, then it's over.
