Michael Caine Filmography

• “The greatest compliment anyone could give me is that I’m a great father and a great husband, and I am — ask my wife and daughters and they’ll tell you."
• “But sending myself up is a new sport and I love doing that. Unless you have a sense of humour about yourself, you become really arrogant and a bore."
• “I meet so many actors who have no sense of humour about themselves and it’s very painful."
• “When I was offered the part of Nigel, I already had a feeling that Austin Powers was based on my character Harry Palmer from The Ipcress File from ’65 and Funeral In Berlin from ’66. Then Mike (Myers) wrote me a letter saying it was. As I was a creative father of Austin Powers I thought I’d better be the real one."
• I have a great sense of humour in real life but I’ve made a lot of serious movies so I thought I’d better do a funny one.
• “Mike is a tremendous Anglophile and he is very knowledgable about Britain."
• “I only do what I want, work-wise. It’s the fun of it. I’m too old to get up and be with people who I don’t want to be with just for the money.
• “I had been out of work for so long and I was amazed people wanted me. I had a lot of debts and a family and I went out and I made masses of pictures."
• "My career is going better now than when I wasw younger. It used to be that I'd get the girl but not the part. Now I get the part but not the girl."
