Michael Caine Quotes

I'm enjoying 40. Old enough to know better, young enough not to care.

If you've never been 40, you don't understand how it feels.

The feelings we all have as 50-year-olds are different than the feelings we all have as 30-year-olds. That informs everything we do.

Whether it's 18 years old or 40 years old, we think we know what's going on. But if you're lucky enough to continue the journey, its amazing how we keep learning how much we didn't know.

Turning 50 is a little bit of a 'taking stock' moment. I feel probably a little dumber. I don't think I'm as sharp as I was when I was younger, but I'm definitely wiser and less likely to make gigantic blunders of an intellectual, spiritual, emotional or physical type.

I'm definitely a lot more comfortable now in my 40s than in my 30s - that's for sure.

All experience is good experience.

When I passed the age of 50, I learned how to control my emotions.

I don't have any issues with my age.

I remember when I was 33 or 34, it was devastating because I realized I wasn't a kid anymore. The great thing about 40 was that I really felt like I had life experience and knew what I was doing now.

There's no such thing is aging, but maturing and knowledge. It's beautiful, I call that beauty.

Many years ago, I used to say, 'I haven't lived long enough to be great.' Now I don't say that.

I feel like I've reached an age where I can relax a little bit with the knowledge of what I've been through, take all that experience and use it. I love the challenge of trying to get back to where I've been, and beyond it.

You get to be a certain age - I am 58 - and it becomes tricky not to become a caricature of yourself.

You just realize that you don't know everything there is to know. The older I get, the less I know, and that's a good thing. When I was young, I knew everything, and everything wasn't necessarily good.

Getting into your 30s, you don't feel the same as in your early 20s.

Now that I'm 40, I knew I wasn't going to pass for 25.

I feel as though going into middle age really suits me.

Being in one's 50s is a powerful time.

What I thought 41 would be at 26 is definitely not what I feel now. I still feel incredibly youthful on the inside, in my brain.

I'm OK being the veteran, but I'm still just a kid.

I feel like I'm 18, with the maturity level of like a 14-year-old. I'm still the same goofball; I'm still in college, as far as I'm concerned.

I think I'm a little more mature than the average guy.

As you get older you learn some balance and mediation in your life - that's where I am right now. I feel pretty comfortable about things.

I said 'No, I've aged, but grown up? No'.
