Yeah that’s the go to in any art discipline. Become “inspired” by multiple things in such a way that you develop a soup of ideas that is expressed uniquely in your particular configuration.

This is 100% true, and applies to all of the arts. Music especially.

It’s alright officer, Michael Caine told me I could steal this Rolex

“Good Artists borrow, great Artists steal.”

Unironically, this is how you get good at any art. Steal things but adjust it to match your style.

The full video this comes from is a Michael Caine Masterclass given on tv in 1985. It is totally brilliant - a classic 'once seen, never forgotten.' You want to know how to engage with the camera? How to blink? Where to look? Then hunt this video down and enjoy. (And note that one of the students is the great Celia Imrie!)

I work in care for young adults with learning disabilities, im always telling this to new staff. If you see something working and making people happy steal it and add a sprinkle of you to it

All I can see whilst watching this is Peter Serafinowicz

I like how he explains how to look at camera.

Stravinsky said the greatest composers don't borrow, they steal. And he was one of the great innovators in modern music.

Michael is teaching the actors how to learn from watching other actors.

[mattylenczuk]

Instructions unclear, facing shoplifting charges

[KiatHuang]

This man looks and sounds just like Michael Caine from the movies!

[DylansPen]

Spielberg said whenever he got stuck making a movie he'd go home and watch movies to get ideas.

British museum 101: if you can see it steal it 😂

[livb]

It's not stealing, it's learning

"If an idea is truly great, a man is not only right to steal it, he is obligated to do so."
