I had no idea of the character. But the moment I was dressed, the clothes and the makeup made me feel the person he was.

More from Charlie Chaplin
"I like friends as I like music - when I am in the mood."
"I like the people. I like to be around them. I like to make them laugh."
"However, he is not above picking up cigarette-butts or robbing a baby of its candy. And, of course, if the occasion warrants it, he will kick a lady in the rear—but only in extreme anger!"
"I have no patience with people who are always complaining. Life is too short for that."
"I remain just one thing, and one thing only -- and that is a clown."
About Charlie Chaplin (1889-1977)
English comic actor and silent-film auteur whose Tramp character defined early Hollywood and whose The Great Dictator (1940) satirized Hitler. Closely associated with Buster Keaton (silent-comedy peer of equal stature) and Harold Lloyd (third silent-comedy giant). For an intellectual contrast, see J. Edgar Hoover, FBI director (1924-1972) — Hoover pursued Chaplin for years on suspected communist sympathies, leading to the 1952 revocation of Chaplin's US re-entry permit and his Swiss exile — Hoover represented the McCarthy-era national-security state that was the institutional opposite of Chaplin's pro-immigrant Tramp humanism.
