The creative process is a mystery. I don't know how it works, and I don't want to know. I just want to do it.

More from Charlie Chaplin
"Patriotism is the greatest insanity the world has ever suffered."
"I am a tramp, but I am an artist."
"In this book I do not intend to give a blow-by-blow description of a sex bout: I find them inartistic, clinical and unpoetic. The circumstances that lead up to sex I find more interesting."
"My pain may be the reason for somebody's laugh. But my laugh must never be the reason for somebody's pain."
"We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other's happiness—not by each other's misery."
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.
