More from Charlie Chaplin
"I am for the people. I am for the common man. I am for the working class. I am for everyone who is struggling."
"I don't like to talk about my films. I like to make them."
"I am a gentleman. I am a poet. I am a dreamer. But I am also a survivor."
"I went into the business for the money, and the art grew out of it."
"Let us strive for the impossible. Remember the great achievements throughout history have been the conquest of what seemed the impossible."
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.
