More from Charlie Chaplin
"Everything a contradiction: the pants baggy, the coat tight, the hat small and the shoes large."
"Simplicity is a difficult thing to achieve."
"I suppose that is the secret of my success. I have never been afraid to make a fool of myself."
"I have no regrets. I have lived my life the way I wanted to live it."
"These days if you step off the curb with your left foot, they accuse you being a communist."
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.
