All I need to make a comedy is a park, a policeman and a pretty girl. – Charlie Chaplin
I went into the business for the money, and the art grew out of it. If people are disillusioned by that remark, I cant help it. Its the truth. – Charlie Chaplin
A tramp, a gentleman, a poet, a dreamer, a lonely fellow, always hopeful of romance and adventure. – Charlie Chaplin
