I had no idea of the character. But the moment I was dressed, the clothes and the make-up made me feel the person he was. I began to know him, and by the time I walked onto the stage he was fully born.

More quotes by Charlie Chaplin
I do not have much patience with a thing of beauty that must be explained to be understood. If it does need additional interpretation by someone other than the creator, then I question whether it has fulfilled its purpose.
Charlie Chaplin
Man is an animal with primary instincts of survival. Consequently his ingenuity has developed first and his soul afterwards. The progress of science is far ahead of man's ethical behavior.
Charlie Chaplin
Don’t fight for slavery! Fight for liberty! [...] You, the people, have the power, the power to create machines, the power to create happiness! You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure.
Charlie Chaplin
My pain may be the reason for somebody's laugh. But my laugh must never be the reason for somebody's pain.

Charlie Chaplin
I am not a political man and I have no political convictions. I am an individual and a believer in liberty. That is all the politics I have. On the other hand I am not a super-patriot. Super-patriotism leads to Hitlerism - and we've had our lesson there. I don't want to create a revolution - I just want to create a few more films.
Charlie Chaplin
Anyone can make them cry, but it takes a genius to make them laugh.
Charlie Chaplin
I am not religious in the dogmatic sense... I neither believe nor disbelieve in anything.
Charlie Chaplin
Dictators free themselves, but they enslave the people!
Charlie Chaplin
Moving pictures need sound as much as Beethoven symphonies need lyrics.
Charlie Chaplin
More than machinery, we need humanity.
Charlie Chaplin
From such trivia, I believe my soul was born.
Charlie Chaplin
That is why, no matter how desperate the predicament is, I am always very much in earnest about clutching my cane, straightening my derby hat and fixing my tie, even though I have just landed on my head.
Charlie Chaplin
I've arrived at the age where a platonic friendship can be sustained on the highest moral plane.
Charlie Chaplin
