When we got off the streetcar at Times Square, it was somewhat of a letdown. Newspapers were blowing about the road and pavement, and Broadway looked seedy, like a slovenly woman just out of bed (Charlie Chaplin Quotes)
My idol growing up was Charlie Chaplin. I was obsessed with him. I mean, while other kids were watching Jim Carrey and the likes in the 90s, I was watching Charlie Chaplin films, because I was a bit of a geek. I became obsessed with this idea of physical comedy (Charlie Chaplin Quotes)
We felt that the public, and especially the children, like animals that are cute and little. I think we are rather indebted to Charlie Chaplin for the idea. We wanted something appealing, and we thought of a tiny bit of a mouse that would have something of the wistfulness of Chaplin- a little fellow trying to do the best he could (Charlie Chaplin Quotes)
The Kingdom of God is within man, not one man nor a group of men, but in all men! In you! (Charlie Chaplin Quotes)
He [Charlie Chaplin] was always playing as if it were to the camera, if you’ve seen the live shots of him when he’s going to an opening night or something like that.

I thought if I could do stand-up comedy well enough, I could parlay it back into films - like Charlie Chaplin and Woody Allen did. They merged principles of comedy and drama together, and that’s what my first film really was, a stab at that kind of comedy (Charlie Chaplin Quotes)
I’ve arrived at the age where a platonic friendship can be sustained on the highest moral plane. (Charlie Chaplin Quotes)
Words seem so futile, so feeble. You are all such lovely, beautiful people ... thank you. (Charlie Chaplin Quotes)

When you see Charlie Chaplin, he stays funny. He doesn’t become drama, and so what really seems to endure is comedy. (Charlie Chaplin Quotes)
I know of only six genuine comic geniuses in movie history; Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Groucho Marx and Harpo Marx, Peter Sellers, and W.C. Fields. (Charlie Chaplin Quotes)
I didn’t even know what a film director was. To me, Charlie Chaplin was a goofy clown, and John Ford - what? Never heard of him. (Charlie Chaplin Quotes)
I’m not Charlie Chaplin and will never, ever claim to be. But when I become the ‘Tramp,’ I can feel the hair stand up on the back of my neck. (Charlie Chaplin Quotes)
For some of the large indignities of life, the best remedy is direct action. For the small indignities, the best remedy is a Charlie Chaplin movie. The hard part is knowing the difference. (Charlie Chaplin Quotes)
I think there’s plenty of room, even in the most serious activist circles, for humor. Humor can be very effective both to inspire, and as a weapon. Just ask Frank Zappa and Charlie Chaplin. (Charlie Chaplin Quotes)
Comedy is a universal language. I grew up watching Nagesh, Surilirajan, Thenga Srinivasan and S.V. Shekhar’s comedies. And, of course, Charlie Chaplin! These artists are so blessed: they can make other people happy. (Charlie Chaplin Quotes)
The end of ‘City Lights’ makes me cry every time I see it - when Charlie Chaplin walks by the shop window and the once-blind girl brings him a flower and pins it to his lapel. (Charlie Chaplin Quotes)
Charlie Chaplin said something to the effect that humor is an act of defiance, that we must laugh in the face of our helplessness in the forces of nature or go insane. And where is he now? Dead. (Charlie Chaplin Quotes)
I grew up watching a lot of old movies, so getting to ask about making movies in the 70s and people he was friends with, like Orson Welles, Lillian Hellman and Charlie Chaplin, and hearing a first-person account was pretty incredible. (Charlie Chaplin Quotes)
I grew up and I was weaned on the Marx Brothers. They were sort of my all-time favorite. My parents showed me their movies when I was very young. And as I got older, I became a Charlie Chaplin fan, and I love Buster Keaton. (Charlie Chaplin Quotes)
My initial introduction to him was - this is a funny story... My Aunt Marian, my entire life growing up, told me that I looked like Charlie Chaplin. That didn’t really resonate with me when I was younger - I hadn’t seen a lot of his films. (Charlie Chaplin Quotes)
I don’t want to compare myself to him - I don’t want people to see me as this great genius - but when I see Charlie Chaplin’s movies there is a combination of drama, naivety and social meaning that I can see in myself, at a different level. (Charlie Chaplin Quotes)
There are people that I am in love with, totally in love with them. I would die for them. I love Michelangelo. I love Charlie Chaplin with all my heart. I love Walt Disney. These are the people I am nuts over. These are my people. I love the great ones. (Charlie Chaplin Quotes)
Charlie Chaplin is the greatest artist of the 20th century. He takes me from laughter to tears in seconds. And he was one of the very first funny men. It’s like the original violins were made in Cremona and there’s never been any better since. Sometimes the best come right off the bat. (Charlie Chaplin Quotes)
American culture has a lot of great moustaches in its history. Mark Twain had a great moustache, Charlie Chaplin, Ben Turpin ... but Zappa, he’s got the best moustache in American history. Got the moustache, right, and he’s got that little thing on his chin, I think it’s called an imperial, that is, like, the coolest thing. That’s like one of the great icons of the twentieth century. (Charlie Chaplin Quotes)
When people say ‘Charlie Chaplin’ I still think now of the guy in the moustache and bowler hat and funny walk - I don’t think of an old man who was my grandfather. (Charlie Chaplin Quotes)
My technique is the outcome of thinking for myself, of my own logic and approach; it is not borrowed from what others are doing. (Charlie Chaplin Quotes)
