I'm sorry, but I don't want to be an emperor. That's not my business. I don't want to rule or conquer anyone.

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.

A tramp, a gentleman, a poet, a dreamer, a lonely fellow, always hopeful of romance and adventure.

My character of the Tramp, the millions of workers symbolized in that one figure.

I will not join any club who will take me as a member.

Dictators free themselves, but they enslave the people!

This is a ruthless world and one must be ruthless to cope with it.
