Charlie Chaplin
I'd sooner be called a successful crook than a destitute monarch.
Charlie Chaplin
Whiskey! Never tasted such beastly stuff in my life! In a civilized country they drink wine.

Movies are a fad. Audiences really want to see live actors on a stage.
Charlie Chaplin
In this desperate way, I started many a comedy.
Charlie Chaplin
