[on Jerry Lewis] At some point he said to himself, "I`m extraordinary, like Charles Chaplin." From then on nobody could tell him anything. He knew it all.

[Charlie] Chaplin is waiting a long time at a trolley car stop. He`s the first in line of what turns out to be a huge crowd. The trolley finally arrives, he`s the first one on, but then the crowd behind him surges through the door and pushes him right thr...
Cary Grant
[On Charles Chaplin]: The greatest compliment I ever got was from Chaplin. He came up to me and said `I wish I could talk like you on the screen.` I said `I think you`re doing alright.` He had made $50 million by that point. He was the best comedian we ev...

Groucho Marx
I`d like to produce, direct, write, score, and star in a film in exactly the way [Charlie] Chaplin did. I`ll do that before I`m thirty. - in 1985
Eddie Murphy
[when asked why he abandoned his Lonesome Luke character and that type of character] Charlie [Charles Chaplin] had the market cornered on that. He had it down to a science.
Harold Lloyd
I thought it`d be easy to get into the movies as Charlie Chaplin`s daughter. And I suppose it was. Except I wasn`t much good as an actress - really terrible at the beginning.
Geraldine Chaplin
Chaplin has given great pleasure to millions of people, and I hope he returns to Hollywood. Personally, I don`t think he is a Communist, but whatever his political affiliations, they are secondary to the fact that he is a great entertainer. We should not ...
Cary Grant
[On the differences between his and Charles Chaplin`s characters] "Charlie`s tramp was a bum with a bum`s philosophy. Lovable as he was, he would steal if he got the chance. My little fellow was a working man and honest."
Buster Keaton
Charlie Chaplin used his ass better than any other actor. In all his films his ass is practically the protagonist. For a comic, the ass has incredible importance.
Roberto Benigni
I used to cry when I watched Chaplin`s films. It was from him that I learned about the role of the underdog. And because I`m also from a poor family, this kind of thing moved me and I found that it also worked for the audience because most of them are lik...

Richard Attenborough
Shakespeare wrote great plays that we`re still watching all these years later. Charlie Chaplin made great comedies and they are still as funny today as they ever were.
Leonard Maltin
It is the highest honour that the motion picture industry can pay to anybody. I joined people like Chaplin, so of course I`m deeply honoured.
Peter O`Toole
If you know anything about James Whitcomb Riley, you know that Little Orphan Annie is one of the most fantastic characters who ever lived in America before Charlie Chaplin.
Alyson Mike
I discovered the 7th art at home when I was kid, through Charlie Chaplin`s movies and those of my father who shot documentaries. He was my biggest influence. So I took his camera and started shooting.
Lasse Hallstrom
Every community has its stars, and in the community of Hillel in the former Soviet Union, Chaplin was definitely a star, ... Everybody knew him.
