"Tienes
que creer en ti mismo, ese es el secreto. Incluso cuando yo estaba en el
orfanatorio, cuando vagaba en la calle tratando de encontrar algo para comer,
aún entonces pensé en mí mismo como el mejor actor del mundo".
"You have to believe in yourself, that's the secret. Even when I
was in the orphanage, when I was roaming the street trying to find enough to
eat, even then I thought of myself as the greatest actor in the world."

Sir Charles
Spencer "Charlie" Chaplin, KBE (16 April 1889 – 25 December 1977)
was an English comic actor, film director and composer best known for his work
during the silent film era. He became the most famous film star in the world
before the end of World War I. Chaplin used mime, slapstick and other visual
comedy routines, and continued well into the era of the talkies, though his
films decreased in frequency from the end of the 1920s. His most famous role
was that of The Tramp, which he first
played in the Keystone comedy Kid Auto Races at Venice in 1914. From
the April 1914 one-reeler Twenty Minutes
of Love onwards he was writing and directing most of his films, by 1916 he
was also producing them, and from 1918 he was even composing the music for
them. With Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks and D. W. Griffith, he co-founded United Artists in 1919.
