“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.
