Chaplin made me laugh and cry without saying a word. I had an instinct. I was touched by the soul of Chaplin - Mime is not an imitator but a creator.

Mime makes the invisible, visible and the visible, invisible.

Never get a mime talking. He won't stop.

Life is a cycle, and mime is particularly suitable for showing fluidity, transformation, metamorphosis. Words can keep people apart; mime can be a bridge between them.

To communicate through silence is a link between the thoughts of man.

Mime, like music, knows neither borders nor nationalities.

Music and silence combine strongly because music is done with silence, and silence is full of music.

In a moment of grace, we can grasp eternity in the palm of our hand. This is the gift given to creative individuals who can identify with the mysteries of life through art.

Do not the most moving moments of our lives find us without words?

It's good to shut up sometimes.

A mime is a terrible thing to waste.

Moderation is an ostentatious proof of our strength of character.

Let the past drift away with the water.

I've obviously made a very nice amount of money. I have a very nice lifestyle. I get to do what I love. Very few actors get to do that, and even fewer are lucky enough to work steadily for 24 years.

Since death will take us anyway, why live our life in fear? Why not die in our old ways and be free to live?

I bargained with Life for a penny, And Life would pay no more, However I begged at evening When I counted my scanty store.

The man of Love follows the path of God-and shows affection to both the believer and the nonbe-liever.

You hear this story that we're all on the left, but when there's a demonstration, you count how many actors actually come out. If there's a half dozen, that would be a big day.

Are you spontaneously enthusiastic about everyone having everything you can have?

It seemed to me that a lot of people started going to art school recently because they thought they could be famous and make a lot of money. They might be in for a bad turn.
