While I'm here on this planet, I really want to create art and do creative things.

I'm no romantic, surfing, California boy. I like reading, writing, philosophizing. Scheming. I've been doing some exploration of the inner space.

I don't want to be in a movie with 20 minutes of dialogue and then stand around while the robots start explosions.

I resisted being an actor for some time.

I see myself as a creative being. My only fear is compromising my integrity. I guess that's a constant struggle.

You can very easily be turned into a commodity. I've grown up with it.

A country cannot change, be transformed or developed as long as there is no truth and honesty as an everyday principle among the citizens of the nation.

Some plague the people with too long sermons for the faculty of listening is a tender thing and soon becomes weary and satiated.

I'm always more comfortable and in a good place when I'm with friends because I know they trust me. I'm able to get great performances from people who trust me.

My books, at any rate, deserved to be burned.

I'm a terrible dancer! Oh, I'm an awful dancer!

My character of the Tramp, the millions of workers symbolized in that one figure.

I want my pictures to be things. I want them to be made up of marks that are physically and individually self-sufficient.

As rewarding as a good film role can be, there is just nothing like getting up on a stage and taking an audience for a ride.

They're really competitive at drama in Texas.

Great, wide, beautiful, wonderful world
