In the creation of comedy, it is paradoxical that tragedy stimulates the spirit of ridicule; because ridicule, I suppose is an attitude of defiance.

Think about yourself at least once in your life. Otherwise you may miss the best comedy in this world.

All I need to make a comedy is a park, a policeman and a pretty girl.

Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot.

My tramp is made up of mimicry.

I could kill laughs more quickly by overdoing something than by any other method.
