My initial introduction to him was - this is a funny story... My Aunt Marian, my entire life growing up, told me that I looked like Charlie Chaplin. That didn't really resonate with me when I was younger - I hadn't seen a lot of his films.

I watched every single Charlie Chaplin film.

There were little Charlie Chaplins that you would wind up, and they would walk. I remember vividly. I was sitting in the high chair with the little tray in front of me. My parents would wind it up, and it would walk to me.

I don't deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence with Charles Chaplin.

I'm not 40 yet. I wouldn't even bother comparing myself to Chaplin.

I think I'm going to pull a Charlie Chaplin and have kids when I'm 60.

I was always a big fan of Charlie Chaplin movies. I love 'The Great Dictator' and 'City Lights.'

Working with Chaplin was very amusing and strange. His films are so funny, but working with him, I found him to be a very serious man. Whereas the films of Hitchcock are macabre, he could be a very funny man to work with, always telling jokes and holding court. Of course, when I worked with Charlie he was getting older.

Chaplin was my idol. I remember watching those movies at this little theater in Woodstock, N.Y., when I was probably 6 and laughing so hard at the surprises, like Keaton suddenly being dragged by a streetcar.
