Someone else, would have laid around, feeling sorry for himself, for a year. But Duke, he just doesn’t know, how to be sick … he’s recuperating the hard way. He’s two loud speaking guys in one.

Died Today (December 25th): Charlie Chaplin (1889–1977)
I usually go to see myself the first night of a new performance, but I don’t laugh. No, I just go to see whether or not the film is taking, and what I’ve done that I shouldn’t do. And if it’s a success, I’m happy. There’s something that makes you feel pretty good in knowing that all over the world people are laughing at what you’re doing. But if it isn’t a success, then it’s terrible, to feel that you’re a failure all over the world at the same time.
