Tripping Quotes

(Charlie) Chaplin is waiting a long time at a trolley car stop. He`s the first in line of what turns out to be a huge crowd. The trolley finally arrives, he`s the first one on, but then the crowd behind him surges through the door and pushes him right through the door on the other side. And that`s a lot like what Hollywood is like. When you`re a young man, Douglas Fairbanks Sr. is driving. Wally Beery is the conductor, and Chaplin`s got a front row seat. You take your seat, and back behind you is Gary Cooper. He has got his long feet stuck out in front of one of the exit doors, and people keep tripping over him and onto the street. Suddenly a young man named Ty Power gets on. He asks you to move over. You make a picture with Joan Fontaine. You think you do a good job, but she wins the Oscar, and you get nothing. And pretty soon more and more people get on, it`s getting very crowded, and then you decide to get off. When you get off the trolley, you notice that it`s been doing nothing but going around in circles. It doesn`t go anywhere. You see the same things over and over. So you might as well get off.

I`m really klutzy. I`m always tripping over stuff. I`m always trying to not walk into the camera. I was shooting a scene in a TV show and I kept sneezing.

And then, here I am at 58, and I`m at (Elton John)`s party. All these megastars are there, Paul McCartney or whatever. And there`s me with them, standing with all these people I used to admire. It`s like I`ve been in the music industry for 30, 40 years, and it`s just been incredible really.`
