Geraldine Chaplin Quotes


Geraldine Chaplin

Daddy has never seen anything I`ve done, but he is the best critic I have. He has taught me how to tear down a character. `Slug your guts out` is his philosophy of acting. Never mind the talent, just work hard.

(on `Dr Zhivago`) "Although I went all over the world promoting it, I`d never got to see more than the credits before being whisked away. Finally, at Cannes, I was to sit through the whole thing through. When I appeared for the first time, I fainted from the shock - and woke up in the ladies room."

I thought it`d be easy to get into the movies as Charlie Chaplin`s daughter. And I suppose it was. Except I wasn`t much good as an actress - really terrible at the beginning.
