  8. Charlie Chaplin (about the Tramp) I had no idea what makeup to put on. I did not like my get-up as the press reporter [in Making a Living]. However on the wayto the wardrobe I thought I would dress in baggy pants, big shoes, a cane and a derby hat. I wanted everything to be a contradiction:the pants baggy, the coat tight, the hat small and the shoes large. I was undecided whether to look old or young, but remembering Sennetthad expected me to be a much older man, I added a small moustache, which I reasoned, would add age without hiding my expression. I had no idea of the character. But the moment I was dressed, the clothes and the makeup made me feel the person he was. I began to know him, and by the time I walked on stage he was fully born.
