I am at peace with God. My conflict is with Man.

A tramp, a gentleman, a poet, a dreamer, a lonely fellow, always hopeful of romance and adventure.

I don't believe that the public knows what it wants; this is the conclusion that I have drawn from my career.

I remain just one thing, and one thing only, and that is a clown. It places me on a far higher plane than any politician.
