Quote by Tippi Hedren

Working with Chaplin was very amusing and strange. His films are so funny, but working with him, I found him to be a very serious man. Whereas the films of Hitchcock are macabre, he could be a very funny man to work with, always telling jokes and holding court. Of course, when I worked with Charlie he was getting older.

Working with Chaplin was very amusing and strange. His films

Summary

This quote expresses the contrast between the public personas of Charlie Chaplin and Alfred Hitchcock and their actual personalities off-screen. Despite Chaplin's reputation for making comedic movies, the speaker found him to be serious and perhaps more reserved. In contrast, Hitchcock, known for his darker and suspenseful films, had a lighter and humorous side that made working with him enjoyable. The mention of Chaplin getting older suggests that this interaction took place towards the end of his career.

You need an infinite stretch of time ahead of you to start to think, infinite energy to make the smallest decision. The world is getting denser. The immense number of useless projects is bewildering. Too many things have to be put in to balance up an uncertain scale. You can't disappear anymore. You die in a state of total indecision.

Watching the evening news in 2011 is a strange time-travel experience. 'The CBS Evening News,' 'ABC World News' and 'NBC Nightly News' haven't changed their style over the decades, still going for that old-fashioned mix of voice-of-authority pomp and feel-good fluff. The difference is that people aren't watching.
