More quotes by Robin Williams
I stopped drinking when I had children because I wanted to be awake and aware. I did not want to be going, you know, daddy loves you and then drop my head on the table. I do not want to miss anything that they do or say. It is important to me.
Robin Williams
When in doubt, go for the dick joke.
Robin Williams
I love doing live action movies, but there's a great job in doing animation, especially one with music.

Robin Williams
In truth I never really liked any of the heavy drugs, because normally my energy is up when I'm performing, and that's about it. Cocaine is nothing new. It's the pressure, I think. People use it to relieve that, and for me it is about getting numb and forgetting. I have a reverse metabolic reaction to the stuff.

Robin Williams
Boys, you must strive to find your own voice, because the longer you wait to begin the less likely you are to find it at all.
Robin Williams
I can be trained, I can actually show you how intelligent I am, I can use a word like delicatessen and know what it means.
Robin Williams
After I quit drinking, I realized I am the same asshole I always was I just have fewer dents in my car.
Robin Williams
I couldn't imagine living the way I used to live. Now people come up to me from the drug days and go, 'Hi, remember me?' And I'm going, 'No, did I have sex with you? Did I take a dump in your tool box?'
Robin Williams
I learned that by being entertaining you make a connection with another person.
Robin Williams
The first time I ate organic whole-grain bread I swear it tasted like roofing material.
Robin Williams
My favorite thing to do is ride a bicycle. I ride road bikes. And for me, it's mobile meditation.
Robin Williams
Carpe per diem - seize the check.
Robin Williams
Things that I see in the future. I see... it could be quite incredible if we can master a few problems, like the air and the water thing might be nice. I see governments dissolving these barriers are all falling down for economic reasons. They're all so interbound.
Robin Williams
Anything that is not funny at a certain point will be funny.
Robin Williams
People would say I never censor. As Billy Crystal says, 'I don't have that button.'
