Robin Williams

Robin Williams
I thought I was fooling people. But it's the old thing of 'they say vodka doesn't smell'. No, not until you sweat. And you just lie and lie and you think 'I can deal with this'. And then you finally go, 'No you can't'. And then you give up.
Robin Williams
When I'm riding my bicycle I feel like a Buddhist who is happy just to enjoy his mundane existence
Robin Williams
I had my back waxed once by two women... and at one point they said, Do you mind if we take a break?
Robin Williams
My preference is live performance, because you get the feedback. There's an energy. It's live theater. That's why I think actors like that.
Robin Williams
We had gay burglars the other night. They broke in and rearranged the furniture.
Robin Williams
I love to ride my bike, which is great aerobics, but also just a great time for me to think, so it's like this terrific double bill.
