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. You know, musicians need it, comedians definitely need it.

Robin Williams
How much more can you give? Other than, literally, open-heart surgery onstage? Not much. But the only cure you have right now is the honesty of going, this is who you are. I know who I am.
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
When you look at Prince Charles, don't you think that someone in the Royal family knew someone in the Royal family?
