The first time I ate organic whole-grain bread I swear it tasted like roofing material.

Sometimes with a comedy it's just having the instinct of how real you play it and what level you want it.
Robin Williams

Robin Williams
It's that idea that you can have one drink - and no you can't. Within a week I was drinking heavily. It was so quick that even I was like, 'Wow.'
Robin Williams
Terrible wars have been fought where millions have died for one idea - freedom. And it seems that something that means so much to so many people would be worth having.
