More quotes by Robin Williams
My battles with addiction definitely shaped how I am now. They really made me deeply appreciate human contact. And the value of friends and family, how precious that is.
Robin Williams
Finding a good script is really difficult and the scariest thing of all is when they say about a script that's not right, we will fix it.. It's like before you get on the Titanic and you see a big hole. In process, it's too late.
Robin Williams
Politically, I don't care what party you're from, offer a point of view and let's see what happens and really debate the issues rather than use personal attacks. Really talk about it, talk about immigration, talk about education, talk about pollution.
Robin Williams
You know what music is? God's little reminder that there's something else besides us in this universe harmonic connection between all living beings, every where, even the stars.
Robin Williams
Women have so many levels. There's the physical level, which is a lot of fun. There's this emotional level, which is extremely mercurial.
Robin Williams
But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.
Robin Williams
As intellectual as we think we are, you still trip, we still have human foibles, sexuality, all the different things to still make you aware of your humanity.
Robin Williams
I've always improvised, and stand-up was this great release. All of a sudden, it was just me and the audience.
Robin Williams
A woman wouldn't make a bomb that kills you. A woman would make a bomb that makes you feel bad for a while. That's why there should be a woman President. There'd never be any wars, just every twenty-eight days there'd be very intense negotiations.
Robin Williams
Okra is the closest thing to nylon I've ever eaten. It's like they bred cotton with a green bean. Okra, tastes like snot. The more you cook it, the more it turns into string.
Robin Williams
If I asked you about love, you'd probably quote me a sonnet. But you've never looked at a woman and been totally vulnerable. Known someone that could level you with her eyes, feeling like God put an angel on earth just for you. Who could rescue you from the depths of hell.
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
The entire world will be in nuclear war, and only the Swiss will be going, 'what's that noise?'
Robin Williams
When you really do find a new idea or you're in and it's all working, that's the gift. It's like a musician when they hit a riff, that's when you're like all right, it's mellow. You back off and just ride it.
Robin Williams
There's no shame in failing. The only shame is not giving things your best shot.
Robin Williams
My father retired to San Francisco, and I got a chance to know him and be around him. It's always been someplace where everything changed for the better. It's always been a home for me.
Robin Williams
Women are wonderful. They're amazing creatures. You can never learn enough! They're addicting in the most amazing sense.
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. You know, musicians need it, comedians definitely need it. It doesn't matter what size and what club, whether it's 30 people in the club or 2,000 in a hall or a theater. It's live, it's symbiotic, you need it.
Robin Williams
Women! Can't live with 'em, can't live with 'em!
Robin Williams
You're best when you're not in charge. The ego locks the muse.
Robin Williams
