What is this demilitarized zone? Whatever it is, I like it! Gets you on your toes better than a strong cup of cappuccino.
Robin Williams
Be prepared for luck.
Robin Williams
But only in their dreams can men be truly free. It was always thus and always thus will be.
Robin Williams
Self-reliance is the key to a vigorous life. A man must look inward to find his own answers.
Robin Williams
For me, comedy starts as a spew, a kind of explosion, and then you sculpt it from there, if at all. It comes out of a deeper, darker side. Maybe it comes from anger, because I'm outraged by cruel absurdities, the hypocrisy that exists everywhere, even within yourself, where it's hardest to see.
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.

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 first time I ate organic whole-grain bread I swear it tasted like roofing material.
Robin Williams
We were talking briefly about cocaine... yeah. Anything that makes you paranoid and impotent, give me more of that!
Robin Williams
There's no question this is where I want to live. Never has been.
Robin Williams
You're best when you're not in charge. The ego locks the muse.
Robin Williams
In America, they really do mythologize people when they die.
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
I've never had a hankering to direct. I can perform, but I can't write on that level. I tend to go off on tangents. Directing also requires a kind of specificity and I don't have it.
Robin Williams
Make your life spectacular, I know I did.
Robin Williams
You're only given a little spark of madness. You mustn't lose it.
Robin Williams
My religious background is that my mother is a Christian Dior Scientist.
