More quotes by Robin Williams
There's a time for daring and there's a time for caution, and a wise man understands which is called for.
Robin Williams
We had gay burglars the other night. They broke in and rearranged the furniture.
Robin Williams
Here's the best birth control in the whole world, if you really, if you have no pills, if you have no diaphragm, if you have no other form of contraception. Use it for ladies, if he comes at you with that little thing in his hand, just laugh at it. They can't deal with it, OK, it'll be gone.
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 wonder what chairs think about all day: Oh, here comes another asshole.
Robin Williams
My favorite thing to do is ride a bicycle. I ride road bikes. And for me, it's mobile meditation.
Robin Williams
If you want to die, don't make a mistake and not quite kill yourself because the medical bills in America are hideous.
Robin Williams
If you're going to do a movie about the Village, it's pretty nice to shoot in the village and not be in Toronto.
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
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
Compassionate conservative, that's like having a gun rack on a Volvo.
Robin Williams
If women ran the world there would be no wars. However every 28 days there would be some very intense negotiations.
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 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
Most of all, I want to thank my father, up there, the man who when I said I wanted to be an actor, he said, 'Wonderful. Just have a back-up profession like welding.'
Robin Williams
Ballet: men wearing pants so tight that you can tell what religion they are.
Robin Williams
To make fun of an administration, to make fun of anything, Mark Twain said, is the last defense of democracy.
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
You're going to the cemetery with your toothbrush. How Egyptian
Robin Williams
His golf bag does not contain a full set of irons.
