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.

More quotes by Robin Williams
My favorite is when you go to Afghanistan and you meet the special forces guys, and they look like these heavily armed surfers. These guys are the best. You see guys dressed as full Afghans, but then wearing a Yankees hat.

If we're going to fight a disease, let's fight one of the most terrible diseases of all, indifference.

With mountain biking, it's always that constant thing, negotiating singletrack, which I like, but for a road ride that rhythm is really Buddhist. When you get a good pedal stoke, it's that thing of everything works.
Robin Williams
They're talking about partial nuclear disarmament, which is also like talking about partial circumcision - you either go all the way or forget it.
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
I had my back waxed once by two women... and at one point they said, Do you mind if we take a break?
Robin Williams
It's great that we've got a compassionate conservative, but to me, that sounds like a Volvo with a gun rack.
Robin Williams
If we were interested in making money, we wouldn't have become teachers.
Robin Williams
I love to ride my bike, which is great aerobics, but also just a great time for me to think, so it's like this terrific double bill.
Robin Williams
The little idiosyncrasies that only I know about: that's what made her my wife. Oh she had the goods on me too, she knew all my little peccadilloes. People call these things imperfections, but they're not. Ah, that's the good stuff!
Robin Williams
I stopped drinking when I had children because I wanted to be awake and aware. I did not want to be going, you know, daddy loves you and then drop my head on the table. I do not want to miss anything that they do or say. It is important to me.
Robin Williams
A woman would never make a nuclear bomb. They would never make a weapon that kills, no, no. They'd make a weapon that makes you feel bad for a while.
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
To be acknowledged for who and what I am, no more, no less. Not for acclaim, not for approval, but, the simple truth of that recognition. This has been the elemental drive of my existence, and it must be achieved, if I am to live or die with dignity.
Robin Williams
Avoid using the word 'very' because it's lazy. A man is not very tired, he is exhausted. Don't use very sad, use morose. Language was invented for one reason boys - to woo women - and in that endeavor, laziness will not do.
Robin Williams
Even evangelicals realize that Pinocchio's father was a carpenter too. That's the old joke.
Robin Williams
All you have to do is think one happy thought, and you'll fly like me.
Robin Williams
People say that I'm a tree hugger, but I do a lot more than hug trees. I like having my drinking water without faecal matter, that's really nice. Or acceptable levels of strychnine. I'm an air breather, I've gotten used to that over the years.

Lance Armstrong pushes the envelope in terms of the human experience. You can have a personal best, you can push your own envelope. For Lance, the person pushing him is him. The only person he's competing with, I think, is himself. To push that limit to the next step. There's a lot to learn from him. Lots.
Robin Williams
In down times I do things like go for a long bike ride or run. The other thing I'm doing in that quiet time is just observing.
