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
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.
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 were talking briefly about cocaine... yeah. Anything that makes you paranoid and impotent, give me more of that!
