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!

More quotes by Robin Williams
It doesn't matter who you are, if you've got the legs, you can hang with them.
Robin Williams
I got to ninth grade and there was wrestling, and I went, 'Wait a minute, this is fun.' Basically, it was a chance for a small kid like me to get a chance to wail on another small kid. I went, 'I love this.' The discipline of it was great. Plus, I really started to be good at it.
Robin Williams
Montovani? They play Montovani to insomniacs that don't respond to strong drugs
Robin Williams
Even evangelicals realize that Pinocchio's father was a carpenter too. That's the old joke.
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
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
In America, they really do mythologize people when they die.
Robin Williams
There's a world out there. Open a window, and it's there.
Robin Williams
Please, don't worry so much. Because in the end, none of us have very long on this Earth. Life is fleeting.
Robin Williams
Stand-up is the place where you can do things that you could never do in public.
Robin Williams
My childhood was really nice. My parents never forced me to do anything it was always, If you want to do that, fine. When I told my father I was going to be an actor, he said, Fine, but study welding just in case.
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
If I ever asked you about love, you'd probably quote me a sonnet. But you've never looked a woman and been totally vulnerable.
Robin Williams
Divorce is expensive. I used to joke they were going to call it 'all the money,' but they changed it to 'alimony.' It's ripping your heart out through your wallet.
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
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.

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.

We used to be hunter-gatherers, now we're shopper-borrowers.
Robin Williams
Directing requires great discipline, that ability to be in and out at the same time. The great ones I've worked with are like generals. It's a bit like a small war on that level. The great ones have that combination of freedom and control. I'm nowhere near that. There's still so much to do as an actor. I have enough to explore with that.
Robin Williams
We don’t read and write poetry because it’s cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race.
