More quotes by Robin Williams
I always wanted to play a big, black man, but that would cost too much make-up.
Robin Williams
Ah, yes, divorce... from the Latin word meaning to rip out a man's genitals through his wallet.
Robin Williams
We've had cloning in the South for years. It's called cousins.
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
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
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
You have this idea that you'd better keep working otherwise people will forget. And that was dangerous. And then you realize, no, actually if you take a break people might be more interested in you.
Robin Williams
Sometimes with a comedy it's just having the instinct of how real you play it and what level you want it.
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
I've always improvised, and stand-up was this great release. All of a sudden, it was just me and the audience.
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
My God, look at the size of this man! Quick! Tell the other villagers we're going back to the boats!
Robin Williams
My battles with addiction definitely shaped how I am now. They really made me deeply appreciate human contact. And the value of friends and family, how precious that is.
Robin Williams
The sort of liveliness which increases with age is not far distant from madness.
Robin Williams
I'm history! No, I'm mythology! Nah, I don't care what I am, I'm free!
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 I asked you about love, you'd probably quote me a sonnet. But you've never looked at a woman and been totally vulnerable. Known someone that could level you with her eyes, feeling like God put an angel on earth just for you. Who could rescue you from the depths of hell.
Robin Williams
Cross-country running was so beautiful with all the trails and the lake regions ... very physical and also a bit spiritual, where you could come over the mountain and all of a sudden you'd see a Buddhist landscape fog.
Robin Williams
Terrible wars have been fought where millions have died for one idea - freedom. And it seems that something that means so much to so many people would be worth having.
Robin Williams
When I'm riding my bicycle I feel like a Buddhist who is happy just to enjoy his mundane existence
