How much more can you give? Other than, literally, open-heart surgery onstage? Not much. But the only cure you have right now is the honesty of going, this is who you are. I know who I am.

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.

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
A woman wouldn't make a bomb that kills you. A woman would make a bomb that makes you feel bad for a while. That's why there should be a woman President. There'd never be any wars, just every twenty-eight days there'd be very intense negotiations.

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.

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
Compassionate conservative. I don't know what that is, it sounds like a Volvo with a gun rack.
Robin Williams
You have an internal critic, an internal drive that says, 'OK, you can do more.' Maybe that's what keeps you going.
Robin Williams
To make fun of an administration, to make fun of anything, Mark Twain said, is the last defense of democracy.
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 like my wine like my women - ready to pass out.
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.
