More quotes by Robin Williams
Boys, you must strive to find your own voice, because the longer you wait to begin the less likely you are to find it at all.
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
Women have so many levels. There's the physical level, which is a lot of fun. There's this emotional level, which is extremely mercurial.
Robin Williams
You know what music is? God's little reminder that there's something else besides us in this universe harmonic connection between all living beings, every where, even the stars.
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
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
I couldn't imagine living the way I used to live. Now people come up to me from the drug days and go, 'Hi, remember me?' And I'm going, 'No, did I have sex with you? Did I take a dump in your tool box?'
Robin Williams
You're still young. Being a true loser takes years of inaptitude
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
My father retired to San Francisco, and I got a chance to know him and be around him. It's always been someplace where everything changed for the better. It's always been a home for me.
Robin Williams
Don't mess with me, man, I'm a lawyer!
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
I prefer to be handcuffed at home. The idea of voice work to me is great fun, especially when it's a chance to do two different voices.
Robin Williams
I've never had a hankering to direct. I can perform, but I can't write on that level. I tend to go off on tangents. Directing also requires a kind of specificity and I don't have it.
Robin Williams
I used to think the worst thing in life was to end up all alone. It's not. The worst thing in life is to end up with people who make you feel all alone.
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.

Ballet: men wearing pants so tight that you can tell what religion they are.
Robin Williams
You will have bad times, but they will always wake you up to the stuff you weren't paying attention to.
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
People would say I never censor. As Billy Crystal says, 'I don't have that button.'
