More quotes by Robin Williams
In down times I do things like go for a long bike ride or run. The other thing I'm doing in that quiet time is just observing.
Robin Williams
For me, comedy starts as a spew, a kind of explosion, and then you sculpt it from there, if at all. It comes out of a deeper, darker side. Maybe it comes from anger, because I'm outraged by cruel absurdities, the hypocrisy that exists everywhere, even within yourself, where it's hardest to see.
Robin Williams
Self-reliance is the key to a vigorous life. A man must look inward to find his own answers.
Robin Williams
I used food to make myself feel better, but I felt worse when I ate.

Finding a good script is really difficult and the scariest thing of all is when they say about a script that's not right, we will fix it.. It's like before you get on the Titanic and you see a big hole. In process, it's too late.
Robin Williams
Even evangelicals realize that Pinocchio's father was a carpenter too. That's the old joke.

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

You might say he was one taco short of a combination platter.
Robin Williams
Everyone has these two visions when they hold their child for the first time. The first is your child as an adult saying I want to thank the Nobel Committee for this award. The other is You want fries with that?.
Robin Williams
Go pump some neurons. Expand your craniums
Robin Williams
She is not perfect. You are not perfect. The question is whether or not you are perfect for each other
Robin Williams
When your spinal cord freezes up, you're vulnerable to everything. But he [Chrestopher Reese] was tough as nails. And he kept a great, kind of dark sense of humor about it, but also was able to accomplish amazing things.
Robin Williams
Now you can't even carry a nail clipper on a plane. Are they afraid you're going to go...All right! Give me the plane or the b*tch loses her cuticle. ?
Robin Williams
I can be trained, I can actually show you how intelligent I am, I can use a word like delicatessen and know what it means.
Robin Williams
Avoid using the word 'very' because it's lazy. A man is not very tired, he is exhausted. Don't use very sad, use morose. Language was invented for one reason boys - to woo women - and in that endeavor, laziness will not do.
Robin Williams
You'd think all of these atypical somethings would add up to a typical something
Robin Williams
I had my back waxed once by two women... and at one point they said, Do you mind if we take a break?
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.
