More quotes by 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
No man is an island but some are peninsulas.
Robin Williams
Being a famous print journalist is like being the best-dressed woman on radio.
Robin Williams
I'm sorry, if you were right, I'd agree with you.
Robin Williams
In truth I never really liked any of the heavy drugs, because normally my energy is up when I'm performing, and that's about it. Cocaine is nothing new. It's the pressure, I think. People use it to relieve that, and for me it is about getting numb and forgetting. I have a reverse metabolic reaction to the stuff.
Robin Williams
Mickey Mouse to a three-year-old is a six-foot-tall RAT!
Robin Williams
Compassionate conservative, that's like having a gun rack on a Volvo.
Robin Williams
Come on now! You kick out the gooks, the next thing you know, you have to kick out the chinks, the spicks, the spooks, the kikes and all that's going to be left is a couple of brain-dead rednecks.
Robin Williams
What's my credibility? Why are they looking to me for advice? Isn't there someone more qualified?
Robin Williams
With mountain biking, it's always that constant thing, negotiating singletrack, which I like, but for a road ride that rhythm is really Buddhist. When you get a good pedal stoke, it's that thing of everything works.
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
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
It's that idea that you can have one drink - and no you can't. Within a week I was drinking heavily. It was so quick that even I was like, 'Wow.'
Robin Williams
Explore an idea until you've exhausted it, really go to all the different parameters of it.
Robin Williams
All you have to do is think one happy thought, and you'll fly like me.
Robin Williams
For a while you get mad, then you get over it.
Robin Williams
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
I don't do well with snakes and I can't dance.
Robin Williams
Nobody takes a picture of something they want to forget.
Robin Williams
If we were interested in making money, we wouldn't have become teachers.
