More quotes by Robin Williams
There's no question this is where I want to live. Never has been.
Robin Williams
Most of all, I want to thank my father, up there, the man who when I said I wanted to be an actor, he said, 'Wonderful. Just have a back-up profession like welding.'
Robin Williams
With a bike you go from zero to a hundred in terms of mobility.
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
The Statue of Liberty is no longer saying, 'Give me your poor, your tired, your huddled masses.' She's got a baseball bat and yelling, 'You want a piece of me?'
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
Dreams don't deal in time. Time doesn't count.
Robin Williams
I thought I was fooling people. But it's the old thing of 'they say vodka doesn't smell'. No, not until you sweat. And you just lie and lie and you think 'I can deal with this'. And then you finally go, 'No you can't'. And then you give up.
Robin Williams
When I'm riding my bicycle I feel like a Buddhist who is happy just to enjoy his mundane existence
Robin Williams
Gentlemen, haven't we learned anything from the music of John Lennon? All we need is love.
Robin Williams
I thought lacrosse was what you find in la church.
Robin Williams
Even evangelicals realize that Pinocchio's father was a carpenter too. That's the old joke.
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
I always thought the idea of education was to learn to think for yourself.
Robin Williams
Make your life spectacular, I know I did.
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
It's great that we've got a compassionate conservative, but to me, that sounds like a Volvo with a gun rack.
Robin Williams
Lance Armstrong pushes the envelope in terms of the human experience. You can have a personal best, you can push your own envelope. For Lance, the person pushing him is him. The only person he's competing with, I think, is himself. To push that limit to the next step. There's a lot to learn from him. Lots.
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
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.
