01UndatedI do believe in love; it's wonderful - especially love third time around, it's even more precious; it's kind of amazing.Robin Williams / quote ↗
02UndatedSometimes over things that I did, movies that didn't turn out very well - you go, 'Why did you do that?' But in the end, I can't regret them because I met amazing people. There was always something that was worth it.Robin Williams / quote ↗
03UndatedThe essential truth is that sometimes you're worried that they'll find out it's a fluke, that you don't really have it. You've lost the muse or - the worst dread - you never had it at all. I went through all that madness early on.Robin Williams / quote ↗

08UndatedI basically started performing for my mother, going, 'Love me!' What drives you to perform is the need for that primal connection.

15UndatedFor 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 / quote ↗
16UndatedI write on big yellow legal pads - ideas in outline form when I'm doing stand-up and stuff. It's vivid that way. I can't type it into an iPad - I think that would put a filter into the process.Robin Williams / quote ↗
