ROBIN WILLIAMS

I'm sorry, if you were right, I'd agree with you.

No matter what people tell you, words and ideas can change the world.

Spring is nature's way of saying, 'Let's party!'

When Jonathan Winters died, it was like, 'Oh, man!' I knew he was frail, but I always thought he was going to last longer. I knew him as being really funny, but at the same time, he had a dark side.

I met Nelson Mandela, and I really didn't know what to say. It was years ago at a benefit. I was just in awe of this man because of what he'd done.

I 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.

You'll notice that Nancy Reagan never drinks water when Ronnie speaks.

Never pick a fight with an ugly person, they've got nothing to lose.

In America they really do mythologise people when they die.

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.

Being in the same room with people and creating something together is a good thing.

I do believe in love; it's wonderful - especially love third time around, it's even more precious; it's kind of amazing.

The 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.

We had gay burglars the other night. They broke in and rearranged the furniture.

The improv, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but when it does, it's like open-field running.

I have an idea for a movie called 'The Walken Dead' which is about a town where, instead of zombies, everyone becomes Chris Walken.

Comedy can be a cathartic way to deal with personal trauma.

Canada is like a loft apartment over a really great party.

When I went home from Juilliard, I couldn't find acting work.

Performing comedy in San Francisco to begin with is pretty wild. You've got to - you've got the human game preserve to play off of. And it's a lot of great characters everywhere. You work off that, and then you play the rooms, and eventually you get to a point where you're playing a club that is a comedy club, with other comics.

I think 'Dead Poets' was probably my favorite, just to get started with the idea of doing a movie that people treated as more than a movie.

A woman would never make a nuclear bomb. They would never make a weapon that kills - no, no. They'd make a weapon that makes you feel bad for a while.

Okra is the closest thing to nylon I've ever eaten. It's like they bred cotton with a green bean. Okra, tastes like snot. The more you cook it, the more it turns into string.

The bad thing about being a famous comedian is that every now and then someone approaches me to tell an old joke. Don't tell me jokes - I have that. People also say the weirdest things, sometimes sarcastic things, and even evil things. They like to provoke to get a reaction.

If it's the Psychic Network why do they need a phone number?
