Author of quotes: Robin Williams

You will have bad times, but they will always open your eyes to things you weren't paying attention.

If there is a heaven, it would be nice to know that there you can laugh.

Public performance is frightening and devastating. It's like a battle. You kill, when the performance is successful. And if not, then killed himself.

Spring is when nature wants to tell us: "Let's have fun!"

Always wanted to play a large black man. But this would take a lot of makeup.

I stopped drinking when I had children because I wanted to always be alert. I wouldn't want to miss any of the things that children say or do. It is very important to me. When you have children, you behave like on drugs. You are always focused. You covered from head to foot their little childish piece of shit, but it's cool. That's why I stopped drinking.

In Iraq, I am often approached by people, and said, "Can I have your autograph?" And I said, "Well, Yes, sort of. You only lower the first machine". One girl approached me for an autograph, and its barrel looked me right in the mouth. Then came back the guys from the patrol. Each had a hefty pump-action rifle, and they were all removed from the fuse. I said, "Hey, pilgrim, can you put your shotguns in the fuses? They're looking right at my balls. I don't want to look like a Ken doll!"

A couple of years ago I was in Iraq [Williams made several visits to Afghanistan and Iraq, speaking with his show in front of coalition troops]. All around were in helmets and full regalia. All, except a small group of Australians, who sat half-naked on the truck and smoked. When I noticed that they smoke in the truck, I downright froze. And they said, "This is water, dude. Come on, Robin, get on with it!"

The word "politics" comes from the Latin "poly" which means "many" and "TIC" means "blood-sucking bastards."

We, Americans, ordinary guys. But just try to photocrati us and we will rabbanim your city.

Politicians should wear jackets with the indication of the sponsors, as do the Nascar drivers, then we'll know their owners.

Parents Santa Claus, too, wanted their son to become a real man.

Never fight with an ugly people. They have nothing to lose.

No matter what people say. You, your thoughts and ideas can change the world.
No matter what people tell you, words and ideas can change the world.
