I often wondered what was the source of a tension in Robin that always seemed just below the humor and the laughter, a tension that also was maybe behind the frenzy he had so often in his comedic presentations.

To me his great accomplishments in his art is the unforgettable persona/characters that he created. They always seemed to be different versions of the real Robin; just a little crazier than the rest of us.

Gooood Morning Vi-et naaaaaam! Hey, this is not a test, this is rock and roll. Time to rock it from the Delta to the DMZ. Is that me or does that sound like an Elvis Presley movie? Viva Da Nang, (sings) Oh Viva Da Nang, Dan Nang me, Da Nang me, went out to get a rope and hang me...

Clinging to such a cynical political philosophy that is liberalism certainly doesn’t help when you have depression.

He should have taken the hint from his pal Jonathan Winters.

Reminds me of these verses in the book of Proverbs...

Prov 14:12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. 13 Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful ; and the end of that mirth is heaviness. 14 The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man shall be satisfied from himself.

Robin Williams gained the whole world...but seems to have lost his soul... ;(

Guess we’ll have to outlaw comedy.
