The ‘Aladdin’ thing – that’s not work; that’s just fun. Three days in the recording studio going mad, then the animators do all the work. Not a bad way to cash a large check, my friend. – Robin Williams
I’ve never been asked to appear on ‘I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!,’ so I guess I mustn’t be on the professional skids just yet. – Robin Williams
I started doing comedy because that was the only stage that I could find. It was the pure idea of being on stage. That was the only thing that interested me, along with learning the craft and working, and just being in productions with people. – Robin Williams
If women ran the world we wouldn’t have wars, just intense negotiations every 28 days. – Robin Williams
My mother’s idea of natural childbirth was giving birth without makeup. She was hyper-positive – the world is a wonderful place, rainbows and unicorns. If you said anything contrary to her, you were basically exiled. – Robin Williams

You can start any ‘Monty Python’ routine and people finish it for you. Everyone knows it like shorthand. – Robin Williams

I loved school, maybe too much, really. I was summa cum laude in high school. I was driven that way. – Robin Williams
