"As an alcoholic, you will violate your..." - Quote by Robin Williams

“There are times when life's just real quiet and simple. I sometimes get tired of people saying, "Well, what are you really like?"”

“It doesn't matter who you are, if you've got the legs, you can hang with them.”

“We don’t read and write poetry because it’s cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race.”

“Eventually, alas, I realized the main purpose of buying cocaine is to run out of it.”

“The secretiveness. The stealth. Those were obviously the aspects of cocaine use I was addicted to.”

“Grass probably helped me as much as it hurt me. Especially as a performer.”

“Well, upon my soul! You are not ashamed to stand there and confess yourself a disgusting drunkard.”

“I thought I was fooling people. But it's the old thing of 'they say vodka doesn't smell'. No, not until you sweat. And you just lie and lie and you think 'I can deal with this'. And then you finally go, 'No you can't'. And then you give up.”

“"It's just literally being afraid. And you think, oh, [the alcohol] will ease the fear. And it doesn't." What was he afraid of? "Everything. It's just a general all-round arggghhh. It's fearfulness and anxiety." He added, "For that first week you lie to yourself, and tell yourself you can stop, and then your body kicks back and says, no, stop later. And then it took about three years, and finally you do stop."”
