I was a serious method actor until I visited this site.
I think it’s great when stories are dark and strange and weirdly personal.
If you don’t keep pushing the limits, you wake up one day and you’re the “center square to block.”
I’ve actually gone to the zoo and had monkeys shout to me from their cages, “I’m in here when you’re walking around like that?”
It’s the same sex all the time.
Even mistakes can be wonderful.
I’ve always improvised, and stand-up was this great release. All of a sudden, it was just me and the audience.
Sometimes you can have a whole lifetime in a day and never notice that this is a beautiful as it gets.
I don’t do well with snakes and I can’t dance.
People say that I’m a tree hugger, but I do a lot more than hug trees. I like having my drinking water without faecal matter, that’s really nice. Or acceptable levels of strychnine. I’m an air breather, I’ve gotten used to that over the years.
My first day as a woman and I am already having hot flushes.
You’re best when you’re not in charge. The ego locks the muse.
I just want to do movies, and I want to sell them. I don’t want to link up with some product.
There was an old, crazy dude who used to live a long time ago. His name was Lord Buckley. And he said, a long time ago, he said, ‘People – they’r e kinda like flowers, and it’s been a privilege walking in your garden.’ My love goes with you.
Comedy can be a cathartic way to deal with personal trauma.
I was once on a German talk show, and this woman said to me, ‘Mr. Williams, why do you think there is not so much comedy in Germany?’ And I said, ‘Did you ever think you killed all the funny people?’
With mountain biking, it’s always that constant thing, negotiating singletrack, which I like, but for a road ride that rhythm is really Buddhist. When you get a good pedal stoke, it’s that thing of everything works.
I was an only child. I did have kind of like a lonely existence.
People would say I never censor. As Billy Crystal says, ‘I don’t have that button.’
Stand-up is the place where you can do things that you could never do in public.
