"The World According To Garp" is such a phenomenal movie. Loved him also in "One Hour Photo". Never liked him that much as a comedian, but there was definitely no improve like him. RIP.

Poor guy probably suffered severe bi polar disorder. The manic portion perhaps enabled the spontainious comedy I had always suspected.

With that level of mania perhaps the depressive periods were also as severe. I imagine really severe periods of depression to be unbearable. Sad way to end a career of so many years.

Comedy is hard.

RIP

His golf routine is still one of the funniest, most accurate and most NSFW around. I am truely saddened by his exit. We never really know what demons another may be fighting.

He was also big on bicycle tours. He would make one of the big ones in Austin whenever he could and always took time out to be in photos with others who were riding.

He would even sneak into photos if he saw others taking them. One guy was showing me a photo of him and his wife and in the background there was a guy standing there and just looking into the camera. Yup, it was Robin Williams dressed in his riding gear with his sunglasses, helmet and gloves.

RIP --- yes, he's made me laugh a lot. Maybe, one of the networks will run his previous shows again.

Depression is a terrible illness and so often mis-understood. Just telling a depressed person to pull themselves up and get over it, doesn't work nor help.

Part of me is angry at him. He was not done yet. He had more to give and I feel cheated. I know he was depressed and as mentioned above I cannot even begin to understand that. I guess he did not see another way out.

But I am still angry. He was not done. I know it's selfish but it's how I feel. He had more people to make laugh. I miss you Mr Williams.

Unfortunately, we have to respect his view even if we don't agree with it. If he says he doesn't see a way out, who are we to say that there is a way out? He hung himself with a belt on the doorknob so I'm guessing he could have stopped it anytime he wanted. That he could override his desire to live must have indicated a strong will to terminate. Why? IDK but if he says so, I accept it.

I do not know much about depression but I doubt he was of sound mind and understood what he was doing. I think that is the thing about depression. I dont think the person has a full understanding of whats going on.

I can't help but think, I hope this isn't what he's been doing all along:

I think the problems he had in that area were a part of the delusions he had. I understand he had about $50 mil in the bank and was selling an estate in San Fran for about $30 mil, but this is down from the $150 mil he once had.

Money is relative to your position in life. I am much better off then most of the folks I know but none of them seem depressed over this. I am as poor as a church mouse when stacked up against the people I work for and yet I am OK with that.

I have been told that Robin was also depressed over 'needing' to take a TV job when he had seen himself as a film star. Other Actors don't really get this way, they want to perform even if it is just at a county fair since amusing people is fun for them.

You would be amazed at how insecure these people can be. Some of the let it get to them and some of them don't.

Just like everyone else.

That is known as 'The Nobel Lie' and it was first spoken of by Plato. Williams character would have said such a thing since it is a well known political device for convincing the masses of what you want them to do or think.
