My fav Robin Williams’ quotes from “Bicentennial Man”, where Robin and I shared the set in San Francisco in 1999 (I was the Court Guard). Loved his jokes and humor. RIP Robin. Prayers to you and your loved ones. “I try to make sense of things. Which is why, I guess, I believe in destiny. There must be a reason that I am as I am. There must be. I am growing old, my body is deteriorating, and like all of you, will eventually cease to function. As a robot, I could have lived forever. But I tell you all today, I would rather die a man, than live for all eternity a machine. To be acknowledged for who and what I am, no more, no less. Not for acclaim, not for approval, but, the simple truth of that recognition. This has been the elemental drive of my existence, and it must be achieved, if I am to live or die with dignity. You can lose yourself. Everything. All boundaries. All time. That two bodies can become so mixed up, that you dont know whos who or whats what. And just when the sweet confusion is so intense you think youre gonna die... you kind of do. Leaving you alone in your separate body, but the one you love is still there. Thats a miracle. You can go to heaven and come back alive. You can go back anytime you want with the one you love. Terrible wars have been fought where millions have died for one idea, freedom. And it seems that something that means so much to so many people would be worth having.”
