Robin Williams: Come Inside My Mind Page #13

---

"because I'm--

I'm losing weight

and I don't know why,

and I'm having tests run."

Idle:

He was here

doing his sitcom,

I watched him once,

and I thought,

"Oh, he's so uncomfortable."

And I invited him

to dinner--

you see, I heard

he was so down--

and then we just made him

laugh and laugh and laugh,

and he just--

"Oh, thank you.

I really needed a laugh."

Romanek:

He came to visit us

and just hung out

at the house all day.

He was shooting

that sitcom

he was doing.

Sort of a sparkle

had gone out of his eye.

And I, you know,

when I said

goodbye,

he said, "Thanks,

I had a really

nice time,"

which I think he

did, there was kids

running around,

new people to meet,

and he talked to

everybody.

But I said,

"Are you all right, Robin?"

And he said,

"Yeah, I'm fine, boss."

And I-- I knew

it wasn't true.

And I-- I don't think

I even said, "Really?"

I just let-- you know,

he didn't want to go there,

and so I gave him a hug.

He didn't really

like to talk about

his issues, you know.

Crystal:

We met at a movie theater.

I was

a little concerned

because I felt

he was very quiet.

When we left each other,

he started to cry.

And I said,

"What's the matter?"

And he said, "Oh,

I'm just so happy

seeing you."

And then he told me

that he had been diagnosed

with Parkinson's.

And when he told me,

I never heard--

I never heard

Robin be afraid...

except for that moment.

Couple of months later,

we were going on vacation,

Janice and I, to Europe.

And... I called him to say

I was gonna

be away, and--

but I'm reachable on--

I said my phone,

I have my computer,

so whatever.

And he says, "Okay. And...

you know I love you."

And I said, "I love

you too, pal."

And... that was the last time

I spoke to him.

(waves crashing)

Newsman:

We have just received word

that the Academy

Award-winning actor

and comedian

Robin Williams has died.

The sheriff's office says

that suicide is suspected.

"God, no.

No, no, no, no.

Can't be.

Can't possibly be."

And so, I just, like--

I lost it at that point.

I really did, so.

Oh.

Can't talk about it.

(crying)

Joe Rogan:

A lot of people were

trying to attribute

all sorts of reasons

for why he did it.

Goldthwait:

Yeah. You know,

Robin was my best pal

and-- and his

coroner's report came out,

and he had

Lewy body dementia.

-Oh.

-Goldthwait:

And I-I witnessed this.

I witnessed

his processing reality

completely different

than the way

everybody else does.

And so when

I think about that,

I think about

how strong he was.

You know he would

have like some days

where he was doing

kind of OCD stuff

and-and-and--

and processing

things incorrectly,

but then you'd have

a day when he was back,

so you go,

"Oh. Well, maybe it's"--

Rogan:

He just had a bad day, or--

No, maybe it's

the Parkinson's drugs,

and they've gotta

get those dialed in.

He was going to doctors.

He was in therapy.

He was doing--

and it just--

the only reason

I talk about that is--

is his brain was

giving him misinformation.

He really was

getting misinformation

from his own brain

and was suffering

from this disease.

(gulls cawing)

In the weeks following

my father's passing,

it was really hard

to kind of... feel anything.

Everything felt very...

raw, and it was hard

to kinda put

everything together.

Bobcat came and visited.

We felt like it would be

a good idea to...

jump in the ocean.

And it turned out to be

a really nice thing to do.

It was good to...

jump in, and--

and actually...

kinda know that...

my father's presence

and spirit was around.

Robin as John Keating:

I would like you to step

forward over here.

Peruse some

of the faces

from the past.

You've walked

past them many times,

but I don't think you've

really looked at them.

They're not that different

from you, are they?

Same haircuts,

full of hormones,

just like you.

Invincible,

just like you feel.

The world

is their oyster.

They believe

they're destined

for great things,

just like

many of you.

Their eyes are

full of hope,

just like you.

Did they wait

until it was too late

to make from their lives

into even one iota

of what they were capable?

Because, you see,

gentleman,

these boys are now

fertilizing daffodils.

But, if you listen

real close...

you can hear them whisper

their legacy to you.

Go on, lean in.

Listen.

You hear it?

(whispers)

Carpe...

Carpe diem.

Seize the day, boys.

Make your lives

extraordinary.

Robin:

You've got to be crazy.

It's too late

to be sane. Too late.

You've got to go

full-tilt bozo.

(laughter)

'Cause you're only given

a little spark of madness,

and if you lose that...

you're nothing.

Note, from me to you...

Don't ever lose that,

'cause it keeps you alive.

Good night,

Robin

Thanks for

all the laughs

Thanks for all

The fun you brought

And all those

Silly photographs

Good night, Robin

Forever in your debt

The way you made us

Laugh and laugh

We never will forget

And though we'll never know

Just why you felt you

had to go

We'll always miss you

And though we wonder why

You made us cry,

we say goodbye

And wish that

we could kiss you

Good night, Robin

Thanks for all the fun

Thanks for all the laughs

you brought

And all the funny

Things you've done

Good night, Robin

It's hateful

That you've gone

But we're grateful

For that fateful day

You came along

Good night, old pal
