Robin Williams: Come Inside My Mind Page #3

going on at this school.

I did an impression

of a teacher who was

pretty out there.

His name was

Mr. Lavezzo.

-(on radio):
Tino Lavezzo

and his lovely dystopic...

-(crowd cheering)

Enacting history,

actually having

the Battle of Hastings.

It's everywhere, behind

the chairs, chanting

"We knew we were there!"

Robin:

That was the first time

I really had a performance.

(on radio):

You're my friend,

come on over here.

Robin:

I never really

started to even

be funny openly

on that level.

We as human beings,

we are driven by the same

sexual desire.

Men, you know you have

a tiny creature living

between your legs

that has no memory

and no conscience.

You know that.

-(laughter)

-You have no control!

It should be

a separate creature.

You should be able

to take it off,

poom, put him

on the ground.

Take him for a walk.

He's got the rollers.

He'll be like...

(babbles)

Make it

a different beast!

Wouldn't it be nice

if you could go into a bar,

buy him a drink

once in awhile?

There'd be a big bar up here,

a little bar down here for him.

Go into the bar,

yeah, put him out.

He's looking up at you

with that one good eye,

like, "How ya been, baby?

"Sorry about last night.

I guess I got nervous,

"fired off a couple

of warning shots.

"What the hell?

"If you didn't try

and strangle me,

"I'd have had

a better chance!

"What the hell? I can't

go back in there, man!

"That's some scary stuff!

"I'm not going back

without a wetsuit

"and a mining helmet.

I'll tell you that.

"You better work on that!

I'm not going back!

"Hell no, I won't go! I--

"Hey, forget what I said.

Who's that?

I'm going down here.

You talk to her. Down scope."

(whirring)

My first year at college,

I went to Claremont

Men's College

to study Political Science.

It's an all men's school,

and the only girls

are at this other school

called Pitzer,

and the only classes where you

can be with girls are there.

They had an improvisational

theater class,

and I went, "That's

where the ladies are."

Was not going

to any of my Political

Science classes.

My father said,

"I'm not paying

for this sh*t anymore."

Come back home to Marin,

and we'll go to the local

junior college."

That was the beginning

of studying acting

and taking that path.

Mark Rasmussen:

Robin Goodfellow,

a fellow of infinite jest.

He had to be

told to shut up

once in awhile

because we never

could get through

rehearsals.

We had been invited to do

Taming of the Shrew,

a western version of it,

at the Edinburgh Festival.

He went to Edinburgh with us

as a late replacement.

It was fantastic,

and we had a great time.

And I really got

to know him in Edinburgh.
