QUOTABLE

“I learned about physical comedy and the nuts and bolts of timing (working with Steve Martin), because, obviously, when I do my act, I have as much timing as an Uzi! And his is the comedy of pause, of waiting, of holding back. I don’t know what he learned from me. Perhaps about how not to be that anxious or obsessive. I also got to know about his appreciation of art. I’ve seen some of the art he has bought and I thought, ‘Wow, while I was off putting half my profits up my nose, that’s what you were doing.’ ”

--Robin Williams, in Playboy.
