Tidbits
How did the math teacher encourage his students?
"Don't believe in yourself. Believe in e! Believe in the e that believes in you!"

Robin Williams
My favorite Robin Williams movies are his dramatic roles rather than his comedic:
Good Will Hunting
Dead Poets Society
What Dreams May Come
Being Human
However, my two favorites of him are Awakening and One Hour Photo. I always felt that when Williams portrayed characters who were withdrawn, shy, and soft spoken, he wasn't acting - he was showing us his true self, the part of him that the comedy was meant to distract from. There was always a touch of genuineness to those roles that is hard to simply imitate.
