Robin Williams - Raw Interview 

i've never seen an interview of him that was this realistic. I figure this is what ue was really like, a friendly, quiet guy that was able to make anyone laugh. He was my idol as I grew up. You will be missed Robin, RIP

The eyes give it away. My mom passed away this June from complications related to cortico basal ganglia degenerative dementia--the rarest form--which manifests much like Lewey body, and her eyes too had a heavy-laden look about them. LB is a devastating type of dementia and how Robin must have suffered as he grew terrified of far worse problems that lay before him. God bless this much-loved man; an American treasure who is missed every day. He is a roaming heavenly spirit now.

Even though it's been almost 7 years, knowing this man is gone honestly still hurts. Being a 90's kid, (born in 1984), he was in so many of my favorite childhood movies. He was a sailor, an eccentric but lovable bat with a radar on the side of head, a genie, a nanny, a boy turned man who can fly. RIP Robin Williams. You are still so sorely missed. #GenieIsFree 🧞‍♂️🧞‍♂️💙💙

What a great loss to the human race. Still missed by many. Rest in peace Robin 🙏

I have never cried over an actor and I did not know him personally but I am crying and so morose over the loss of Robin Williams

Probably the only (extensive) interview I've seen of Robin just being himself.

He's the only Actor - Comedian that his passing hit me like a hurricane and sadden me for real. Was & still speechless. Great human, huge sensitivity, very cultivated person and The *BEST of his class*. Will always be remembered. Your legacy will live on forever and will always be our *Patch Adams*. We'll meet on the other side but not yet....Daaaaamn how he made me and still make me laugh like crazy & will continue forever *Vade In Pace* Robin Williams.

He appears to be relaxed and it's nice to see him not So manic and "on" and more real and himself. He still shows his immense talent of being able to go in and out of characters and voices so effortlessly. Cool interview. Thanks for sharing.

What an amazing man on all counts. I'm been a life long fan. His presence on this planet has been so resonantly palpable that his spirit will always be with us and a part of us. In 1951 God gave us a rare gift.

Farewell, Oh Captain, my Captain.

This is the first time that I have watched this interview with Robin Williams and I am so lucky to now know the intellectual side of the person that I only knew as a comedian and actor. my conclusion oh,what a clever person. May he rest in peace and thanks for the memories.

Robin Williams was a great comedian, a great actor, and most importantly a great man. Basically made my childhood growing up. You will be missed. RIP.

Great to have seen him from this calm side, too! Intelligent, reflected and kind. It is most of all the human being Robin Williams we are sad to have lost, more than the actor and the comedian. In most of his movies, he was able to let his personality shine through the role figure. That's what makes him so outstanding! Thank you, and bless you, Robin!

These gentlemen provided a GREAT interview space for Robin Williams to be himself...and if HE CHOSE to bring in comedy - but was so low key - it was not required. This is one of his best interviews ever - with 2 people who did not act like sycophants...but 2 guys who appreciated Robin and cared enough to ask well thought out unique questions of this precious man.

OH CAPTAIN MY CAPTAIN MAY YOUR SOUL BE RESTING IN PEACE🌺🌺🌺

Great interview. It seemed like Robin was being himself & didn't feel pressured to perform by acting all zany.

I love that he was chatting away and didn't know they were filming. He seems so down to earth.

16:19 Robin talking about "World's Greatest Dad" is kind of spooky, considering it begins with someone tragically hanging himself. That scene alone is too heart-wrenching for me to watch the movie again, but it's interesting that Robin was so proud of it.

Robin seemed like a person that cared about world events and its people....I turned the nightly news off 2 years ago and no longer worry about the daily BS that is broadcast. Too many wheels grinding in your head will not give you a restful peace. Never really liked many of Robins movies, although was a genius on stage and in a interview situation....just a genuine person that was a gift to all of us and left too soon.

Such brilliant intellect and profound sensitivity!!!!!! This world simply could not hold him any longer. RIP Magnificent Man!

I grew up watching mork & Mindy one awesome person a true icon he will be missed RIP

If Robin Williams can't live in this world I sincerely worry about what the fuck is going on. These are strange times.

This is by far the best & most insightful & revealing interview with Robin Williams ever. Having watched more than one hundred interviews on RU-vid with this improvised comedy genius, it is indeed incredibly rare to see what was really hidden underneath the veil.

Here it is yrs later n he is still so loved n missed....😭❤

RIP Robin you were truly amazing one of a kind.....most great at comedy, improvisation and ad-lib there will never be anyone better. The laughter has died a lot now and a great great light that once was this fantastic amazing comedic genius of you has now been extinguished and that light will never be lit again......so so sad....my heart is broken. Robin you were greatly loved and now you are greatly mourned and missed.....

Robin Williams is the only celebrity I cried over when he passed away. The day his death was announced it was raining where I lived. I imagine those were God's tears. An angel sent to us in human form to save us from our sadness, then taken back to Heaven to entertain those who have left us. RIP, Robin, and thank you for everything. God bless you.

I like to see him like this. I tend to get overwhelmed watching him sometimes...this was very relaxing to see

Mr. Williams was a good comedian, actor, and human being. The entertainment world will never be the same without him.

Thank you for sharing this interview, Mr. Adams. It's hard to believe he will no longer be in this world to share his joyous humor and wit. Huge void that will never be filled. Unless he reincarnates like the Dalai Lama. Great man of the ages. Miss you much, Robin! See you soon.

Still so very much missed. He was my "go to" when I needed a smile and laugh. I still revisit his works but, with the world the way it is today, man oh man, what he could do with Trump/Pence and other politicians. What a great interview! A hidden gem. Thank you to you and Robin for this. ❤

Robin's greatest gift was his mind and his heart! His personality and his talent came from having a brilliant mind! So fast paced and creative! He was like a one of those money counting machines just spitting out incredible material every second! Parkinson's disease would of stole everything he loved from him! The idea of not being able to do what he loved! The frustration from not being able to do it! And then not being able to make the people around you happy! Robin lived to make others happy by doing what he could do best! In his life he suffered from severe depression when he could do the things he loved! Could you imagine how painful that must of been for him? Knowing that soon you could possibly have it all stolen from you by your own body! It's so upsetting to think he couldn't bare to see those days come. I will always love him dearly though for the gift of life he gave to every single one of us! In my days of depression he is here for me. He gave his laugh and smile for us and in return he has my heart. God bless him

It's been several weeks and it still makes me sad that clinical depression beat Robin Williams. He was such an intelligent, sweet person with amazing talent. Depression does not discriminate. RIP Robin.

One heck of an actor but we as fans didn't know what he going through. I watched all his films and his stage comedies yet we didn't know. Like all of us, he had personal troubles trying to reach out ( to you or to anyone as an outlet but i think he found no one to ease him his troubles) - nobody listened. To everyone who think they're all alone, remember you have choices! If nobody listens to you, get out and be in a different environment, leave anything that would remember who you were and go somewhere and start all over and be anonymous and live life to the fullest.

😞such love for this man.

RIP Robin.....A comedy genius who made millions laugh, but could not laugh himself.......depression is sad.

Well done guys, a very good interview, your both understading and warming ; letting Mr wiliams be comfortable and be himself. Well done 👍🏼

What an amazing, open interview with Robin Williams!

I miss you Robin Williams. You'll never know how much you helped me.x

i really like the interviewers in this interview, a nice casual feel to this whole clip

Thank you for posting this wonderful interview. He will be terribly missed.

"And those of you drinking remember where you are. Have a designated driver. And if you get a tattoo take someone with you that speaks Chinese. Just a hint. Happy New Year" - Robin Williams RIP

I will miss this man's brilliant comedy. He was a comic genius. RIP RW.

This is the most subdued I've ever seen him in an interview. He seems so calm.

R.I.P Robin Williams 🌹

I truly enjoyed this interview. It seems like he's got his walls down, not just being 'on' all the way through. Just speaking candidly and honestly as well as bringing some smart and interesting conversation to the interviewers. Thank you for posting this!

😉Thanks to anyone who likes this interview

"Bush was a self-opening pinata."- Robin Williams LMAOOOO so many years later and he is still the greatest. Definitely the #1 person I wish we could magically bring back.

Beautiful. I really wish I got to see him live. I really miss him yet I didn't know him. Very sad. Rest in peace you beautiful man who was my childhood hero.

What an inspirational! So happy my dad got me into watching men like robin William, Jim carry, Steve Martin, billy crystal, jerry Seinfeld any many more growing up. True comedian but very interesting, intelligent men outside of their careers. Life is so dry with out people like robin William. Wish I met him and gave him and hug and told him how much he helped me growing up. Got me out of my depression. Forever appreciated 😍🤩🤩🤩

Robin: "What's your name?" Drag queen: "Rachel Tensions!"

Man I can hear it in his voice

thats robin the way i remember him :) much love

What a great interview. Robin, I'm so sorry we didn't try and help you.

What an amazing man. So smart, talented, and caring. His heart just pours out of him. I will miss him a lot. So grateful for all the gifts he gave.

Rest in powerful peace my favorite celebrity (and homie) of all time Robin Williams 🙏💕⚘⚘🎶✊

This is the best interview with Robin Williams I have ever seen! Thanks you!

RIP Robin Williams Thank you

I miss this man no doubt! So real!

Such a loss to have lost this man...He was a funny talented guy who was hurting inside..Like so many others....God Bless him...

This is a lovely interview, thank you for sharing.

Sure miss this man.

R.I.P. great, great guy

robin by far you are the best,i will missed you so much

I admired him so much as a comedian, actor, and a human being. So sad about his passing. He will be missed.,

Forever in my heart! Rest in Peace!

Miss him so much

Thank you for posting this interview. A rare insight into this zany comic. This is the Robin Williams that his children spoke of. RIP

Nice just to hear his views, his honesty and opened is refreshing. Thank you

crazy to think we all grew up with him in our homes making us laugh n the way he went out, every time i hear his voice its very powerful, much love to all, be forever missed x

...I miss my movie dad. 😔 I wish it had been literally anyone else but him.

I have such a deep adoration for him. He was truly special, there was something so profoundly lovable about him. I miss him so much.

great interview! thank you for posting. such a gentle soul.

RIP dear man--geez what a deep loss.

I enjoyed this so much➡for me, the "interview" has the tones & delights of a conversation. Genuine interests all round, thought-provoking, resonance, laughter--kind of like friends, around the kitchen table, catching up w/one who's been away for a long time. I've saved it---for future reference & repeat viewings. Thanks very much for taking the trouble to post/share it❣

The more videos i watch of Robin Williams the more i miss his him and always will ...may he be at peace now to be himself amoung the angels .

9:20 .... Wow, if he could only have been here now.

Such a wonderful man who brought laughter to our hearts, who would have known that he was a tortured soul, I sadly miss him.

Thank you for sharing. It's fascinating to see a complete other side to him. I'd seen some of his serious stuff, but this interview, his asking questions too shows his heart. He is most definitely missed.

THIS is a wonderful interview!

R.I.P Robin Williams will miss you become an angel in heaven 😇😇😢😢😢😢

He comes across as such a lovely guy in this splendid interview. Makes me feel so sad he's no longer with us. God bless him. 'O' Captain my captain'.

Thank you, Michael Adams, for posting this wonderful minutes! This interview is a rare and precious gift: It gives an idea of the real Robin Williams "behind the sometimes manic persona ... in other interviews". A humorous, and - yes, sometimes - funny, but low-keyed, serious and kind man. Yes, he will be missed...very much.

mike. thanks so much for uploading this. i had never seen robin interviewed where he was calm and mostly serious. i didn't know if he was capable of this. miss him. you were lucky to have spent this time with him

Been 2 weeks or so and I am still stunned..Robin was ever present and I never realized how much he meant to me until he was gone. I saw the original broadcast of Happy Days when he first came on the scene and then all that he did for the next 30 years or so. Like losing family for all of us. Guess we gotta deal with it. Love Robin and family.

I've never seen such a realistic interview of him. Genius.

Wonderful interview!

Amazing man -- incredible loss. Even a few months prior to his passing, he was still spot on.

It’s lovely to see Robin so calm and relaxed here. No putting on a show. He was one of the greats and I miss him terribly.

i love Robin's honestly, calmness and strength of character here. He looks very comfortable with the interviewers that he didn't seem to switch into roles as much as he does in other interviews, and really responded to every question with intelligence and wit (not just humor) . The conversation is so engaging.Thank you to all involved for making this available to us.

:( I liked him so much

Tuesday, May 20, 2014--6:56 pm CST Thank you Michael for telling me when this interview was done. Sincerely, Terry Marvin (Dallas, Texas)

This interview has an authentic feel to it, like they just happened to have a camera capturing a conversation at the bar. You can tell he's still trying to be funny though cause its sorta expected of him but still great.

'I'm just gonna 'Jump Around' here' Nicely played reference to Doubtfire there. Great interview.

he looked sad in his last days , you can tell by this interview .

amazing interview!!

Thanks of sharing, one of my favorite interviews.

Great interview really shows how friendly Robin Williams was, and honestly i think that's the most important quality a person can have and that's something to be proud of. Oh plus he gave us Death to Smoochy :>

My dearest friend may you rest in heavenly peace I miss u so very very much I miss your smile and a twinkle in your eye your one of the comedian in my book love ur smile and laughter in your voice

Never met him but what a talent. I hope he knew how much he meant to us.

Thanks for posting this wonderful interview! Robin Williams is still around in the stratosphere somewhere, radiating good will and searing honesty, and that ineffable quality no-one else has. When my mom was dying of brain cancer, part of my job, at her request, was to come up with a comedy per day. Then she experienced Robin Williams and it didn't matter if it was funny or not. Eternally in his debt. I don't know what I would do if I discovered I had Parkinson's with Lewes bodies, with my identity so invested in the compulsion to present reality as curved space. My mom (Eva) survived the camps in WW2 and her humour was often pretty black; a total survival mechanism. A cesspool of consciousness indeed. Lucky to be touched by both those guys. Glad she missed Trump, so glad she found her alter-ego at the last minute.
