But oh, to be free. Not to have to go "Poof! What do you need, "Poof! What do you need, Poof! What do you need?". To be my own master. Such a thing would be greater than all the magic and all the treasures in all the world. But what am I talking about? Let's get real here, that's never gonna happen. Genie, wake up and smell the hummus.

Rest easy, Genie. Sad

So sad. I hope this tragedy can be a wake up call to those suffering from depression to seek the help they need. He will be greatly missed.

Thinking of a Birdcage and Hook double feature is in order.

I can still recall watching the episode of Happy Days (initial airing) where Mork from Ork was introduced.

Very sad, he was truly a comedic genius.

YES! I remember him on Happy Days as well. Was reading something from Henry Winkler last night where he was recalling how he'd have to stifle his laughter when filming with Robin, he was just that funny.

Robin Williams...an incredibly gifted man. Talent beyond. Comic and timing genius.

He WAS genie. He owned that! I recently read that he barely followed the script. It was all his improv genius.

I am truly sad, that he lived in darkness, while making me laugh. I can only hope and pray that he is at peace, while my thoughts and prayers are with his family, as they pick up the pieces from this tragedy.

I can't stop crying. It is so sad that this time around he could not crawl out of the black hole of depression that so many of us suffer from. Do not be fooled by the laughter on the outside, it so often covers the pain inside.
RIP Robin, you will be missed and remembered with love by many.

I've read quotes from directors that when working with Robin, they'd simply just let the camera keep rolling and not try to control it, just capture it.
