"His [Benedict’s] enthusiasm, though, can have side effects notably an inability not to talk about the things he says he doesn’t want to talk about, if he actually wants to talk about them. This becomes clear early on, when he says he musn’t, under any circumstances, under pain of death, talk about his new family. He then, of course, proceeds to talk quite a lot about his new family. Most topics, it turns out, lead to it: from the age (“The only thing about age that hits home is that you are very aware of your own mortality. It’s not about your life or ageing or anything like that, it’s actually about wanting to live long enough to protect that child”), to how sunny it is (“With the baba, I smother him in factor 1,000 and he still gets a tan”), to his up-at-4am workout routine to get ripped for Doctor Strange (“That actually got me through being a first-time father. I say that as if I was the only one getting up. Sophie really was incredible during those first few months.”), to working long days on Sherlock (“Getting home to see your family becomes the main thing - I’ll do the overtime but can I make bathtime?”)"
“My favorite memory of Robin Williams was from Muhammad Ali’s Celebrity Fight Night. I was the em-cee at the benefit dinner/auction, trying to get everyone to take their seats so we could start the show but not having much success. Jim Carrey jumps up on his chair at the head table and says, “Hey!! Do you know who that is? That’s Reba McEntire! Now sit down and shut up!” Robin at the other end of the head table, stands on his chair and says the same thing but in a foreign language! The crowd loved it, laughed and found their seats. I was speechless and in awe of these very talented wonderful men.” - Reba McEntire
RIP, Robin Williams (July 21st, 1951 - August 11th, 2014)
