Interview with

Robin Williams

By: Leo Ventocilla

Yes, if you were invited to the press junket of “License to Wed”,

you would think this was like the

Laughing Factory. If you are not

careful with your questions, you’ll become Robin Williams’s target.

this new film Robin plays the family Reverend. Mandy Moore and

John Krasinski decide to enroll

in Robin’s marriage prep course

because that’s the only way this union will be blessed. This

interview

was edited for DTodos, when you hear the interview in my weekly

radio show at Kclafm.

com on Saturday at 2 p.m. you’ll hear how often

he had us laughing.

Do you think you are very spiritual?

Robin Williams: I was a choirboy, and I'm not Catholic,. Just going

back to the old days when I was

into going to church and

remembering, as a Protestant, which is Catholic light, once again, the

idea

of somebody that could really advise and has something offer. I

think for that it was just

remembering those guys that I grew up with

in the Episcopal church, which is there is no purgatory,

just spiritual

escrow.

Who inspired religiously for your character?

Billy Graham. No, Reverend Ernest Aingley, but then he had to go

away for going to recreational

bars. Reverend Swaggart. No. No

religious people. I vaguely remember that there was one

reverend

who was actually very funny and that may be the model. But there

was no one specific.

Reverend Haggard. No. Where do you for gay

rehab? That's what I just want to know. Cock

Enders. Okay.

Is it easy or hard to find scripts for your sense humor?

Very hard. It is hard to find something where you can go off as much

as I do in standup, but I think

standup allows me that freedom. Where

you can really go off and have a good time. But within the

character

there's enough room to play and when you have someone like Jon

Krasinski and Mandy,

people who will play opposite you and keep

going.

What about the 10-year old sidekick?

That's why he's a Protestant. If you had a Catholic priest with a small

boy they're already going,

'what's up?' It's a boy for the weekends.

It's been a difficult thing for the Catholic Church to deal

with after all

these years when they have the Divine Witness Protection program.

It's like three

card, 'find a priest, find a pedophile, find a priest. Here

we go. Where is he? There he is. Whoa,

found him. Move him over to

another parish. Okay, find him.' Hence, a lot of parishes don't have

Little League programs anymore.

Any suggestions for having a lasting relationship?

The ability to be honest, the ability to talk, the ability to deal with in-

laws, the ability to fight and get

over it, get through it because like he

says, intimacy and the initial lust, which is great at the

beginning, it

doesn't fade as so much go in wave motions...
