SALUTE TO TREAT WILLIAMS
ROBERT TREAT WILLIAMS was killed today in Dorset, Vermont when an SUV collided with his motorcycle. Besides being a good actor he was a fine husband and father. Here are some of his words.
I define success as being comfortable with yourself and your life. and that is about as good as it gets, really.
Disappoint anyone . . . hell disappoint everyone — but don’t ever disappoint yourself.
MOST OF US are flawed, complicated people, and we’re all trying very hard to disguise that or hide it from the public, ultimately we respond to someone who’s capable of doing heroic things but has issues or problems in their life that they can’t seem to resolve. I believe audiences identify with that.All of us have these secrets and those things we wish we could improve about ourselves. And when you have someone who’s heroic and flawed, I think it makes us feel better about ourselves.
Sounds so silly, but I want to accomplish getting my kids through college.
I can’t imagine my life being any more successful than it is now.
I have a beautiful wife and two beautiful children and every day I am paid to do what I love.
BAMBI CAN’T ACT. BAMBI HAD A MAJOR ATTITUDE.
I JUST LOVE working with actors in general.
