When we honored Robin, at the after-party, he would go around to everybody who worked at the restaurant. The chef, the cook, the busboys, and shake their hands, and he would go around and talk to them. Outside the theater, he would take the time to respond to people. And his answers were always so genuine, came from such a wonderful place, I would just sit there in awe. …. It’s a tremendous loss.
— Mark Fishkin, director/founder of the California Film Institute, remembering his friend Robin Williams (SFGate: Friends, fellow comedians react to Williams’ death).
