"I've never known a sweeter, brighter, more considerate person than Robin. Robin's commitment as an artist to lifting our mood and making us happy is compared to none. He loved us all, and we loved him back."

"Heartbroken. Thanks chief—for your friendship and for what you gave the world. Robin had a ton of love in him. He personally did so much for so many people. He made Matt and my dreams come true. What do you owe a guy who does that? Everything. May you find peace my friend. #RobinWilliams."

Barack Obama

"Robin Williams was an airman, a doctor, a genie, a nanny, a president, a professor, a bangarang Peter Pan and everything in between. But he was one of a kind. He arrived in our lives as an alien—but he ended up touching every element of the human spirit. He made us laugh. He made us cry. He gave his immeasurable talent freely and generously to those who needed it most—from our troops stationed abroad to the marginalized on our own streets. The Obama family offers our condolences to Robin's family, his friends and everyone who found their voice and their verse thanks to Robin Williams."

Nathan Lane

"One day in 1995 while riffing in the character of a snobby French toy store owner, Robin made me laugh so hard and so long that I cried. It seemed to please him to no end. Yesterday I cried again at the thought that he was gone. What I will always remember about Robin, perhaps even more than his comic genius, extraordinary talent and astounding intellect, was his huge heart—his tremendous kindness, generosity and compassion as an acting partner, colleague and fellow traveler in a difficult world. My heartfelt condolences to his wife and family."

Scott Weinger

"Robin Williams was my hero long before I had the incredible luck to work with him on Aladdin. As a child I had a Mork doll, and when I moved to Los Angeles as a teenager to pursue my acting career, the first thing I did was put a Dead Poets Society poster up in my room. Landing the role of Aladdin and having a chance to share a recording booth with the legend himself was one of the great experiences of my life. When we first met, he shook my hand and said, "I'll be your Genie." And he really was, because working with him was magical."

"My life is a better place because I knew Robin Williams. To my children he was Uncle Robin, to everyone he worked with, he was the best boss anyone had ever known, and to me he was not just an inspiration, but he was the father I had always dreamed of having. There are not enough adjectives to describe the light he was to anyone that ever had the pleasure to meet him. I will miss him everyday, but I know the memory of him will live on. And to his family, I thank them for letting us know him and seeing the joy they brought him. Us crazy ones love you."

"Robin Williams changed my life. He was a great actor and a generous person. Through a scholarship, he made it possible for me to graduate college. His generous spirit will forever inspire me to support others as he supported me. He will forever be missed."

Seth Meyers

"I never worked with him. I was lucky enough to meet him. The times I met him, he stopped by UCB [Upright Citizens Brigade] one time, he did a cameo on SNL another time, and he was really lovely. It's really sad. It's really heartbreaking. He was such an important person to myself and a lot of the people who work on my show, to everyone in comedy."

"I'm stunned and so sad about Robin. I'm sad for the world of comedy. And so very sad for his family. And I'm sad for Robin. He always lit up when he was able to make people laugh, and he made them laugh his whole life long...tirelessly. He was one of a kind. There will not be another. Please God, let him now rest in peace."

"As funny as he was—he's truly one of the all time greats—he was even better as a person. He was even more fantastic. He was one of the loveliest and sweetest and kindest guys I've ever worked with. Just such a soft, warm, emotionally sweet guy. It's a major, major loss for everybody."
