Deceased Robin Williams Comments on Love of Greece
Tragically, award-winning actor and Greek fan Robin Williams died yesterday in the Bay Area suburb of Tiburon, California. Williams voiced his love of Greece in a 2011 interview by George Satsidis.
When asked what he thinks of Greece, the talented entertainer stated:
"I have come for a holiday with a boat and we went to all the islands. Facing them you say: "I can not believe that here is recounted everything we read in Greek mythology." Greek History is something all mankind must must bow . Maybe your economy goes to hell, but that does not mean you're helpless. Economic data is constantly changing in Europe and America for all. What is not changing is the legacy, your identity. The Parthenon does not leave Athens. It's there to remind that progress and prosperity may return. I am now in England, for example, I went nowhere. I'm here to promote the movie and I will leave. What to see, Buckingham Palace? I Do not care. As when I go to Germany, I 'm not interested in the Berlin Wall, which is not a symbol of prosperity, but the opposite. But you can not ignore Delos, the Parthenon and Mycenae!"
