Video animates never-before-heard interview with Robin Williams

"Comedy is there to make you aware of your humanity."

American television network PBS creates a series of animated films, called Blank on Blank, which are used to illustrate rarely-heard interviews with leading figures like Maya Angelou, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and John Lennon.

They recently released one of an interview from 1991 with comic legend Robin Williams which contains some pearls of wisdom.

Just be aware that some of Williams' brilliant observations about the role of the artist in society and about sex are ever so slightly NSFW.

His account of the birth of one of his kids had us in stitches.
