Robin Williams enjoys 'Happy' moments

AP: What's life like for you now that all your children are adults?

Williams: It's quiet. I just saw my daughter, Zelda, the other night. My oldest son is married, and my youngest son just went off to college. It's like they've left the earth's gravity, and I'm watching them. "There he gooooes!" I'm just so proud. I don't have a college degree, and my father didn't have a college degree, so when my son, Zachary, graduated from college, I said, "My boy's got learnin'!"

AP: What about your heart surgery? How has that affected how you live your life now?

Williams: I learned to appreciate the idea of just taking it a little bit easier. You just have to be a little more present. It's really wonderful. It makes you appreciate everything — like breath, and friends and family. Taking it down just a little bit and traveling at the speed of life is a much easier journey.

AP: It seems like you've done everything. What do you want to tackle next?

Williams: After getting married and just coming back from the honeymoon, I have to look at what I want to do in the next year. I want to do a movie, but it has to be the right movie, whether it's independent or a studio movie. I'm much more open to being a supporting actor right now. At the age of 60, I'll be second fiddle. Fine. I'm happy to do it.
