Later in that chapter of his memoir, Eric Roberts further detailed his relationship with Williams.
“Robin was always giving me advice.
To tell the truth, he was a bit pompous about his intelligence,” he wrote.
“You look arrogant, dude.
People think you are,” Williams said.

Youve let them take you down their road, man!
Roberts recalled Williams saying.
‘Theyre not artists!’
He said I was an artist, but I wasnt acting like one because I wanted to win.
But no matter what he said, I still wanted to win the f—ing award."
“Robin wasnt immune to the allure of movie fame and success,” he wrote.
But I thought he was cool.
