Is Walt turning over in his grave? A man named Joe Roth runs Disney right now-he gave me the go-ahead and total freedom to do whatever I wanted to do.
- Tim has realized that the secret to happiness is staying engaged while being disengaged, whether it is from things that bring about stress like the news, or disengaging in the form of a holiday. The most important factor is not to let outside forces dictate one’s interests. He has observed that finding freedom may be simpler than we think.
- After graduation from college in 1981, Robbins had launched the experimental theater group in Los Angeles called the Actors’ Gang. Its members had consisted of Tim’s actor friends from his college softball team that had included John Cusack. The ensemble used to express radical political observations through the European avant-garde form of theater.
- Robbins began performing in theater at the age of 12.
- Tim shifted to Greenwich Village with his family when he was young, while his father pursued a musical career as a member of the folk group The Highwaymen.
- He was brought up in New York City.
