Robin Williams has been talking to news
website Ananova
about his upcoming movies Insomnia and One
Hour Photo. He describes both movies as "really
strange, bizarre pieces. For me, it is like Picasso's blue period.
I do a dark period now," Williams said. "I'm
going into my orange period next. If
you keep doing dark, dark characters then the surprise value
is gone. So you have to find something else,"
he said.
