Zelda Williams, the daughter of the late comedian Robin Williams, sat down for her first interview since her famous father died last summer. During the interview, the 25-year-old said it was important to keep her father’s charity work going.

Zelda sat down with NBC News’ Kate Snow for a Today Show interview, which aired this morning. It was timed for a “Noble Award,” which she will pick up in her father’s place to honor his humanitarian work. It focuses on his work with the Challenged Athletes Foundation, which helps disabled athletes.

“He’s done charity as long as he had the wherewithal and the ability to do it. That was what his favorite thing other than comedy really was,” Zelda told Snow.

She added that she understands that “a lot of people feel his absence,” which was made obvious by the world’s response to his shocking death from suicide in August 2014. People will remember him for “the characters that he had so much fun being, and that's what's important, and I do think that's what a lot of people will hold on to and that's not going anywhere,” Zelda said.

Snow asked Zelda if she had thought about why Williams committed suicide. “I don’t think there’s a point. It’s not important to ask,” she replied.

When it comes to memories, Zelda hopes to hold on to the best of them. And she got a hummingbird tattoo on her right hand, which helps her deal with the loss, since the bird reminders her of him.

“It’s going to take a lot of work to allow myself to have the sort of fun, happy life that I had, but that's important,” Zelda said. “Anybody who has ever lost anyone works very hard to continue that memory in a positive way.”

Zelda became a more public figure in the days after her father’s death, as she had to take a stand against nasty comments on social media. She even had to quit Twitter, although she has since returned.
