Does any new parent, even if you're not a first-time parent, ever really know what to do?
Robert Downey, Jr.
It's a very smart and heartfelt movie and that's why, I think, we're all drawn to it. We really showed up for this with this collective idea that it was really ambitious, but we felt we all really had something to gain from it.
Robert Downey, Jr.
It's weird when one movie that's connected to another doesn't reference that movie at all.
