Robert Downey, Jr.
I'm not used to studios being ecstatic about we did and saying, Please go do that again.

Growing up is something that you do your whole life. I want to always feel that I can be a kid if I want. Growing up has some negative connotations. Like, you're not supposed to roll around on the ground anymore. You're not supposed to make fun of yourself. You're not supposed to ride a bicycle. But I'm a Toys-R-Us kid.

Robert Downey, Jr.

Robert Downey, Jr.
I've always felt like such an outsider in this industry. Because I'm so insane I guess.
Robert Downey, Jr.
I don't need an Iron Man suit. I'm already a weapon of mass seduction.
Robert Downey, Jr.

Robert Downey, Jr.
There are some parents who have really done it right and told their kid, 'You know, we have this dough, none of this is for you. You have to get your own.
Robert Downey, Jr.
I need a lot of support... Life is really hard, and I don't see some active benevolent force out there. I see it as basically a really cool survival game. You get on the right side of the tracks, and you now are actually working with what some people would call magic.
Robert Downey, Jr.
And last but not the least
Robert Downey, Jr.
Job one is get out of that cave. A lot of people do get out but don't change.
Robert Downey, Jr.
I just don't like big guys who speak cryptically and act like they understand the language better than me.
Robert Downey, Jr.
I've always felt that if you're not on your side, why should anyone else be. So I always encourage people to be confident, and sometime even a little falsely so, just so you can give yourself an opportunity.
Robert Downey, Jr.
Remember that just because you hit bottom doesn't mean you have to stay there.
Robert Downey, Jr.
