More quotes by Robert Downey, Jr.
There's somewhere you're supposed to go, and if you get quiet enough, you'll make it.
Robert Downey, Jr.
Sometimes you're not supposed to enjoy it [acting]. You're supposed to cooperate with misery and proceed anyway. But what I do enjoy is a sense of well-being and just participating in life and life's turns.
Robert Downey, Jr.
I don't need an Iron Man suit. I'm already a weapon of mass seduction.
Robert Downey, Jr.
I don't like words coming out of a character's mouth that I adore because not only is he a little bit duplicitous but he's kind of practical in the way he thinks, and he thinks in terms of everyone's humanity and how quickly we can go against what we think we meant when we said it or what we believe or blah, blah, blah.
Robert Downey, Jr.
You know, when you're part of a comedic duo, you can take breaks. It's kind of like having a partner that is good with a kid.
Robert Downey, Jr.
Do I want to be a hero to my son? No. I would like to be a very real human being. That's hard enough.
Robert Downey, Jr.
Smoking dope and smoking coke, you are rendered defenseless. The only way out of that hopeless state is intervention.
Robert Downey, Jr.
People never change because they are under threat or under duress. Never. They change because they see something that makes their life seem valuable enough to start moving toward a life worth living.
Robert Downey, Jr.
I don't drink these days. I am allergic to alcohol and narcotics. I break out in handcuffs.
Robert Downey, Jr.
It's like I have a loaded gun in my mouth and I like the taste of metal
Robert Downey, Jr.
A lot of my peer group think I'm an eccentric bisexual, like I may even have an ammonia-filled tentacle somewhere on my body. That's okay.
Robert Downey, Jr.
I really don't want to thank my wife because I could be bussing tables at the Daily Grill right now if not for her. Jesus, what a gig that'd be.
Robert Downey, Jr.
I thought that the grounded-ish nature of the first Iron Man and where I think the success of it was based was I think people got excited that this was a technologically possible occurrence and didn't Obama order an Iron Man?
Robert Downey, Jr.
I'm not used to studios being ecstatic about we did and saying, Please go do that again.
Robert Downey, Jr.
Listen, smile, agree, then do whatever you were going to do anyway.
Robert Downey, Jr.
But I will agree that I think that things happen with people in relationships, that you might have been able to enjoy Morocco, say, if you weren't getting out of a bad marriage. You know what I mean?
Robert Downey, Jr.
I've always been a fella who put most of my eggs in one basket and then take a dump in the basket but I really don't know.
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.
I felt like a fighter who was training for a title bout that had not been booked yet.
Robert Downey, Jr.
Remember that just because you hit bottom doesn't mean you have to stay there.
Robert Downey, Jr.
