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 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.
Sometimes everything you need to know to be an actor in your mid-forties, you learn before you were 15 years old.
Robert Downey, Jr.
My old man had a philosophy: peace means having a bigger stick than the other guy.
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.
