Every time I feel that I really hit critical mass and I'm in the right place is when I feel like the director and I become a third thing, and that's the character.
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 take some pride in... representing myself exactly how I would like to have my son remember me to his kids.

I think the goal is to make a well written scene seem like it's improvised and/or to come up with things that you find in the room that you couldn't have known until you get into the real situation, just try to improve things as you go along.
Robert Downey, Jr.
I've always just shown up and tried to figure out what's for lunch and am I going to get to play some racquetball that night.
