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.

Robert Downey, Jr.
It was a democracy in the truest and most frustrating and most rewarding sense of the word. Anybody could come in and say, You know, I'm just not cool with that. We'd be like, Who's that? Oh, I was just cleaning the trailers. It was nuts.
Robert Downey, Jr.
