Robert Downey, Jr.
I make faces for cash and chicken.
Robert Downey, Jr.

It's a very smart and heartfelt movie and that's why, I think, we're all drawn to it. We really showed up for this with this collective idea that it was really ambitious, but we felt we all really had something to gain from it.
Robert Downey, Jr.

Robert Downey, Jr.
There is unpanned gold in every soul you run into, no matter what walk of life they are from.
