I wouldn't want to see anything irreparable happen, but I also like it when seemingly irreparable thing occur and men and women find a way to move past it.
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.
I guess the main thing is, you unconsciously take things for granted, and you think the audience is with you, because you're with yourself.
Robert Downey, Jr.
Nobody learns a German aria overnight, except Jared Harris.
Robert Downey, Jr.
[Addiction's] not about placating the bad dog - it's about feeding the good dog. You still have to feed the bad dog, but only enough so that the ASPCA doesn't bring you up on charges.
Robert Downey, Jr.
Violent ground-acquisition games such as football are in fact a crypto-fascist metaphor for nuclear war.

And last but not the least

McDonald's being the official restaurant of the Olympics is like smoking being the official medicine of cancer.
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.

Robert Downey, Jr.
I did Air America for two reasons: to be in a movie with Mel Gibson and to make a bunch of money. And then underneath there was the hope that in doing this formulaic thing I would be launched into a whole new realm of opportunity to do A-list movies. By the time we were done, the only positive thing was meeting Mel Gibson.
Robert Downey, Jr.
You have to let go of the things that are darling to you. You have to take the focus off yourself and put it on the shape of the scene and the intention of what everyone else needs.
Robert Downey, Jr.
I don't think I'm in any position to give anybody advice about anything.
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 think paranoia goes from generation to generation. It's convenient to imagine that there's a few people controlling everything, that way it's manageable and small. But that's not life, life is messy.
Robert Downey, Jr.
I'm a soldier who didn't know how nasty the battle was going to be, and now, I've got a purple heart and I'm back.
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've always felt that if you're not on your side, why should anyone else be. So I always encourage people to be confident, and sometime even a little falsely so, just so you can give yourself an opportunity.
Robert Downey, Jr.
I'm not a method guy. I can't be bothered to have a method. I just want to be a part of a good movie and I can't stand to be surrounded by morons.
Robert Downey, Jr.
To me, friendship means loving tolerance.
Robert Downey, Jr.
