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 don't want to be so confident in myself.
Robert Downey, Jr.
I was kind of like chasing my tail and trying to do the right thing, and was a little bit stupid. Or irresponsible, which is the same thing I guess. It's just been really busy and I had a lot of great opportunities.
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.
It's hard to get out of the barrel. It's slippery around the edges and people are happy to see you fall back in.
Robert Downey, Jr.
I take some pride in... representing myself exactly how I would like to have my son remember me to his kids.
Robert Downey, Jr.
People never change because they are under threat or under duress. Never. They change because they see something that makes their life seem valuable enough to start moving toward a life worth living.
Robert Downey, Jr.
