It's become this really odd thing where even some of the folks who build the things that we wear for entertainment are contacted by DARPA-esque companies who are saying, Yeah, we're really doing that, and we want to talk to you.
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've always felt like such an outsider in this industry. Because I'm so insane I guess.
Robert Downey, Jr.
