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. Like, you're not supposed to roll around on the ground anymore. You're not supposed to make fun of yourself. You're not supposed to ride a bicycle. But I'm a Toys-R-Us kid.

By the time we were done, the only positive thing was meeting Mel Gibson.
Robert Downey, Jr.
I'm not used to studios being ecstatic about we did and saying, Please go do that again.
