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.

Remember that just because you hit bottom doesn't mean you have to stay there.

I don't need an Iron Man suit. I'm already a weapon of mass seduction.

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 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.

I don't like words coming out of a character's mouth that I adore because not only is he a little bit duplicitous but he's kind of practical in the way he thinks, and he thinks in terms of everyone's humanity and how quickly we can go against what we think we meant when we said it or what we believe or blah, blah, blah.

I really don't want to thank my wife because I could be bussing tables at the Daily Grill right now if not for her. Jesus, what a gig that'd be.
Robert Downey, Jr.

I'm an actor, a husband, a father of two, and a full-time Avenger.

I think life changes every year. This is just a little more comfortable.
Robert Downey, Jr.

Sometimes everything you need to know to be an actor in your mid-forties, you learn before you were 15 years old.
Robert Downey, Jr.

Mediocrity is my biggest fear. I'm not afraid of total failure because I don't think that will happen. I'm not afraid of success because that beats the hell out of failure. It's being in the middle that scares me.

I'm not a poster boy for good behavior and recovery in Hollywood, I'm just a guy who knows he has a lot to be grateful for.

Does any new parent, even if you're not a first-time parent, ever really know what to do?

I make faces for cash and chicken.

But I will agree that I think that things happen with people in relationships, that you might have been able to enjoy Morocco, say, if you weren't getting out of a bad marriage. You know what I mean?
Robert Downey, Jr.
Image
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.
Image
I don't want to be so confident in myself.
Robert Downey, Jr.
