More quotes by Robert Downey, Jr.
I don't want to be so confident in myself.
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.
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.
I've always been a fella who put most of my eggs in one basket and then take a dump in the basket but I really don't know.
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 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.
I'm coming from a place of total strength and humility now.
Robert Downey, Jr.
I know if you talk faster and use more ten-dollar words than everyone around you, you convince half of them that they should shut up because you know what you're talking about.
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 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 thought that the grounded-ish nature of the first Iron Man and where I think the success of it was based was I think people got excited that this was a technologically possible occurrence and didn't Obama order an Iron Man?
Robert Downey, Jr.
I don't need an Iron Man suit. I'm already a weapon of mass seduction.
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.
Do I want to be a hero to my son? No. I would like to be a very real human being. That's hard enough.
Robert Downey, Jr.
Tofu is the root of all evil, and there's only one thing that can change a man's mind, and that's a modified Uzi with an extra-long clip.
Robert Downey, Jr.
I don't think I'm in any position to give anybody advice about anything.
Robert Downey, Jr.
And last but not the least
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.
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.
Robert Downey, Jr.
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.
