More quotes by Robert Downey, Jr.
And last but not the least
Robert Downey, Jr.

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.

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.
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.
I don't want to be so confident in myself.
Robert Downey, Jr.
Violent ground-acquisition games such as football are in fact a crypto-fascist metaphor for nuclear war.
Robert Downey, Jr.
Every time I feel that I really hit critical mass and I'm in the right place is when I feel like the director and I become a third thing, and that's the character.
Robert Downey, Jr.
I think life changes every year. This is just a little more comfortable.
Robert Downey, Jr.
There's somewhere you're supposed to go, and if you get quiet enough, you'll make it.
Robert Downey, Jr.
My old man had a philosophy: peace means having a bigger stick than the other guy.
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.
I don't think I'm in any position to give anybody advice about anything.
Robert Downey, Jr.
