Robert Downey, Jr.
It's weird when one movie that's connected to another doesn't reference that movie at all.
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.

I was kind of like chasing my tail and trying to do the right thing, and was a little bit stupid. Or irresponsible, which is the same thing I guess. It's just been really busy and I had a lot of great opportunities.

Robert Downey, Jr.
Violent ground-acquisition games such as football are in fact a crypto-fascist metaphor for nuclear war.
Robert Downey, Jr.

Robert Downey, Jr.
People never change because they are under threat or under duress. Never. They change because they see something that makes their life seem valuable enough to start moving toward a life worth living.
Robert Downey, Jr.
Does any new parent, even if you're not a first-time parent, ever really know what to do?
Robert Downey, Jr.
I loved it, it's such fun. I like that people are seeing it and then talking about it. Like when I took my son and his friends to see Napoleon Dynamite last year, we spent the next six weeks trying to explain it.
Robert Downey, Jr.
I had this bad-boy-from-New York vibe going, dressed like a punk rocker with spiky hair.
Robert Downey, Jr.
Whenever I watch someone doing something, even if it doesn't turn out so great, I at least admire their intentions and stuff.
Robert Downey, Jr.
I don't drink these days. I am allergic to alcohol and narcotics. I break out in handcuffs.
