More quotes by 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.

Robert Downey, Jr.
I had this bad-boy-from-New York vibe going, dressed like a punk rocker with spiky hair.
Robert Downey, Jr.
I don't drink these days. I am allergic to alcohol and narcotics. I break out in handcuffs.
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.
Nobody learns a German aria overnight, except Jared Harris.
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.
I've always just shown up and tried to figure out what's for lunch and am I going to get to play some racquetball that night.
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.
Remember that just because you hit bottom doesn't mean you have to stay there.
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.
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.
