More quotes by Robert Downey, Jr.
I have a sense of destiny that you are led to the things you are supposed to do.
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.
There's somewhere you're supposed to go, and if you get quiet enough, you'll make it.
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.
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.
The audience can feel the subtleties of the characters.
Robert Downey, Jr.
To me, friendship means loving tolerance.
Robert Downey, Jr.
I had this bad-boy-from-New York vibe going, dressed like a punk rocker with spiky hair.
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.
Robert Downey, Jr.
And I think for a man whose native tongue is Spanish to be able to put together a phrase like 'cultural genocide' just speaks to how bright he is.
Robert Downey, Jr.
I'm coming from a place of total strength and humility now.
Robert Downey, Jr.
I remember when people said, Man, that's a powerful scene in the movie! and I was like, We just shot this thing before lunch, I don't know, he tears a log apart, I said some words.
Robert Downey, Jr.
I think the goal is to make a well written scene seem like it's improvised and/or to come up with things that you find in the room that you couldn't have known until you get into the real situation, just try to improve things as you go along.
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.
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.
It's weird when one movie that's connected to another doesn't reference that movie at all.
Robert Downey, Jr.
Sometimes you're not supposed to enjoy it [acting]. You're supposed to cooperate with misery and proceed anyway. But what I do enjoy is a sense of well-being and just participating in life and life's turns.
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 think you end up doing the stuff you were supposed to do at the time you were supposed to do it.
Robert Downey, Jr.
At the end of the day, anything I think I'm sacrificing I'm just giving up because it makes me feel better.
Robert Downey, Jr.
