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 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.
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've always felt like such an outsider in this industry. Because I'm so insane I guess.
Robert Downey, Jr.
It's a very smart and heartfelt movie and that's why, I think, we're all drawn to it. We really showed up for this with this collective idea that it was really ambitious, but we felt we all really had something to gain from it.

Robert Downey, Jr.
I used to be so convinced that happiness was the goal, yet all those years I was chasing after it I was unhappy in the pursuit. Maybe the goal really should be a life that values honor, duty, good work, friends and family.
Robert Downey, Jr.
It's weird when one movie that's connected to another doesn't reference that movie at all.
Robert Downey, Jr.
And last but not the least
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.

Robert Downey, Jr.
Job one is get out of that cave. A lot of people do get out but don't change.
Robert Downey, Jr.
I don't drink these days. I am allergic to alcohol and narcotics. I break out in handcuffs.
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.
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.
