More quotes by 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.
I don't drink these days. I am allergic to alcohol and narcotics. I break out in handcuffs.
Robert Downey, Jr.
Do I want to be a hero to my son? No. I would like to be a very real human being. That's hard enough.
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.
It's weird when one movie that's connected to another doesn't reference that movie at all.
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.
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.
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.
Listen, smile, agree, then do whatever you were going to do anyway.
Robert Downey, Jr.
To me, friendship means loving tolerance.
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.
I'm not a method guy. I can't be bothered to have a method. I just want to be a part of a good movie and I can't stand to be surrounded by morons.
Robert Downey, Jr.
I don't think I'm in any position to give anybody advice about anything.
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.
I've always felt like such an outsider in this industry. Because I'm so insane I guess.
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.
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 take some pride in... representing myself exactly how I would like to have my son remember me to his kids.
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.
I've always been a fella who put most of my eggs in one basket and then take a dump in the basket but I really don't know.
Robert Downey, Jr.
