And last but not the least

The higher the stakes, the happier I am, the better I will be.
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.

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.
There's somewhere you're supposed to go, and if you get quiet enough, you'll make it.

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 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.
Robert Downey, Jr.
I never know when the seeds are being laid, I'm just like, Wow, that's a pretty cool scene. Is that? Are we laying seeds here?
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.
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 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'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.
I don't want to be so confident in myself.
Robert Downey, Jr.
I just don't like big guys who speak cryptically and act like they understand the language better than me.
Robert Downey, Jr.
Does any new parent, even if you're not a first-time parent, ever really know what to do?
