I'm not particularly tall, strong, fast, or aggressive.
From Robert Downey, Jr.
Acting is always a challenge.
I'm not 40 yet. I wouldn't even bother comparing myself to Chaplin.
I know very little about acting. I'm just an incredibly gifted faker.
I take some pride in... representing myself exactly how I would like to have my son remember me to his kids.
'Shaggy Dog' was a very, very important movie for me. It was a very enjoyable experience.
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.
Dad's Jewish and Irish, Mom's German and Scotch. I couldn't say I was anything. My last name isn't even Downey. My dad changed his name when he wanted to get into the Army and was underage. My real name is Robert Elias. I feel like I'm still looking for a home in some way.
In movies, people seem to be more emotional than they would ever be if that situation was actually happening to them.
I'm very good at deconstructing. I'm a very good troubleshooter for why something is unlikely to work. And most everything is unlikely to work.
