Robert Downey Jr. Quotes

"I've always felt like such an outsider in this industry. Because I'm so insane I guess."

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

"I'm not used to feeling like I belong where I am."

"A lot of my peer group think I'm an eccentric bisexual, like I may even have an ammonia-filled tentacle or something somewhere on my body. That's okay."

"I've become a picky little bitch. I've never bothered to plan projects before. I just used to throw the script across the room and say 'why do they keep sending me this horseshit?' And then I'd start rehearsels two weeks later."

[on his addiction to drugs]: "It's like I have a loaded gun in my mouth, and I like the taste of metal."

"It's a blanket statement to say, 'That guy's really sharp and amicable and nice,' because there's a little bit of a--hole in every nice guy, and there's a little bit of genius in every moron."

"I am putting together some ideas for two or three more things I want to do. Maybe a CD of just my kind of standards, which would be Supertramp and Steely Dan covers with an orchestra. I'm deep into old Genesis - I'm sorry, but these are songs that mean something to me. "Follow You Follow Me" is a song that's about something to me." (On his music)
