It’s a truly grounding experience when you realize more than what someone means to you, but when you realize how much you mean to someone else and how much they need you as well. That’s really an awe-inspiring situation.

I don’t think you’ve experienced love for any person until you’ve looked at them doing something so ordinary and you have to excuse yourself to cry. because you love them so much that it’ll kill you if you ever lose them.
If I care about you…I just really need you to not leave my life. Please.
I’m happy.
Yes, there are moments of uncomfortableness, shades of anxiety, and ounces of sadness, but for the first time in years, I feel happy.
It’s weird.
It’s great.
First time I’ll ever say it, I kind of miss Boston. I miss some people. I miss the intellectual conversations I can have at any given time with anyone. I miss sitting in class with my teacher whose rapid-fire brain would send me on a quest to find his point and then he’d relate it back sooner than I could.
Home’s great. Family’s life. Friends are the best. But there’s something missing here.
I can’t project how much I love film to anyone here. I mean I could, but they can only sit back and listen to me banter about it for as long as they’re willing. They can’t give me their experiences or advice. I had such a great semester going where I interacted with so many people that could do just that…it’s sad to let that go.
I want somebody I can talk to about life and dreams and silly things all the damn time.
I’m trying to find a summer job. Did training for Macy’s and I’m quitting. I don’t see how anybody could be happy doing anything related to that or sitting behind a desk. I would be absolutely miserable. I’m so glad that I have an artistic calling. It’s my favorite thing about myself. So. Glad.

No, Robert isn’t Tony Stark
“On the way here there was this big street poster for Iron Man 3 and I was looking at it. And it’s so odd to me because I still don’t directly identify with it.” ~ Robert Downey, jr.

I’ve gone on record here on this blog, and taken a lot (a lot, a lot, a lot) of crap for it, before, arguing against all the posts I see that scream and yell that Robert is Tony. That people can’t tell him apart.
Finally a definitive comparison surfaces. Take a look. Pic on the left is of Robert promoting, playing up the character and basically channeling Tony. Pic on the right is from the Sam Jones (Off Camera) interview that hit today. The one on the right is Robert, complete and pure, Robert.
Watch it, If you still think he is Tony after seeing it, well then more power to you and your delusions. This interview is pure and unadulterated Robert. He is relaxed, honest and light years away from the character he plays.
This is hands down the most insightful, open and pure him that I have ever seen. We see snatches of it in some interviews but this is an hour long and you can tell, he speaking honestly, deeply and straight from his heart.

Finally. I feel this overwhelming need to defend who he actually is for the people that so lazily clump him together with Tony Stark. He puts off this self-centric, attention-seeking image and is totally hamming it up for the cameras, which is fine—I get a kick out of it, as we all do. But it causes the majority of the population to think that’s what he’s all about. Robert Downey Jr. is not Tony Stark.
This man, a high-school dropout, is probably one of the smartest people in Hollywood today. He uses words and metaphors in ways you never would think. He combats my destain for formal education and is a prime example that experience trumps all.
I love this man. He’s more than a “comeback star.” He’s the most eccentric and grounded person around, and that’s so rare.
As Sam Jones said, “Downey’s restless intelligence is reflected in his ability to express several contradictory points of view simultaneously, making sense all the while. He can be direct one moment and elusive the next, often spinning off on seemingly unrelated tangents. But like watching a juggler on a wire, being in Downey’s presence is a riveting experience […] On any multiple-choice personality test, Robert Downey Jr. is ‘all of the above.”
