I <3 Robert Downey, Jr.
"I don’t think I will never go that fast again, but that is based on my behavior moment to moment, whether I’m able to maintain this nice groove I’m on or whether it will all go away in a second for something that I could justify or rationalize that was none of my own doing." - Robert Downey Jr. in the NY Times
I mean, WHAT?
I am at the point now where I want to read every single interview with him that I can get my hands on - because rarely do I ever come across such hyper-florid, $64,000 words and such tangled, but beautiful and logical clauses in spoken language. I'd suspect that the interviewers were editing him to make him seem more like a total nutjob, but Downey's consistent across multiple interviews in multiple platforms.
The man is a cracked genius.
I wonder if he writes? If he does, I can see it being kind of like Nabokov, kind of like James Joyce on a whiskey rant, kind of like a really hysterically funny Louis Farrakhan sermon. I can't figure him out and yet I understand, somehow.
IRON MAN is going to be awesome. Opening night, anyone?
This interview on Comic Book Resources is also pure 24-karat crackpot awesomeness. I know it's bad to say so, but he must have been the funnest person to get wasted with. I'm glad he's not doing that shit anymore though because it was killing him, and jail is NOT a good place to be.
Also, happy April 20th. I ended up at the Drink 'n' Draw last night after all, but I was so tired I couldn't really draw and went home after an hour. After the Too Much Coffee Man opera and the 70s party at the House of Prids, I'm really pretty wiped out. I'm sad that I couldn't draw, though... I used to be able to just make something up, and now I can't. That's sad. I'll have to work on that.
