Check out two Downey quotes:
I have a really interesting political point of view, and it’s not always something I say too loud at dinner tables here, but you can’t go from a $2,000-a-night suite at La Mirage to a penitentiary and really understand it and come out a liberal. You can’t. I wouldn’t wish that experience on anyone else, but it was very, very, very educational for me and has informed my proclivities and politics every since. [Downey in [i]The New York Times[/i] in 2008, on why some of his political opinions now lean more conservative than they used to]
Tofu is the root of all evil, and there’s only one thing that can change a man’s mind, and that’s a modified Uzi with an extra-long clip.
I knew there was a good reason I’ve always liked the guy.
Interesting. He appears to be much more intelligent and complicated than the average actor.
