    Heh, that weirdness/twitchiness always has come out in his performances, and before his resurgence I really just chalked it up to the drugs.

    However: It's actually him! I think I love it.

    I also wonder if that's sorta one of the reasons FOR the drugs, like so many unique personalities - that "I am not normal, I can not be normal. I will take drugs that help me forget that I am not normal." The way he talks about his past does seem to suggest he wanted to get away from himself.

    @Kivrin: I feel enough drug use will addle the brain a tad. Some people it makes denser or unable to remember things and other it makes a little kooky. #robertdowneyjr

    I think the 2 + 3=5 is akin to wherever you go, there you are. You know, You are the same no matter how famous or whatever. You are still you. #robertdowneyjr

    @badmutha: I took it as all these great things add up to where he is in life, with the gratitude, so if he fucks up and ruins one of them he is going to be lesser. He is at 5 because of 2 and 3 so if he loses 3 he will just have 2. #robertdowneyjr

    "I hit my stride later than most folks. A couple years ago, it really was a big old hip-hip-hooray and let's get somethin' shakin' here. Then pfffffff - it reorganized at this higher level…"

    Actually, this I get. I'm not sure what that says about me.

    But what is going on with the styling on the cover? Is the Bebbeh Esquie Editor jealous of teh hott, or something?
    'Cause that's just all kind of wrong. It looks like they squashed my beautiful RDJ in a Lucite trapezoidal box, in an attempt to maim. #robertdowneyjr

    @Elaken: I'm gonna pretend he was just doing another persona. Just for the sake of argument, like.

    (Also, I don't want to dwell on it *too* much, but there is a sort of more "RDJ-flippeth-the-bird" ... um ... emphasis in the midst of all the frippery which makes me think he got the joke and also found a way to make the shot's composition more ... interesting. If you will.) #robertdowneyjr

    Dude, every RDJ interview I've ever read is exactly like this. There was one in GQ a couple of years back that was almost identical except it was peppered with him yelling something like "Let's get pie" and jumping in his car and taking off. I think he works hard to cultivate the manic image.

    Also, this quirky, manic persona is kind of the hallmark of interviews in men's magazines, right? I remember the one from a year or two ago with Clooney where he had a ladder out and was climbing into the interviewer's attic looking for squirrels or something. #robertdowneyjr

    I am 42. RDJ is 44. Why can't I meet men around my age that are this cute?

    I have seriously given up being physically attracted to guys my age. The guys I meet are typically kinda bland. #robertdowneyjr

    I think he's a national treasure. His brain needs a reboot, though.

    He sounds like a spam message:

    "Paranoid anymore? Have a sense of contentment, because you know so much. Take the carrot in stride. If two plus three is five, it is an overwhelming sense of gratitude.

    @BeSarcastic: "Shall I tell you the joys of the Jetta station wagon, dude? It's low-profile. It's got it all. The instrumentation, while firmly rooted in the twenty-first century, could easily be mistaken for 1993. The steering wheel has nothing but the steering wheel."

    I LOVE the "review board." Whenever Mr. WM asks me if he can do something that I might find objectionable or ill-advised (ahem, blowing out a wall in order to "open up the space"), I will say "put it before the review board."

    RDJ - you fascinate me. I love this interview. #robertdowneyjr

    I have an irrationally strong feeling of love for this man. Hearing that he is so in love with his wife is both incredibly endearing and also, turns me into a jealous teenager. But then again, that's to be expected if 8 times 3 is 24 and 24 divided by 3 is 8. Do you get it? #robertdowneyjr
