In an interview with MTV.com, actor Robert Downey Jr. discusses, among other topics, attending the MTV Video Music Awards with Anthony Michael Hall and DAVID LEE ROTH. The following is an excerpt:
Q: Does having ridden such a personal and professional roller coaster color your perspective on this status you now have in Hollywood?
A: "My life lessons were that the battles have to be hard fought and hard won. I certainly wouldn't wish it on an enemy, but as it stands right now, I'm the actor you're most thankful for. All this stuff does mean something. I grew up in and around MTV. I remember going to the MTV Video Music Awards with Anthony Michael Hall and DAVID LEE ROTH, driving down Fifth Avenue in a convertible Studebaker. David was wearing white gloves and tails. I was like, 'Dude, is it ever going to get more modern than this?'."
