A Quote by Robert Downey, Jr.

If you’re reading these words, perhaps it’s because something has kicked open the door for you, and you’re ready to embrace change.

I never had the idea of moving to Paris and becoming something. I liked the idea of living in Paris because it seemed to have so many parts of life I really enjoyed.

I had a dream in my head that if you wanted to be the most urbane, living-life-to-the-fullest kind of person, Paris was the place to be.
