The last thing on her mind is growing up

1. 

   "Addiction is a disease. (Except sex addiction. That just means you got caught and if you go to rehab all is forgiven.) So why is it okay for me to remind people of when Robert Downey Jr. used to get wasted? Because it’s a fucking joke. The joke isn’t laughing at the fact that he used to drink and do drugs; the joke is the elephant in the room. One of the biggest stars in the world―who publicly worked through life-threatening illness with determination, courage, and the love and help of others, rose to the top of his profession to be loved by all and honored at one of the most prestigious events in the social calendar in front of a world TV audience of over 200 million―is introduced by a sweaty British oik swigging beer and saying, “Remember when you got pissed up and went to jail, mate?” What’s the worst that could happen? He gets so annoyed that he gets drunk, jacks up on stage, and steals a car? No. The worst that happens is he gets a bit of audience sympathy and his PR gives me a dirty look. I wasn’t trying to upset the man. I honestly thought he’d laugh. I have a lot of respect for Robert and have nothing against him, but we have humor for a very good reason. It gets us through shit. If you can laugh about your own screwups and weaknesses you’re suddenly bulletproof."
