Rolling Stone: "Downey’s ... meta-mega conceptual answers to basic questions ... make him hard to interview in any conventional, structured way. ... Downey has the kind of mind whose doors of perception are always unlatched, open to all sorts of farfetched possibilities. He’s fascinated by the fringes of science and conspiracy – whether there exists a language of birds, for instance. Or what the military’s really been up to at Long Island’s Brookhaven National Laboratory, where, Downey says, researchers have been conducting secret experiments to provide 'supersoldiers' with an apparatus capable of generating 'three levels' of cloaking: 'Hidden,' 'Invisible' and 'Gone.' Does Downey really believe such out-there stuff or is it, in his words, a fanciful 'hydroponic sonic' amusement? That’s unclear and probably irrelevant. He’s a mental omnivore. He’ll eat almost anything, ideawise, or he’ll at least chew on it."
