"The Judge" movie actor Robert Downey Jr. and his wife Susan are not only partners in life but also in business, as they share in an interview their life stories and how things went well for them.
In an interview with the The Hollywood Reporter, the couple who are expecting a girl, also talked about why they started their own production company.

"Susan holds one pillar and I hold the other, and this creative arc of tension just flows between us," Robert told THR.
Susan being unfamiliar with any substance and even has not experienced cigarette, opposite of Downey who was known to fave addiction problem, is said to insist that she would marry the "Iron Man" actor only if he could get away from the drugs completely.
"Addiction was so foreign to me. I was incredibly ignorant of the hold it had on people," she related.
The "The Judge" movie actor Robert responed: "Thank God for that. If she knew the depths of my depravity, we would not be sitting here."
Robert acknowledged the fact that his wife is really a factor for his transition -- she changed him and in the best way for him.
"She is the font of all good things. Before I met Susan, I didn't even know what producers did, except yell at you when you did something they didn't like. Now that I understand what they do, she's the only one I want," said Robert.
How about Robert changing Susan?
The 40-year-old producer admitted that Robert had helped in opening some aspects of her life that she had not yet giving so much attention. She said she "was very focused, driven, rigid, work-oriented."
Susan added: "I didn't care about having a family or making a home. I didn't think about kids. It's not that I didn't want those things, I just didn't think about them. And then I had someone who came in as a tornado, this creative, beautiful ball of insane energy and passion. And it completely opened me up."
