Robert Downey Jr. knows he's a good actor -- that's not the issue. He just doesn't know if he wants to deprive the world of his skills so that he can take his wife out and lead a normal life. "I'm f--king really good at what I do, and have been for a long time, so I don't waver on that," he said (via E! Online).

But, on the other hand, he said he and his wife Susan want "to begin to be in our lives as much as they are in their jobs."

It's a tough call, and it's not exactly an original Hollywood dilemma, and we're sure there's no easy answer. Still, Robert knows there's an inevitable answer, though, even if it might be a ways away.

"I can only be a guy on a call sheet probably, I don't know, maybe a couple more times," he said. "It's something I'm so grateful to have in my palm, and yet I already see its inevitable decay."

Well, judging by the laundry list of flicks he's in coming up, including upcoming his upcoming Sherlock Holmes movie, we're guessing that "decay" will hold off a while. Besides, Iron Man 2 comes out this summer, and there's gotta be at least 8 more where that came from.
