I think many of the boundaries that convention has placed upon us are arbitrary, so we can fiddle with them if we fancy. Gravity's hard to dispute, and breathing, but a lot of things we instinctively obey are a lot of old tosh.

More quotes by Russell Brand
For me happiness occurs arbitrarily: a moment of eye contact on a bus, where all at once you fall in love or a frozen second in a park where it's enough that there are trees in the world.
Russell Brand
On respect for the Queen: When I lick a stamp I always do it with my eyes closed.
Russell Brand
To this day, I feel a fierce warmth for women that have the same disregard for the social conventions of sexual protocol as I do. I love it when I meet a woman and her sexuality is dancing across her face, so it's apparent that all we need to do is nod and find a cupboard.
Russell Brand
I'm buying things for people I don't even know. I'm like Willy Wonka, but more manipulative. Imagine if Willy Wonka had a devious goal.
Russell Brand
Fear travels fast. Love travels a little more slowly. Rationale takes a little more consideration.
Russell Brand
What I liked about it is in the world of children, there are very, very different rules and a kind of naivete and innocence and sweetness that's been beautifully captured, I think, by this film as you can even see gesturing toward the film's poster on display nearby from this gorgeous artwork.
Russell Brand
Don't listen to me. I'm a maniac, but the voice in your head, ask it Is it right to kill 200 million animals simply for fun?. What did it say? Right. There you go.
Russell Brand
I don't get my authority from this preexisting paradigm which is quite narrow and only serves a few people. I look elsewhere for alternatives that might be of service to humanity.
Russell Brand
I'll not be changing, but America will.
Russell Brand
People have always said, are you gay? I've had a lot of that. But it's just not in me. I really like women a lot I'm repulsed by men sexually.
Russell Brand
It is difficult to feel sympathy for these people. It is difficult to regard some bawdy drunk and see them as sick and powerless. It is difficult to suffer the selfishness of a drug addict who will lie to you and steal from you and forgive them and offer them help. Can there be any other disease that renders its victims so unappealing?
Russell Brand
The greatest poverty one can have is to be poor in one's heart and for falling in love, he is truly happy. He discovers purpose.
Russell Brand
I've always had this impulse to be destructive.
Russell Brand
The only Revolution that can really change the world is the one in your own consciousness, and mine has already begun.
Russell Brand
Today's 'Sesame Street' will NOT be brought to you by the number 34 or the letter D.
Russell Brand
Total revolution of consciousness and our entire social, political and economic system is what interests me, but that's not on the ballot.
Russell Brand
What was alien was being ordinary, being humdrum, being trapped into appeasing...having to crush and stifle my opinions, not being allowed to be brilliant, tricking myself into mediocrity.
Russell Brand
People don't throw your bags out of windows because of lies they throw them out because of the truth.
Russell Brand
This is no time for drinking a mug of water - which you would do nowhere else in the world. A mug of water! You just don't drink water from mugs, do ya? Except on the telly. Water out of a mug! Should be a hot drink... mug of water.

I'm into yoga, I meditate all the time, I'm vegetarian.
