More quotes by Russell Brand
Everyone has their own mantra.
Russell Brand
It would have been convenient to be gay. Just because of the grooming, the narcissism, stuff like that. But I have this kind of roaring heterosexuality. Traditional, uncomplicated heterosexuality, an almost cliched Robin Askwith thing.
Russell Brand
Surfing should be called foam-choking or sea stabbing.
Russell Brand
Honesty has always been an integral part of my operation, really.
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 do have a regard for the musicality of language that came from BBC sitcoms like 'Fawlty Towers.'
Russell Brand
No-one really feels self-confident deep down because it's an artificial idea. Really, people aren't that worried about what you're doing or what you're saying, so you can drift around the world relatively anonymously: you must not feel persecuted and examined. Liberate yourself from that idea that people are watching you.
Russell Brand
Consciousness exists beyond your head, between our heads, and it can manifest harmony.
Russell Brand
It was crushingly disappointing as a fan of The Simpsons to discover that it's just you in a room speaking into a microphone. I thought I was going to become friends with Homer Simpson, but unfortunately none of them are real.
Russell Brand
I've always had this impulse to be destructive.
Russell Brand
Some people were just getting on with their lives, chatting, being young. It simply wouldn't do.
Russell Brand
Even in name, he seems like a Victorian oddity. Igor, fetch 'the Crouch' from the catacombs, we're going to the graveyard.
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.
Russell Brand
There's no biological reason why a man shouldn't just try to have sex with every woman he meets - all of them get pregnant and your genetics are winning.
Russell Brand
I recognize that I have the ability to be selfish, but I also recognize that you can't be happy if you only care about yourself at the expense of other people.
Russell Brand
As a performer, I'm very, very confident in what I do.
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
What I might do is watch Mrs Doubtfire. Or Dead Poets Society or Good Will Hunting and I might be nice to people, mindful today how fragile we all are, how delicate we are, even when fizzing with divine madness that seems like it will never expire.
Russell Brand
Have you considered that the Bible, like all religious doctrine, may be allegorical and symbolic, to direct us toward one holy entity of love, as opposed to a simplistic litiginous text to direct the behavior of human beings?
Russell Brand
Say I feel all sad and self-indulgent, then get stung by a wasp, my misery feels quite abstract and I long just to be in spiritual pain once more - 'damn you tiny assassin, clad in yellow and black, how I crave my former innocence where melancholy was my only trial'.
Russell Brand
