Consciousness exists beyond your head, between our heads, and it can manifest harmony.
Russell Brand

As long as we prioritize material truths over spiritual truths we will live in tyranny because we are living an illusion
Russell Brand

And I don't think we should be continuing to propagate the idea that famous people are magical or special because it makes people feel like their lives ain't no good.

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?

Drugs and alcohol are not my problem, reality is my problem, drugs and alcohol are my solution.

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.

It's no wonder Bob Geldof knows so much about famine - he's been dining out on I Don't Like Mondays for 30 years.

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.

Amy Winehouse - her surname's beginning to sound like a description of her liver.

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?

Be led by your talent, not by your self-loathing those other things you just have to manage.

If love is something you cherish, it is hard to glean much joy from death, even in one's enemies.

We continue to be spilled on by consumerism even though we know it doesn't make us happy.
Russell Brand
Image
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.

The way I've been with drink and drugs suggests I have a tendency to get addicted to things.

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.

Even as a junkie I stayed true [to vegetarianism] - 'I shall have heroin, but I shan't have a hamburger.' What a sexy little paradox.
