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.

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

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.
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.

Image
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?

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?

Turns out it was mostly a lie. But, at least for a short while, it was a beautiful one.

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.

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
Image
Drugs and alcohol are not my problem, reality is my problem, drugs and alcohol are my solution.
Russell Brand
Image
Consciousness exists beyond your head, between our heads, and it can manifest harmony.
Russell Brand
Image
All we can do is adapt the way we view this condition, not as a crime or a romantic affectation but as a disease that will kill. We need to review the way society treats addicts, not as criminals but as sick people in need of care.
Russell Brand
Image
Murderers! Stop murdering. Everyone will die eventually. Just sit down and be patient.
Russell Brand
Image
It seems to me that actual democracy is where all of us get to participate and it's not just a sort of a blunt little dry hump in a ballot box, but an actual penetrative process.
Russell Brand
Image
As a person I'm a little more doubtful, introspective and analytical.
Russell Brand
Image
Normally, I'm good at first dates, 'cause that's the only date I ever have, so I know how to control it and be confident.
Russell Brand
Image
How we treat the vulnerable is how we define ourselves as a species.
Russell Brand
Image
In England, we have such good manners that if someone says something impolite, the police will get involved.

The one measure of true love is: you can insult the other. --Slavoj Zizek

... And drinking neat liquor from the bottle, with all my long hair and my shirt undone and my beads, not so much the lizard king, more a gecko duchess, I fitted in nicely with their idea of what a creative person should be.
