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.

More quotes by Russell Brand
How we treat the vulnerable is how we define ourselves as a species.
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
Democracy is a gleaming Excalibur - let's not use it just to mend the toaster.
Russell Brand
Everyone has their own mantra.
Russell Brand
I didn't cross the line, you drew it in after I traversed it.
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
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
Even in name, he seems like a Victorian oddity. Igor, fetch 'the Crouch' from the catacombs, we're going to the graveyard.
Russell Brand
No one shuts their laptop after looking at pornography and says, 'What a productive time I just spent connecting with the world!'
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
You shouldn't eat animals, it's mean to them.
Russell Brand
I thought I was promiscuous, but it turns out I was just thorough.
Russell Brand
As a producer, you've got to be involved in helping out with solving problems.
Russell Brand
What was so painful about Amy’s death is that I know that there is something I could have done. I could have passed on to her the solution that was freely given to me. Don’t pick up a drink or drug, one day at a time. It sounds so simple it actually is simple but it isn’t easy it requires incredible support and fastidious structuring.
Russell Brand
If your body is 90% water what have you got to drink water all the time for? Why can't you just have some crisps?
Russell Brand
People don't throw your bags out of windows because of lies they throw them out because of the truth.
Russell Brand
Honesty has always been an integral part of my operation, really.
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
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
The only systems we can afford to employ are those that rationally serve the planet first, then all humanity. Not out of some woolly, bullshit tree-hugging piffle but because we live on it, currently without alternatives.
Russell Brand
