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
When I was poor and I complained about inequality they said I was bitter. Now I'm rich and I complain about inequality they say I'm a hypocrite. I'm starting to think they just don't want to talk about inequality.
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
I thought I was promiscuous, but it turns out I was just thorough.
Russell Brand
People don't throw your bags out of windows because of lies they throw them out because of the truth.
Russell Brand
On respect for the Queen: When I lick a stamp I always do it with my eyes closed.
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
Democracy is a gleaming Excalibur - let's not use it just to mend the toaster.
Russell Brand
