More quotes by 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
Socialism isn't a dirty word it just means sharing. Really, it's just the bureaucratic arm of Christianity.
Russell Brand
I'm into yoga, I meditate all the time, I'm vegetarian.
Russell Brand
Drugs and alcohol are not my problem, reality is my problem, drugs and alcohol are my solution.
Russell Brand
Life is not a theme park, and if it is, the theme is death.
Russell Brand
I think what's actually happened is print media is becoming obsolete, and this is like the floundering corpse of a dying media. It is just twitching.
Russell Brand
I know that's the sort of thing people say and I really hate it when people say the sort of things people say. I always think, 'You don't mean that, you just think it sounds good.
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
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
I didn't cross the line, you drew it in after I traversed it.
Russell Brand
If you have no brothers and sisters it defines you for life even when you're thirty you refer to yourself as an only child.
Russell Brand
In England, we have such good manners that if someone says something impolite, the police will get involved.
Russell Brand
As a performer, I'm very, very confident in what I do.

Over the road there was a church: a modern gray building, which constantly played a recording of church bells. Strange it was. Why no proper bells? I never went in but I bet it was a robot church for androids, where the Bible was in binary and their Jesus had laser eyes and metal claws.
Russell Brand
Democracy is a gleaming Excalibur - let's not use it just to mend the toaster.
Russell Brand
I've always been a 'your parents have got to come up to the school' type of person. Even now, when I do something wrong - if I say something inappropriate on a live tv show, for example - I half expect to have to deliver a note to Barbara Brand: 'Please come up to Channel 4 head office, Russell's done something despicable.

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
It is 10 years since I used drugs or drank alcohol and my life has improved immeasurably. I have a job, a house, a cat, good friendships and generally a bright outlook.
Russell Brand
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
I thought I was promiscuous, but it turns out I was just thorough.
