I am too busy thinking about killing myself.

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.

The mentality and behavior of drug addicts and alcoholics is wholly irrational until you understand that they are completely powerless over their addiction and unless they have structured help they have no hope.

As a performer, I'm very, very confident in what I do.

Tumbling into a dark, Lewis Carroll labyrinth of filth, pursuing a white rabbit of smut!

I'm not better than you; I'm just different than you in a way that's better.

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.
