Sometimes when we're incensed by the rancid tide of injustice, the impulse is to attack. We must avoid this. We have learned that violence as a means is always unsuccessful.
Russell BrandOf all the consumer products, chewing gum is perhaps the most ridiculous: it literally has no nourishment โ you just chew it to give yourself something to do with your stupid idiot Western mouth. Half the world is starving, and the otherโs going, โI donโt actually need any nutrition, but it would be good to masticate, just to keep my mind off things.
Russell BrandIt 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?
Russell BrandI struggle in these situations not to let my madness govern me, and to let the positive aspects of my character define my life.
Russell BrandWhat I liked about it is in the world of children, there are very, very different rules and a kind of naivete and innocence and sweetness that's been beautifully captured, I think, by this film as you can even see gesturing toward the film's poster on display nearby from this gorgeous artwork.
