I want to change the world, and do something valuable and beautiful. I want people to remember me before I'm dead, and then more afterwards.

Life’s never a postcard of life, is it? It never feels like how you’d want it to look.

What should happen is a little voice in your head, like Jimmy Cricket in Pinocchio, will go 'But Russell, that bird, that's a creature like you, if you kill it it'll be all sad' and you go 'F***, alright. I won't kill it then.'

My life is just a series of embarrassing incidents strung together by telling people about those embarrassing incidents.

I think that there is an infinite creative force that generates all consciousness and all matter and we are all connected and if you align yourself with this infinite creative force then you can be positive and you can be beautiful, I don't think its a person or god, I don't believe in any particular doctrine or dogma, only that humanity is connected.
