The best thing you can do is fall in love. My life has been changed by falling in love.

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.'

I am too busy thinking about killing myself.

When I was growing up, I thought I'd be a lot happier if I was famous and successful and if I had money.

I struggle in these situations not to let my madness govern me, and to let the positive aspects of my character define my life.

I suppose I'm qualified to some degree to speak about the nature of contemporary media, as that's where I currently work. People, I think have been beyond trained - coded to not anticipate change; to think that change is implausible. Almost weaned off. It had to be a revolution bred out of us.

It seems to me that actual democracy is where all of us get to participate and it's not just a sort of a blunt little dry hump in a ballot box, but an actual penetrative process.
