Russell BrandWhat was so painful about Amyโs 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. Donโt pick up a drink or drug, one day at a time. It sounds so simple; it actually is simple but it isnโt easy; it requires incredible support and fastidious structuring.
Russell BrandI've come off heroin twice, and the worst part is laying in bed kicking and not being able to keep still. The physical withdrawal doesn't last that long, but then it's just all psychological. I think it's worse than cigarettes.

Down and down we go unto the sea, unto the dust, the single cellular dust. What impulse drove one cell to become two? What yearning pulled the fish on to the land? What caused apes to walk upright? Some invisible magnetic pull. Is there a difference between attraction and intention? Where is evolution taking us?
