Russell Brand Hilarious Interview on HPL - 30 Minute Non-Stop!
Published on Jun 18, 2013 by GrandmasCartoons
Comedian & actor Russell Brand sits down with Josh to talk about his first ever world stand-up tour, 'The Messiah Complex,' as well as his thoughts on social & religious issues, marriage and acting. And sex. Obviously.
"Why is it called Messiah Complex? Well, really because it's a nice linguistic pun. Messiah Complex is a disorder where people think that they are The Messiah but what I'm talking about in this show is messianic figures or figures that have qualities and attributes that can advance humanity. I talk about Malcolm X, Che Guevara, Gandhi and Jesus Christ.
Those four figures have been posthumously re-designated in their meanings. What do icons mean? What did people represent in their lifetimes? How do we use meaning? What is the function of icons and heroes?"
"I feel very optimistic about humanity. Things are changing; things are going in a positive direction. People are evolving and becoming more and more enlightened. This is a wonderful time to be alive.
I feel very, very positive."
