Russell Brand

I don't mind having a reputation as a serious and spiritual person. I think that would be a nice reputation to have.

I'm into yoga, I meditate all the time, I'm vegetarian.

I don't know if this is the kind of retrospective analysis that people are fond of applying to their work or actions, but it feels like I knew I was going to be famous and I knew that an element of that would be traumatic, so that if I could make myself something big and otherworldly, it would be a kind of defence.
