[On fame and finding inner happiness] When I was growing up, I thought I’d be a lot happier if I was famous and successful and if I had money. And I think that’s because we live in a culture that celebrates fame and commerce and consumerism and money, so that if you don’t have those things, you feel like you’re not enough. And I think we live in a culture that makes me, “Oh, I’m a little bit too fat or I’m too thin, or I’m not right and I don’t fit in.” And I think that increasingly I’ve realised is I’ve tried to change and I’ve tried to adapt and amend and pursue these ambitions that ultimately - everybody has beauty within themselves, and if you find this and accept this, then you will be happy regardless of external attributes or material things.

— Russell Brand

    I feel like this quote would have way more meaning if Russell Brand didn’t actually grow up to be rich and famous.
