Russell Brand's Guide to Threesomes, Pissing Off Christians and Breaking Up Oasis - Rolling Stone Excerpt: ...But a lot of my heroes are like Morrissey, guys who soberly and gingerly retire to a room and roll their eyes at the TV set. But that's the exact opposite of what you became... Yeah, I know, that's extraordinary isn't it? The reason I love Morrissey is because he's the beautification of nerdy incompetence. "If I don't leave my room what will people say? What will they think of me?" Morrissey became the apotheosis of that, bursting out of that bedroom a hero. ... Was there a moment in your career where you just said, "Fuck it, I'm going to go with this over-the-top persona''? To be honest, we have to return to the Morrissey point of earlier. There's a message I'd like to convey to misfit kids everywhere: There comes a point where not fitting in and being odd and peculiar suddenly turns to your advantage. The whole burden of it is almost mythological, when you are saying, "Oh, I just want to be like everyone else, I just want everyone to like me, I just want to be normal." But then, in time, your curse becomes your blessing. To quote a movie: It's a matter of releasing the kraken! Don't conceal the kraken! It's your greatest weapon.

I think his carreer has had his top, it's going
down and take every little job what pays his bills.
His current project will be his last hope for
being in the spotlights for another few years,
or a return as talkshowhost or another silly
commercial tv show, a gameshow prolly
