Quotes
ADD QUOTES
- Russell: (on his plan to give up sex) There can't be any of that (sex and drugs) around. That's all got to go - until I'm in a position where I can say, 'Look I'm celibate, I'm a vegan. All I do is meditate, come out and do stand-up comedy and make films.'

- Russell: (declaring he would seduce Dame Helen Mirren when they film Shakespeare's The Tempest) I'm going to try and get off with her. It's the big time, if I can get Mirren. I am going to seduce that queen.
  Edit Share Hide
- Russell: (after receiving death threats for making disrespectful comments on various stars at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards) The VMAs were a lot of fun. Especially the death threats. If you are going to kill someone, don't give them advance notice, which gives you a chance to prepare. These Christian Republicans were watching me and thought, 'Well, this is no good, I shall do a death threat.
