“The chaos of our lives suited me; I don't think I wanted it to end.”
“I don't want to end up
In a room all alone
Don't want to end up someone
That I don't even know.”
King's Highway
Lyrics, Into The Great Wide Open (1991)
“You think you know how this story is going to end, but you don't. Trust me, I was there. I know.”

Context: So now I'm praying for the end of time
To hurry up and arrive
Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you
I don't think that I can really survive.
I'll never break my promise or forget my vow
But God only knows what I can do right now.
I'm praying for the end of time
It's all that I can do
Praying for the end of time, so I can end my time with you!
“I don't like doing anything that makes you sweat if you don't come at the end of it.”
Russell Brand - On The Road (2007)
Context: Please don't make me a joke. End the interview with what I believe. I don't mind making jokes, but I don't want to look like one... I want to be an artist, an actress with integrity... If fame goes by, so long, I've had you, fame. If it goes by, I've always known it was fickle. So at least it's something I experienced, but that's not where I live.
