>> all right, that's enough. off you go. we'll be right back. get off. russell brand. who knows what might happen? this is "piers morgan tonight." good evening. our big story tonight. he was on top of the world as the star quarterback for the atlanta falcons. a record $130 million contract. millions more in endorsements. but it all came crashing down in 2007. when the police raided the house he owned and uncovered an illegal dog fighting rim ing ring. he spent 18 months in prison. he declared bankruptcy in 2008. and was released from prison the following year. now he's the starting quarterback for the philadelphia eagles. did he ever expect to make such a spectacular comeback? he tells the story of his long road to redemption in his book "finally free, an autobiography." michael vick joins me. welcome. >> thanks for having me. >> what does "finally free"

mean? >> the title speaks for itself. i think finally free. frame of mind, you know, free in the body, free in the soul. ready to take that step forward and, you know, leave the past in the past. something that -- i wanted to do a long time ago. from the time i picked up the pen and started writing the book. so now it's here. finally coming to true wish. >> what did you learn about yourself? when you finished the book and you covered this extraordinary story? what did you learn about michael vick? >> i learned i wasn't as forth right as i always wanted to be and thought i could be. being in prison, you have a lot of time to sit back and think about, you know, the thinks that you didn't do so right. and, you know, as -- knowing myself, i know i was supposed to do those things correctly, you

know, so i felt like i was a liar in a sense. i wanted to change it. but it was too late. i was in the dark in a prison cell with no opportunity to, you know, explain, you know, or even, you know, ask for forgiveness. >> what was the lowest moment for you, of the whole thing? >> i think the lowest moment was when i had to tell my son i was going to prison and i was going for two years. >> it came up on television. you were watching television with him. >> correct. >> and up flashes this news you may be going to prison for several years. and there's your young son. he screams out. like, what is this? how do you deal with this? >> he just broke down crying. it should bed me ed shocked me because i 't think he was able to understand the prison concept and what it meant. but i think he seen it so much and it became so repetitive that -- being a young kid, you

know, they're a lot smarter these days than we were. he picked up on it. he just knew it wasn't good. it wasn't, you know, pictures of me smiling and pictures of gratitude. it was pictures of me walking into a courthouse. then saying derogatory things at the moment. >> when you came to tell him what you had done, it's a hard thing for a father to do. >> it's tough. >> how did you explain it? >> well, the situation came about when his mom told me he had been getting teased by some of his friends at school. which is solely my fault. which is a situation that was out of my control. so i really didn't have to sit him down and explain. he came to me. and, you know, what can you tell

a kid that's, you know, 4 years old, 4 1/2 years old who, you know, don't understand exactly what dog fight mean. don't understand why his dad is going to jail. and, you know, really can't understand the explanation in detail. and how deep it was. and the only thing i could tell him was i was leaving. >> hard moment. >> tough moment. toughest moment of my life. tougher than any football game that i've lost. tougher than any sack that i've taken. any amount of money that i've lost. >> reading your story a few things sprung out at me. why you ended up where you did. you've got to understand some of your background, where you grew up in virginia. the kind of culture you grew up in. the streets you grow up in. it was a violent place. you say in the book there was one summer where you heard gunfire every single night. >> right. >> of that summer. i can't even imagine that kind

of existence. you know, i grew up in a leafy little village on the south coast of england it's a totally alien concept to me. tell me about what it is like to live in that kind of atmosphere. >> you know, it's a very forbidden place sometimes. it can seem that way, you know. you try to make the most out of it. at the present time, you don't see what's around you, you know. you living in the moment. and you really don't understand, you know, how detrimental it is, you know, to the environment. and, you know, hearing gunshots every night, seeing all forms of violence. you just think it's the norm and -- >> does it desensitize violence? to me, the concept of dog fighting, and we'll come to that, is horrific. but then i was never brought up in a situation where it seemed normal. >> yeah, it make it seem like, you know, violence isn't

something that everybody's against, you know, make it seem like it's right, you know, because it's so consistent. night in, night out, you know, day in and day out. so, you know, you start to believe that, you know, there's no consequences behind it. and that's unfortunate -- >> it's meaningless -- >> and it's unfortunate. >> you say, one day a friend and i stepped outside of the building. you go into detail of this. you said then you were scared to death of dogs you didn't know. you jumped on a mailbox to watch it. they would grab and they would fight. i remember two of them were fighting when a third smaller dog jumped on the back of one of the larger dogs to make it two on one. i didn't know what to think of it all. in a way it capture my attention but it also seemed mean, even cruel. the bottom line, though, is that

on that very day, my fascination with dog fighting began. i wish it had never happened. what you saw as an 8-year-old boy, although horrific, seemed exciting to you, did it? >> yeah, because, you know, i always had a passion for animals and i always had a dog. i kept a dog wherever i could keep it. i always snuck a dog somewhere. took care of it, you know, with my own money. however i could get it. but the day i seen a dog fight, something changed. i didn't know dogs would react in the way that they did. and, you know, i thought it may seem intriguing, you know, nobody ever said it was not the right thing to do or that it was wrong. and not making excuses for anybody because, you know, nobody has to tell you anything. you know, you only go off what you see.

at such a young age. and, you know, i just fell into that trap and started believing what i wanted to believe. and it was never a point in my life where somebody tried to correct me or said that this was wrg. as i grew up, i continued to think that, you know, it wasn't any consequences behind it or that i would never get in trouble for it. >> people will -- they'll read the book and they'll see you claiming you're a dog lover. and they'll say, how can you be a dog lover when you killed a lot of dogs because they were too weak to fight. >> yeah. >> when you enjoyed and made money from dogs fighting. how can you be both? how can you be a dog lover who enjoys doing that too? >> i know it may seem contradictory but, you know, that's just the person that i was. you know, on one hand i love dogs. on the other hand, you know, i

was in love with the competition behind it. and, you know, for some reason i couldn't really see, you know, the meaning behind it or why i was really doing it. what really fascinated me, you know, other than just being involved. and, you know, somebody would have told me that -- at a young age that you would go to prison for it, then i think i would have went in a different direction. because my whole life was predicated on me accomplishing my one dream and that's making it to the nfl. and if it was any, you know, obstacle that would stand in my way, i would, you know -- i would avoid it. and that was just the set of advice that i never, ever received. and i think if i would have, i would have -- you know, i would have used it correctly like i did in other situations. >> did nobody say to you, stay clear of this? no parent, no friend? >> nobody. nobody knew, you know. it took place in places where, you know, you would have never thought -- >> a dark secret -- >> the times night you would have never thought of, you know, unforbidden, unseen. it was an underground world, you know, that we lived in.

>> did you -- be honest here. when you were doing it, did you enjoy it? >> you know, i enjoyed the competition aspect of it. you know, as far as the cruelness and the grooming part of it and just being honest and being candid, no. you know, i wish it had been done a different way. but, you know, to be honest if i said i didn't then i would be lying. but that's just the person that i was. and that's what, you know, that's what i believed in. that's what i thought was, you know, satisfactory to me. >> let's take a short break, michael. want to come back and deal with the consequences of what you were doing with the dog fighting. in your case, turned out to be catastrophic. one of the great downfalls in sporting history. ♪

[ crowd booing ] the reaction to michael vick as he walked to court in 2007. he's back with me. you've been booed many times in sporting arenas. but to be booed in those circumstances must have been

pretty hurtful. >> right. it was tough. you know, you feel like you lose your fan base. you feel like you let a lot of people down. people who may have admired what you've done. and had a great deal of appreciation for your accomplishments. and you feel like you worked so hard to let so many people down. and for what? >> just before the war came crashing down on your life, you were the $130 million super star. everyone loved you. you were one of the most thrilling players in the history of the nfl, many said. >> right. >> again, be honest with me, what kind of person did that take you into? suddenly nothing. this incredible superstar life. did it make you somebody that now you don't really recognize? >> yeah, it did. growing up and being raised with

outstanding morals and values, you know, that was instilled in me from my mom, you know, and my dad, you know, i sort of became a person that i didn't really know. you know, i was always humble. always respectful. and i continued to stay that way. but at some point, a splash of arrogance i think overtook me. i can honestly say i let money change me. in a sense. you know, anytime that happens, that's a recipe for disaster. and it led me down a dark road. >> i mean, you say money changed you. i think it would change anybody, that kind of money. never mind somebody who's had literally nothing. to suddenly have $135 million attached to your name. >> at 24 years old, that was a lot. being 32 now and looking back, i just understand the magnitude of, you know, how my life chab changed so much. and, you know, i had all the right people around me, giving me the right advice.

it was just mike's world. i wanted to do it my way and my way only. and, you know, like i said, it's just a situation where you kind of lose sight of what's right and, you know, head down a dead end road. >> now, that day in 2007 when the police raided this house, they took 66 dogs away, and the dead bodies of 8 more. what did you think the moment you heard this has happened? >> i was on the golf course. you know, probably playing one of the best games in my life. i just immediately thought that everything was going to come crashing down. and, you know, five seconds later, started to think of how can i turn it around. what could i do? what could save and salvage the situation? but i knew that it was -- the investigation was going to be deeper and, you know, somebody

was going to try to figure out what was going on. so immediately i was just trying to find out what i could do to get myself out of it and try to turn that corner. >> you lied to the nfl bosses and you expressed bitter regret for that. they were decent people who deserved people. you've admitted that in the book. what about your family? did you lie to them? >> i lied to my mom. you know, she really didn't know what was going on. i think i heard just from people, word of mouth, i was engaged in illegal activity. but, you know, she couldn't put a finger on. and nobody else knew. >> what was the moment you told your mother the truth? >> i told her the truth the day i got arraigned. >> and that must have been another very difficult moment.

>> man, it was very difficult. >> how did she react? >> she was just upset, disappointed. i think my mom cried for, you know, four or five days, you know, straight. and everybody else around me who, you know, loved me and cared about me. because they just didn't think that it would go that far. they didn't think i would end up going to prison eventually. and, you know, dramatic change for everybody's life. >> there was a very poignant part of the book where you were on your way to prison with you then fiance i think it was. and you gomarried two weeks ago. congratulations. we'll come to the happy ending later. tell me about that. drive as you're heading toward s s incarceration. >> it's the longest drive ever. i don't care if it's 100 miles away or 2 miles away.

you know, you reflect on everything that you had. you know, everything that you won't have and what you're leaving. and, you know, you kind of wake yourself up and tell yourself that it's real. >> you cried. you were very emotional. >> i cried all the wayo the prison. i mean, all the way up till i -- till i got out the car. and, you know, walked up to the guards and put my hands in handcuffs. and even then, you know, i still you know felt like at some point this was just a dream and i was going -- i wake up, somebody was going to come and relieve me. >> when you got inside prison for someone like you, you're this hugely famous incredibly rich super star reduced to just the ranks of a number if a prison cell. as the days went on and reality

kicked in, it became hard, right, those first few weeks? >> harder. harder. the first day was tough. second day was tough. the third, fourth and fifth day when it start to settle in that you're not going home and you're talking to your family and, you know, they're feeling the same way that you feel. it's no form of jubilation, you know, it's all sadness, you know, from my sinister acts. there's no explanation for it. there's no way of consoling anybody. there's no way of consoling myself. and the only thing we could do is be strong and deal with it. but it's hard to be strong sometimes. you know, we're only human, you know, and -- >> the interesting thing about you, very polarizing figure, as you know. when i announced i was doing the interview on my twitter, it went crazy, good and bad. many people saying good, the guy

served his time, he deserves his redemption. you're playing better than you ever have. a lot other people say, i'll be honest with you, you know, don't have this guy on, he's a dog killer, he's a horrible human being. he's not reformed. you're on twitter. you probably have the same comments to deal with. what do you say to those who say the crime you did was just so awful, you shouldn't be allowed to play football anymore? >> i overlook it. that's the reason i wrote this book, you know, so people can have a general understanding of my life. the origin of, you know, dog fighting. what i went through. because some of them may be naive and not know. and i try not to dwell on people's thoughts and their perception because i know i

can't change what everybody thinks. >> do you blame them or do you understand it? >> i understand it. i don't blame them. you know, i do believe that everybody's entitled to a second chance. i'm pretty sure those same people are, you know, not saints and having gone through that life and done everything right. you know, so, you know, you can't be hypocritical in a sense. if that person is a person who, you know, has lived their life with no regrets and done everything right and very successful, than i understand. you know, but, you know, it's a lot of sinister acts going on in this world. and this was a situation that needed attention. that's why i'm working with the humane society. and there's a lot of other things that's going on that needs attention as well. so that may be the reason, you know, i went through what i went through. to help other people to not go through the situation i went throh. >> let's take another break. i want to come back and talk about the good stuff that came after all this terrible stuff. the redemption. the career back on track. back with your family. look at those toys. insurance must be expensive.

nah. [ dennis' voice ] i bet he's got an allstate agent. they can save you up to 30% more by bundling your policies. well his dog's stupid. [ dennis' voice ] poodles are one of the world's smartest breeds. are you in good hands?

whatever i would say to anybody who's out there who's currently fighting dogs, it's not the right thing to do. just read between the lines. understand that. you're going to have a pet, you're going to have an animal, you need to treat it with the utmost respect. you know, do something more productive with your life instead of taking animals and conducting a pointless activity. >> that's from michael vick's new pas sa for the humane society. i'm not going to overdo the credit for what i guess most people say is what -- the least you should be doing. what i'm interested in is how you felt when you came out of prison. obviously a great day for you to get back with your family. >> right. >> a great passage in the book when you're reunited with your daughter. hadn't seen for six months. before that, she just had seen through this screen. >> glass. >> what was that moment like for you? >> i was elated to get back home to my family more than anything.

when i was in prison, we struggled. my family, you know, had to suffer through hardships that we never thought that we would have to endure. and, you know, to be home, to have an opportunity to make change. seeing my kids. seeing my fiance at the time, you know, really gave me an opportunity, you know, to start dream and believe again and have faith in, you know, that small subtle thing, in seeing them that day, you know, gave me a sense of hope. >> when you saw your little girl and you're honest enough to admit that she sort of wasn't quite sure. >> yeah, she wasn't -- >> -- if this was daddy or not. that's an awful moment for any father. did you vow to yourself i'm never going to put my kids in this sort of position again? >> oh, yeah, before i even got home. i knew it was going to be that way. i could foresee it coming. you know, i said to myself that i would try to go each and every day. i knew it would be a struggle. and try to make the right decisions. every day.

and you know, it's not going to be easy. every day, it's going to be a challenge. you know, i understand we're always going to be a work in progress as human beings. but my goal was to not let my kids down. most importantly, not let my family and myself down. >> you got married two weeks ago. >> yes. >> to your fiance. long-suffering fianc as the book makes clear. she stood by you, right, despite it all. what do you feel you owe her? >> everything. you know, i feel like she's been there for me. she's raised both of my daughters. to the best of my ability. she's great with my son. she's a great confidant. my best friend. and, you know, always, you know, guided me whenever i'm off track. whenever i'm thinking irrational, you know, she help me to think rational. >> is it true the security alone for your wedding costs $300,000? >> that's false. >> huh? >> false.

who has a $300,000 wedding? >> security, delta force, what were you doing? >> no, that's absurd. >> how do you feel about your celebrity status, good and bad? the fact that you're not just seen as a footballer, you're a notorious celebrity? >> i'm so appreciative of my fans. you know, i'm appreciative of people who aren't my fans. people in general when i'm just out in the public who say, you know, my team is the new york giants but i still like you. you know, that means a lot to me. and it makes me want to be personable. it makings es me want to write the book so everybody can get a chance to know me. >> to you want to be liked again in the way you were before the dog fighting scandal? or is it more important to you to be understood better? >> i think it's more important to be understood. you know, some people are going to like you.

some people aren't. you know, just because of, you know, for certain reasons that -- that are unexplainable. and i want to try to understand. but i think it's iortant that i'm understood. and people understand in a sense why. >> you were banned from owning a dog for three years. and i worked out as i walked into the studio today that that expires now, this month. >> right. >> have you got a dog? >> no. >> you going to get one? >> maybe so. being honest, being candid. i still deal with my kids each and every day, you know, and for the last three years not being able to have a dog because of my acts. ani just don't think that's fa. you know. it may be something that's therapeutic for them. and i can't take that dream away from them. that's selfish on my behalf. you know, so, you know, got to find a way to make it right. and, you know, i put everything

in god's hands to make it right. >> what type of dog would you get? do you know? >> i mean, i would let them pick it out. certainly wouldn't be a pit bull. >> michael, it's been fascinating talking to you. it's an extraordinary read, the book. it's a great story of a man learning his lessons. i believe everyone's entitled to a second chance in life. i think that people who read the book will understand you better. and even by saying that, i'm going to get criticized by the people who don't think you deserve redemption. but i'm prepared to take that criticism. also, i'm delighted to say you helped me win 100 pounds off oprah winfrey. because we had a bet, as people know, about on twitter that i'd get to interview you before she

did. michael, thank you very much. you may want to stick around for this. i've got russell brand coming next. anything could happen.

is it more fun being the cleaner-cut, well-behaved russell? or was it honestly more fun being the ne'er-do-well? >> it was kind of crazy. i used to hang out with pimps and hookers and junkies and crooks.

but the reality of that life, you kn, you can snatch glistening pearls of amusement from it. but when it's your daily life, it's miserable. otherwise i would still do it. it's not a good way to live. there's no longevity in it. it's quite painful. >> that's my interview with russell brand last year. a lot's happened to him since then. a lot can happen tonight. he's always so dangerously inpru detectivable. he joins me for a prime-time exclusive interview. russell, welcome back. >> all right, mate. >> how the devil are you? >> do you know, i'm very, very happy today. i'm very happy to be on your show. i look different in that clip, huh? >> you do. you've got your beard back. you look more jesus like. don't know if you like that comparison. >> well, i mean, he was a pretty good guy. it's never going to be an insult. >> let me get one thing out of the way. because i know you don't want to talk about this. and i certainly don't want to make it anymore painful than it has to be. you got divorced at the weekend. when i spoke to you last time,

you were very happily married and you were talking as if this was going to be it. how do you feel now that you're officially a single man again? >> well, i think that the -- what happened to the weekend was just an administrative finality. so i don't think that makes very much difference. of course i still feel great feelings of compassion and warmth for katy. but, like, i'm very -- i'm very happy with my life. >> yeah, how is you life now? people write so much bill ge about you. i always think you were one of the guys who is a very misunderstood character. how is your life in reality at the moment? >> well, the limited amount of time i spent d in reality i quite enjoy. i try to only visit it temporarily as i believe it to be a construct. as for this bilge, piers morgan, you're one of the primary

architects of this citadel of nonsense. you contrive to build this cloud kingdom of lies and hall ba lieu with your brilliant understanding of the narrative that people like to receive. about sensationalism. and madness. my life is, now, a very sort of simple kind of life. i meditate a lot. i do a lot of yoga. i work really, really hard on my tv show for fx. i work hard on movies. i try and do nice things for other people every day. you have to work hard to do that because otherwise you just slip into narcissism. it's a pretty kind of -- i'm like a farmer that's product is a tv show instead of tomatoes. >> what do you think about fame and celebrity? the reason i ask you, when i first interviewed you for "gq" magazine you were just heading over the precipice of stardom. and you were quite sort of excited about it all. you seemed very unfazed. it was your moment, your time. has cynicism crept in a little bit? have you become, you know, a little less excited about the

whole nature of fame and celebrity? >> yes, i remember that interview very distinctly, piers. for me, it was something of a backism of baptism of fire. my first skirmish with one of the first journalists of popular culture. it was you who tricked me into doing a number for how many women i slept with. i was at that point infatuated with fame. thought it would solve all my inner problems. now having been famous for a while, i recognize there are benefits to it. but there are detrimental aspects to it as well. i don't think -- i think celebrity and fame and glamour, they're literally about artifice. they're literally pointless. there's no value to them. i mean, when you think sort of like the first people that term famous would have been applied to, it would have been, relatively modern sense, great figures like lord byron and oscar wilde or christ or krisher

in. figures of notoriety and greatness. now i heard a great analysis. once our heros were gods. the gods of greek tragedy. then they were the kings of shakespearean writing. and now we write just about anybody. just ordinary people that have nothing to ply. i don't want to condemn them because arc stock crease is just the celebrity celebration of people from where they're born. hereditary wealth is sort of greatness bestowed upon people for no bloody reason. one, celebrity is, in and of itself, pretty bloody pointless. >> anybody can be famous for doing almost anything. is there a way to close this down? is there something society should do to try to put a lid on this before we go completely mad? >> yes. we should focus on spiritual principles and focus on what's real. i think what we have to do is sort of say, well, there's going to be all this reality tv. there's going to be e! tv,

kardashian, mtv. underneath it all, we recognize it isn't working. it's not working for me as a par participant participant. it's not working for the young people brought up on a diet of saccharin-covered pink glittering nonsense. we know somewhere within us we're entitled to truth and reality. we don't have the religious language anymore. we have no relationship with mysticism. we have no narrative to relate us to the planet we live on. now we think this planet just exists to serve us. we're infatuated with our own individualism and our own entitlement. we're just very, very simple life forms living on a planet as its temporary custodons. >> this is magnificent stuff. i'm going to take a break. stay primed. i'm going to unleash you on the american presidential race. may god help them.

firstly, i'd like to say to

both of you, i salute your work. and i want -- hello. i'm having trouble concentrating for a number of reasons. four really obvious ones. this is like when i met tom cruise. i've seen all of your films. >> back with russell. the spiritualism of that clip there, russell. >> as you can see, that was a very profound zen piece of art that i was making there. with sara jay and angelina castro. >> we're going to come to your new show in a moment. i want to talk to you about politics. you said a couple of very interesting things about politics. you said i've never voted in my life. i'll never vote in my life. i don't agree with it. it's gestural politics. a pointless spectacle where we choose between two indistinguishable political parties.

you said that at the mtv movie awards. >> that's right. >> a lot of people would agree with that. a lot of people feel there's been such a blurring now that you really can't decide between the parties. what's the point point of it all? >> there isn't one, i don't think. i don't know much about politics, but my mate who is on my fx show with me, he explained to me that since obama has been in power, the line between rich and poor has exacerbated. people say whoever controls the supreme court makes a difference and this kind of welfare, health care bill. i'm not interested in these changes. i think we need a profound change to change our world. to save our world. so, you know, i'm massively disillusioned with the current biparty political sim. not only in america. >> are you an american resident yet?

>> no. there seems to be some administrative complications due to the nature of my conduct. >> is america refusing to accept you as one of its own? >> i love the american people, all of them, every single individual. i have nothing but love. but remember i keep getting into fracas. >> how is your temper? >> pretty good. for the first time in my life i spent more time meditating and doing yoga than i do having sex. that's only because i do a held of a lot of yoga. >> let's turn to your stand-up show. whats it about standup that you love? >> what this is, piers, this show that i'm doing on fx is an opportunity to look at the stories behind the news. when you read the story in a paper, you think whose agenda is

this serving and it's usually pretty funny. like the way they'll use, like, the nationality of a story's protagonist to take in a particular direction. the other day there was a story in the paper, italian doctor kicks son in face at epcot center and i thought that's more acceptable because he's an italian doctor. if it just said doctor, i think that's brutal. but when it's italian, mama mia, i think there are peculiar stereotypes. agenda served. the politically there's our business leaders are working in allegiance to keep the majority of people repressed, spell bound consumers and the media is an obvious participant in that because they have the same agenda as the after mentioned.

on my show i like having a laugh about that and try to include a spiritual component because i think the solutions to our problems are spiritual ones. that's why i was talking to the porn stars. angelina castro, once you go hispanic, don't panic. which is a terrible rhyme. >> let's just -- >> it doesn't make sense. once you go black, you don't go back, that makes sense. although i have gone black and gone back and forth. but once you go hispanic, don't panic, doesn't really make sense. because oh, no i've gone hispanic, don't panic. i wasn't panicking. >> where is the line with you and comedy? ricky gervais has been in an ongoing twitter war about where the line is drawn, anything that should be off limits.

what do you think? >> woody allen said no, didn't he? as long as it's funny, it's fine. i also think if something is funny, when we've our mates, all of us we laugh at anything. disgusting stuff. but when you're on the telly it seems there's different obligations. occasionally i hear something that hurts my feelings and i think it's pay back for times i said something that's mean. i don't like to say anything personally offensive. i try not to be mean. i suppose i try and think -- we've all got sexy jiminy cricket in our minds. >> i like the beard back. >> thank you for noticing. thank you for promoting my show.

>> if you wanted to change the way you think, ternd to "brand x" with russell brand every thursday at 11:00 p.m. on fx. >> that's enough. we'll be right back. get off. ♪
