The most terrifying thing in the world was having to give a speech at my girlfriend’s wedding. I was physically shaking and sweating the entire time.
The film industry is driven by male narrative. Heads of studios are often men, teeming with male executives everywhere you look, and so the narratives we have the screenwriters usually for male leads. Women tend to be second string: the girlfriend of, the secretary who becomes.
My girlfriend has been the ice.
I was playing surf music with my band when a girlfriend of mine who had come from Los Angeles took me to a James Brown concert. That show really changed my whole outlook and thought processes, especially about music and different cultures.
I love my girlfriend to bits. I’d never do anything to hurt her.
You see these casting directors’ lists of characters, and they’re all boxed in. Twenties is the hot girlfriend, thirties you can still be hot but moving swiftly to hot mum. Forties, you’re the legal person in a pantsuit. Then, once you reach your fifties, you’re positively elderly.
I just like really simple things. If I had been on tour for a while and I got to come back and take my girlfriend Eleanor on a date, we would go to the cinema and then out for dinner.
If I’m having a really bad day, I always have a girlfriend – or even a guy friend – who I can call. They’ll listen to me wallow for a minute and then be like, ‘Okay, let’s stop. Everything’s great. Let’s figure out how to fix whatever’s bothering you.’
Appearance is something you should definitely consider when you’re going out. Have your girlfriend clip your nails or something like that.
Sometimes it’s nice when you go out on the road, and you come back, and your girlfriend’s left you. You have complete freedom at that point.
I just like to sit and admire my garden; it’s so well kept by my gardener and my girlfriend.
My career is my girlfriend.
Underwear is such a great gift, but try to go for brands that flatter your girlfriend’s shape – a little structure can be great.
I may not have seen my girlfriend for two or three months, but then we can spend two or three months together solidly. It’s swings and roundabouts.
‘The Girlfriend Experience’ was definitely the break-out. When it came out, I started getting other opportunities.
As an actor, you audition a lot for ‘the girlfriend’ or the ‘hot girl.’
When my girlfriend and I talk about being happy, I’ll get choked up, which I think is the greatest gift you can give a girlfriend.
My idea of hell is a girlfriend ringing up and saying, ‘Let’s go shopping and have cocktails.’ I’d rather play cards.
People were always like, ‘Oh my God, you’re going to be working with your girlfriend? Are you freaking out? Is that going to, like, destroy your relationship?’ I think it emboldened the relationship.
I don’t think that we really know our animals. We think we do because we’re humans, and we think we can control things like that. We don’t know anybody that we love. It could be a girlfriend or a cat. I think we just have to be at peace with that.
In high school, I came out to my friends as queer. My entire world opened up; this was a monumental step toward unveiling my truest self. I had my first girlfriend when I was sixteen years old.
Quite often in comic book movies, very good actresses are relegated to being the girlfriend or the helper or the sidekick or something.
I’m hard work to live with. Someone who wants to be my girlfriend has to be totally devoted because I don’t give very much back.
I have a boxer and I’m getting another boxer. I have a girlfriend, Gabby Granado, who lives with me as well.
Love is not just about love for your girlfriend, boyfriend, husband, or wife. Love, for me, is the love for my work, family, and even friends. The emotion is very strong. It comes with a lot of responsibilities.
My girlfriend and I rented a nice house on the river and I was there for about two and a half months, and we were just out of Alabama. I hardly got to see Alabama.
For a long time I had a vintage stall, where I sold men’s vintage clothing, and my girlfriend was convinced it was just to do with a problem I had where I just couldn’t stop buying senseless clothes, even if they didn’t fit me.
I don’t think there is just one Louis Vuitton woman. That is why, for the fall/winter 2011 show, I loved the idea of lots of different characters – a wife, a mistress, a girlfriend – stepping out of the row of hotel elevators.
I have never turned to my girlfriend and said, ‘Oh, okay, babe,’ and I see it in scripts all the time.
Music is my wife, and acting is my girlfriend.
After I perform ‘My Girlfriend’s Boyfriend,’ it takes a lot out of me emotionally; and, at the end of it, I feel like I know the audience and the audience knows me. It’s this weird unspoken bond that we’ll kind of always have with each other.
It’s like, boom! – I’ve got a girlfriend. It turned out to be a good thing because it made me a rapper.
When I moved to New York, I was dead broke and lost my mind, and my girlfriend dumped me and was with some banker making money. I wandered by Jane Curtin’s house, and she’s like, ‘Come in here, dear. I’ll make you lunch. Tell me, what’s going on in your life?’
My girlfriend says I have frontal-lobe epilepsy. I have visions. They have slowed down as I’ve gotten older, but I still have them.
Manchester is obviously is a huge footballing city with Manchester City and Manchester United there – and I really like this accent because my agent is also from Manchester and my girlfriend’s family is from Manchester.
Sorry, I love the internet. Since I got my cats, I don’t look at clips so much. Like a teenage boy with a real live girlfriend. But I am always sucked into clips of unlikely animal friendships.
Getting plenty of sleep is always great. It really is. I have a girlfriend who’s sending me a slant board.
There is a general impression that if a man has a sexy wife or girlfriend, he won’t stray. Men don’t need a reason to stray – they do it anyway.
I remember my girlfriend dropped me for the guy I thought was really cute.
London is like a girlfriend I loved, then really fell out with.
Whether you’re throwing up or breaking up, you want your girlfriend right there! I don’t trust women who don’t go to their girlfriends.
You know he’s invested when he doesn’t treat his ‘friend time’ and ‘girlfriend time’ as mutually exclusive.
I don’t want a girlfriend because that means I’ve got a responsibility. I have a responsibility to call you. I have a responsibility not to be with another woman. I have a responsibility to be there on time when you need me.
I’ve always considered Florence as my girlfriend. I don’t have to explain my love for this city.
I was uncontrollable. I didn’t like school. I was younger than everyone in my class by two years. I had few friends. I never had a girlfriend. I was kind of a grandmother’s boy.
I thought that I was going to be Mrs. Michael Jackson, but I was ready at 20 and 21 to get married, and he was not even close to getting married or having a girlfriend at that time, but yes, we dated. We dated for a while.
As a little kid I had a girlfriend, and her boyfriend used to beat me up, so then I used to sing these songs, and that’s what it’s all about. Country music is all about your heart and your people and things like that.
We are constantly protecting the male ego, and it’s a disservice to men. If a man has any sensitivity or intelligence, he wants to get the straight scoop from his girlfriend.
With the media how it is these days, people expect to know everything. I don’t talk about my girlfriend because essentially she doesn’t want to be talked about.
I’ve always felt a bit of an outsider. It used to worry me that, in terms of TV, I did not look like ‘the girlfriend’ or ‘the daughter’. That pushed me to write my own stuff, as I thought no one else was going to write me a lead in the sitcom.
I think there’s something about supernatural shows that people see and just want to put me in them! I don’t know. I just finished another show – ‘The Nine Lives of Chloe King,’ with Skyler Samuels, who was my girlfriend in ‘The Gates’ – and I play another supernatural character on that show.
You only lie to two people in your life, your girlfriend and the police.
The truth is, there are so few female roles in movies. That’s really limiting. As an actor, you wanna be able to sink your teeth into something. You don’t want to just be the best friend. You don’t want to just be the girlfriend.
I’m not great with money. I’d go crazy if I were left to my own devices. My mum and girlfriend sort it out. I’m not driven by it, but I love to be generous.
Falling in love in high school and falling out of love – it’s very digital. I’ve had breakups where they’ve called me to tell me we were done, and I’ve gotten a lot of text messages from an old girlfriend letting me know how she felt about me after we had ended everything.
My main motivation for staying in the spotlight at all is, I don’t want to just be known for being involved in ‘Playboy,’ or having been Hugh Hefner’s girlfriend – I hate that. I like to show I can do other things and take on other challenges. That’s my main motivation.
So many girls and guys want to find a girlfriend and settle down. But it’s fun to be single.
