Before ‘Scandal,’ I was actually cast in two other pilots. Both went to series, but I was fired and recast. For both, it was because they wanted me to sound more ‘girlfriend,’ more like ‘hood,’ more ‘urban.’
I literally asked Giovanna to be my girlfriend the day I met her when she walked into assembly when we were 13, literally straight away.
Did any agents ever put Diane Ladd up for some of the great parts, even though she always got great reviews? No! But do they put up the girlfriend of the studio executive who’s gonna do them a favor later? You betcha.
I have noticed that when a girl or guy falls in love, and they call their girlfriend or boyfriend with cute names, then ‘Honey Bunny’ is one of the most famous ones, so we picked that up and created a song.
I don’t want everyone to know when I go out with my son or my girlfriend for lunch or dinner.
I’ve always been very clear: I never want to be known just as somebody’s girlfriend.
One of the things I loved about working on ‘Portal’ was that we’d get emails from people saying, ‘I love to play first-person shooters but my girlfriend won’t play them with me. But I got her to play ‘Portal’ and she had a blast.’
I don’t regret my time there at all. I wasn’t the main girlfriend in the relationship. Hef and Holly were the ones talking about possible marriage and having kids, and I knew I was never going to do that kind of thing with Hef.
Bubble life hasn’t been bad at all. It’s different for everybody depending on their personal lives, but I don’t have a girlfriend or a wife or kids. Talking with the guys that do, it’s a little harder for them, a little less attractive.
Cyn’s actually met my son and I’m the youngest of eight girls, so naturally he has to deal with a lot of women in his life. I haven’t really sat down with him to kind of say this is mommy’s girlfriend because we haven’t taken that step on full on commitment.
I think that’s important to women in comedy, that we get a lot of the good lines and you’re not just the girlfriend or the sister.

I’d done a bachelor’s degree, which I’d enjoyed, but I didn’t know what to do with my life at the time. I was conflicted, and, being a hopeless romantic, I followed my girlfriend at the time to Vanderbilt, where, obviously, we broke up a couple of months later.
The negative about acting is that you have to spend a great deal of time away from your friends and loved ones, but it’s not like working a 9-5 job and only having two or three weeks off a year. I may not have seen my girlfriend for two or three months, but then we can spend two or three months together solidly.
Most of all, I want to be known as Barbi Benton, the singer, not as Hugh Hefner’s girlfriend.
There was a long time where I was an ‘artist’ in quotes, who had no money. But I guess back then I also never had a girlfriend.

I think it’s less common in France that a man at the age of 50 buys a Porsche and gets a young girlfriend.
I see myself being married to my girlfriend and backpacking all over the world. If I can go out and do a 15-mile hike and climb a 12,000-ft. peak, I’m good to go.
I’m not good at baking. My girlfriend bakes phenomenally, though.
Doing Saturday Night Live definitely affects my relationship with my girlfriend and with my family, because you feel so much pressure to do well that night. But I think everyone’s grown to accept that and so they give me my space at the show.
I have generally never committed to things in my life but I am very committed to this relationship. Soha is one of my best friends and sometimes I treat her like a friend more than a girlfriend.
If you have a girlfriend who is a fellow divorcee, you share a lot of common ground because you’ve been through the same things.
Sometimes female characters start out as the wife or girlfriend, but then I realize, ‘No, she’s the book,’ and she becomes a main character. I surrender the book to her.
I learned hard lessons in life; I had to because I had so much happen: My mother died my sophomore year in high school. The next year, same day, my brother dropped dead. Two years after that, I got married because my girlfriend got pregnant. The year after my wedding, my father – who I had only recently met – died.
I have a girlfriend, but I don’t really want to talk about her. I won’t name her. She isn’t in show business, has nothing to do with it. So I’d rather just keep her out of it.
I had a very good relationship with Cristiano, his family and his girlfriend.
It seems a bit weird to call someone your girlfriend when you have a child.
In the fall of 1963, in Leningrad, in what was then the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the young poet Dmitry Bobyshev stole the young poet Joseph Brodsky’s girlfriend.
I spend a lot of time just, you know, with my girlfriend and my dog. And I mean, we don’t have a lot of furniture in our house, so it’s really simple. And we’re trying to build products for everyone in the world, right. And you don’t want to get isolated to do that.
He asked my girlfriend if we could come over and sing some of the songs that we had written, which we did. After he heard the songs, he said that he knew someone in the record business by the name of Bob Shad.
Everyone, whether you are married or have a boyfriend or girlfriend, there’s always someone who has a hold of your heart. You learn to let it go, but there’s always a place in your heart. For me, it was someone I went to college with and we had an amazing bond, but I left.
I write songs when I need to. That’s how I write songs: when there’s something that’s bugging me. If something’s troubling me, and I don’t really know how to articulate it to people directly – my friends, my family, or my girlfriend – then I’ll write a song about it because I know I can articulate it that way.
I had a girlfriend when I was about 13 but we didn’t stay together for very long and I’ve not really been out with many people since. I’ve still never had a serious girlfriend but I would happily go out with someone if the right girl came along.
I was in chemical engineering at Cornell University. My girlfriend at the time dared me to do a play. I knew there was something I wanted, not necessarily engineering.
There’s no better girlfriend than your own work, because when it goes away, you realise how important it is.
Elves, Eskimos and aliens are the type of girls I am attracted to. I’ve been going out with my current girlfriend for a year. She looks like a cross between an elf, an Eskimo and an alien, with a bowl haircut and little thin legs.
Standup really is a young man’s game, a single young man’s game. Even when I was younger, when I wasn’t single, it was hard to be on the road because you go through relationships because your girlfriend kinda got tired of you being gone.
I joined Norwich when I was 15 and moved away from a life living on an estate in Cardiff and everything I knew. I moved away from my girlfriend, who is my wife now, and my nan, who has now passed away. I missed a lot.
The thing about impressing your girlfriend is that when you do something like a private island in Fiji, it’s all downhill from that point.
Far too often, I read a script where the girls are the girlfriend or the set dressing.
You throw the kitchen sink at your early books. You put everything in there. It’s like when you meet a new girlfriend or boyfriend, you tell them all your best stories. By the time you have been married for 10 years, they are crying, ‘Shut up!’
Imagine if you’re playing at home and your girlfriend is badgering you all the time not to play. Wouldn’t it be great to have a game you could play with her? Because then you can carry on playing the game and not get beaten up for it.
When I was 13, I remember crying on my mum’s shoulder when my first girlfriend dumped me via MSN Messenger. That was cold.
We have a saying in my house, my kids and my girlfriend. We say, ‘Be your best for the greater good, and rock out wherever you are.’
I want to play a psycho, something more challenging than just ‘the girlfriend’ part.
When I was 17, I had my first proper girlfriend, and on Valentine’s Day, I painted a canvas of her, bought her a massage, put flowers on the stairs, and ran a bath.
The excuse of having a dog is great, because before I had a dog, I wouldn’t be like, ‘I need to go hike for two hours’; my girlfriend would have been like, ‘What are you doing?’ Now I take the dog, and she comes with me.
I don’t have a girlfriend. I don’t know if I have a type, but I really like girls who are driven. I really care about music, so I like it when a girl really cares about something too. Whatever it is they are into, I’ll be their biggest fan.
Personally, I don’t like a girlfriend to have a husband. If she’ll fool her husband, I figure she’ll fool me.
I have nothing to complain about, but it was new for me to figure out how to balance being the best at my job, and also as a woman, to be a good friend, girlfriend, daughter, and all of the things away from my job that are important to me.
My high-school years were so mediocre – I moved out when I was 16 and started living with my girlfriend who was 10 years older. Apart from that, I was just a video nerd.
