“I nearly asked her to marry me on our first date. It was like a hit of acid, a wave of confusion, emerging from under the water, a moment of Oh bloody hell, different perception for a moment, extraordinary…And then I thought, I’ll give it space and see what happens. … It’s the most normal relationship I’ve ever had with anybody. She’s very spirited, bighearted, innocent, but very, very smart. Someone told me that enlightenment is contingent upon being able to hold opposing views simultaneously. I’m actually attracted to that magnetism and sort of repulsion. She’s endlessly fascinating…I was at a point in my life where I was ready to behave. I look at it the way I look at most things: One day at a time. I will say it’s very, very rewarding and I love her.”

– Russell Brand on courting, proposing to, and worshiping Katy Perry.

I don’t know – a lot of people think that these two are going to split up within the year or so, but I think these two fools are in it to win it. I can just imagine them both flitting off to obscurity together, hand in hand, sitting in plastic-covered armchairs and watching reruns of The Price is Right, while eating pork rinds and Ring Dings, getting fat, fat, fatter off of their Booky Wook and ‘Teenage Dream’ royalties, and becoming so apathetic about one another and their situation together that they’ll just never have the gumption to go and split up. Sometimes it’s just easier that way, and this is the way that I see these two working out, you know?
