Hugh Grant

Basically, my life is so boring, it's embarrassing.

But I just know from experience that accent wise, even if you're an accent genius, crossing the Atlantic is the hardest thing in the world either way.

But when you're a celebrity, you discover that you're no longer the pursuer, but the one being pursued. That's one of the disappointments I have had since becoming a single man.

Hugh Grant

Neither Elizabeth or I are keen to do a real-life couple on the screen. It's not very electric.
