Russell Brand Quotes

I'm currently single, so I want to have fun! As for what guys need to do to date out of their league, it's all about the swagger. If you have confidence, you can get pretty much any girl.

I'm pretty smart with boys. I know how to handle them and I know what to do around them.

Everything about a date is weird, especially if it's a new person you don't really know.

So I went in New York and we practiced in the hallway of her hotel with all of the hotel staff watching. She just said "Don't even flinch. Keep going!" It was hilarious, but I think that was kind of a confidence booster.

When I don't know what to do, I just open my mouth. Why won't anyone date me?

When you're prepared, you're more confident. When you have a strategy, you're more comfortable.

I don't like dates. If you meet someone that you like then meet them out somewhere. That's good because that's comfortable. I don't like the feeling of going to pick someone up that I don't know that well at their house and then take them to kind of a formal restaurant.

I'm determined, and I'm passionate and driven about whatever I commit myself to do. If I don't know something, I'm going to ask, and I've got no problems in asking questions. I never have. People ask me, "Are you nervous when you go on the runway? You don't look it." Yes, I am.

People asked me before I left, “do you have friends [there]?’ and I would just shake my head no, thinking to myself, But I will.
