And I think I got to know her so well as a friend first, which then made it really easy when we started dating to say, ‘Wow this is the person and I know, right off the bat.’ So it happened very fast, within days of us diving in. I told [my brothers] a week after our first date, ‘I’m going to propose later this year.’ I said September it was May at the time, it ended up being June when I proposed."—on SiriusXM

“I knew [she was the one] like right away. She was in New Orleans shooting this movie so I was flying back and forth to date her. She had just gotten out of this long relationship and so the second time I went to go see her, I was in the airport, and I noticed thatPeoplemagazine had put me on the cover of the bachelor issue. Like, number one bachelor guy. So I grabbed it off the shelf and I went to go see her. We got to talking and I said, ‘Look, I know you just got out of this longterm relationship and if you need to be single then I understand. I’m not going to like it, but I just need to know if that’s what this is. But before you answer, I want to show you something …’

It will happen to you in the Manchester United players; lounge – although you will get a little drunk, so exact details are hazy. While the other football players stand at the bar drinking with their mates, you will see David standing aside with his family. (He’s not even in the first team at this stage – you are the famous one.) And he has such a cute smile. You, too, are close to your family, and you will think how similar he feels to you. He’s going to ask for your number. (He still has the London-to-Manchester plane ticket on which you wrote it.)"— in a letter to her teenage self, published inVogue

And a lot of girls back then in Hollywood — as far as the actresses — didn’t eat, they ate salad. And I had gone on a date with a handful of them and they would never eat what I would eat. You have to have that in common with me if we’re going to get along. And so Sarah came to dinner with me, and she ate everything, including a crab that they let walk across the counter, then kill while it was alive in some oil and said, ‘It’s popcorn, try.’ And she ate it without even blinking, and I was like, ‘Yo, my girl is legit.’ “— on Facebook Live
