January 2004
I feel perfect right now; better than ever. I was misquoted in an interview, saying that I can never be with a girl for more than one week. That sounded kinda bad; like I said that about here and now. What I said is that I've never been with a girl for more than a week before and now people can see that I've been with Anna for much more than a week, so it's obvious I'm happy.
Are you jealous of the attention Anna gets from the male population?
No, I don't get jealous. If I'm with someone it's because I completely
trust them. The minute insecurity or jealousy comes in, it kills the
relationship. You should enjoy it and not have to worry about what each
other is doing.
Does Anna get jealous of your fans?
No, man, she's the coolest person in the world. She's smart, easy going
and beautiful. It's great to be with someone who's up for it when you say
at four in the morning "Let's go water skiing". I like women who aren't
prissy, who don't mind going to McDonalds DriveThru or doing crazy things.
I like women who don't mind getting dirty and I don't mean sexually. No,
actually, sexually too! I like them tough and up for anything, but
feminine at the same time. I'm not saying I want a butch chick who's going
to pick me up and kick my ass!
You seem to have been more open about your relationship recently.
We don't do public appearances, but in September I had the premiere for
Once Upon A Time In Mexico and Anna came with me. Usually I try to keep
our relationship as private as possible. It's hard enough to keep a
relationship healthy just being 'normal', so imagine how difficult it can
be when two famous people start dating.
Those pictures made it into pretty much every magazine and newspaper.
I know. There were some other photos as well. We were just walking on the
beach, enjoying each other's company, when this lifeguard pulled up and
said "There are paparazzi all over the place." They were hiding in bins so
we hadn't seen them. That really threw us because we were trying to have a
private moment. People blame us and say we shouldn't be affectionate in
public, but we're a couple. What couple doesn't want to be affectionate to
each other?
But you knew there'd be loads of photographers at the film premiere...
[Throws his hands in the air] Of course! But that's the only really public
appearance we've made. That and the 2002 MTV Video Music Awards. I hear so
much bullshit about us, but we have a pretty normal life together. That's
why I usually don't even talk about it. I don't know why I'm telling you
so much! Relationships can be hard, especially when people speculate about
you al the time. But I'm still young, man. I'm not like, y'know...
So are you going to get hitched?
No way! And I don't mean that because I'm afraid of getting married. I
just think these days when you can live with someone first, then why not?
I'm not saying that marriage is bad, but the whole of everyone just being
there and watching me? Sheesh! The day that I get married, man. I'm
getting married in Las Vegas in a drivethrough. Nobody will know about it.
My mum will kill me. [Laughs] Now, you watch me get married ten years from
now and have a huge wedding an totally contradict myself...
