What does Richard E. Grant say about falling in love?
Really falling in love with somebody is That's what to me. Yeah and she said the same thing I said, yeah, but you were married and she said yeah, but She said the way that I fall in love with you is different. I said, yeah, that sounds like a Mills and Boone No tagline on a romantic novel. She said no. No, it's it's absolutely true.
I mean, I think I I think the interesting part of that is that it's that being seen and being understood on the deepest of levels. With you and Joan, it's hard then to imagine you I mean, I'm not talking about you. I shouldn't really judge you. You can do whatever you like, Richard.
Thank you.
I know that you know that. But I'd like to discuss whether you think you would ever go out with anybody again. How do you feel about that?
I've been on sort of dates with people and I've been set up with people.
I was just going to say, do you get set up all the time?
I have been. I realise in retrospect being sort of set up. But I think that... When you are ready to do that, something will happen. But it depends on what you're looking for. I'm not. I don't think on a daily basis I've got to go on a dating app. I haven't done anything like that.
How does Richard describe his relationship with Joan?
I mean, it would be a bit difficult for you to go on a dating app, wouldn't it?
Old pensioner looking for a dining companion.
Amazing.
Yeah. No, I get, I get, I've had messages on social media saying we have everything in common and we should meet.
Oh God, did I sound like that when you walked through the door? I was going, Richard, you're not going to believe it.
You did. So, you know, I think it's, yeah, I don't know, but I can't, I think the chances of meeting somebody again and feeling that or experiencing that is... I don't know how many times that can happen in your life. So I have no expectation of it, put it that way. But if in a year's time you see me in St. Paul's getting married to, the princess of Transylvania, than quote this back at me and say, you're a bit of a traitor.
Nothing would make me happier.
You were with somebody for 38 years and now you've found somebody else.
You don't see that as being a traitor though, do you? Or do you?
No, I don't think so. But maybe other people do.
Judge you all the time. Yeah, and I judge metal as a person No, I mean, I can't be right. No one's fucked up more than I have But did you think that you were going to when when You fell in love with Michael.
Did you anticipate that that might happen? Did you ever fantasize that that might happen?
What?
That you would fall in love with him.
Oh, when we first met?
Yeah.
No. I mean, I was about to marry my husband. And my life was on that trajectory. He was about to marry his wife. We both went off with our partners and had children. We'd work together four days a week.
What insights does Mel Schilling provide about lasting relationships?
We'd talk all the time and that life. Yeah, it's just really funny. I just didn't look at him with those glasses at all.
So what changed it?
I don't know. It's magic.
You don't remember the moment that it happened?
It was magic. But once I'd put on different glasses, I couldn't take them off again. I was working with him four or five days a week. We told each other everything. I mean, this is one of the things that I really, really enjoyed talking to you about is the honesty. Is that we're just brutally honest with each other. Yeah. We'll just say everything.
That's the greatest intimacy you can have with somebody, don't you think? Because the amount of times you have sex with somebody in a day is proportionately, unless you're doing a tantric seven-hour job. And even seven hours, if you're doing seven hours a day, it's still not the majority of your day that you are speaking to somebody and connecting with them.
And I think trust, my dad always said, I mean, Paul Bronson does a relationship podcast with Flight Studios and I feel a little bit like I'm treading on his toes here. I'm gonna try and, but this is from my dad, the guy out there in the red trousers. He used to say to me, love is made of four things. Friendship, you had that obviously in a mega way. Trust. It was like, if you do anything, I'll kill you.
