Relationship Information, Quotes, and Trivia
Where and/or how did Russell Brand and Katy Perry meet?
They met when "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" filmmaker Nick Stoller set up a shoot at the VMAs to score celeb cameos for his Aldous Snow spin-off. The only problem was that Perry was still entwined with Gym Class Heroes frontman Travie McCoy. But when Perry returned to the 2009 VMAs as a single lady, it was on. When it came to orchestrating a grand entrance for returning master of ceremonies Brand, VMA folks thought the pop star could play a key role. After flirting their way through rehearsals, producers saw the British funnyman promising to call Perry later on.

Classic Quotes by Russell Brand and Katy Perry about their relationship:
"We both needed balance, and we give that to each other. It wasn't about me taming him...it was about timing." Katy Perry 2/2011
"It was a deep craving within me - I mistook it for lust. I thought I was promiscuous, but it turns out I was just thorough - to get the right one. I'm ever so happy...I don't know, get married, you say? That would be good, isn't it? I want to have children - that would be good. Russell Brand 12/2009
"I'm excited to find a partner who can just be my teammate. And there's got to be respect. For me, that's hard because it's easy for me to steamroll guys. I need a man who tells me the party's over, that it's time to go home, because [we] have to work in the morning." Katy Perry 12/2009
"When [Russell] was filming 'Get Him to the Greek,' I did a cameo with him. My scene called for me to make out with him. And on the way down the stairs after the scene, I was hopping like a bunny. I hop like a bunny when I'm happy - I get a bit childlike." Katy Perry 12/2009
"A baby can't have a baby and I'm still a baby." Katy Perry
When I got divorced, I considered becoming a monk. When you're a monk, you're not allowed to have sex with anyone. When you're married, it's one person. That's one more than a monk. It's not that different. I'd be having sex thinking, Think of anyone, anyone else. Russell Brand
