Hugh Grant Net Worth

Hugh Grant's Quotes

• I could do with more mobbing, particularly from women. I'd like to be treated like Ricky Martin.
• I just don't believe in love at first sight any more, even though I've based my whole career on the concept. In my experience, power, money and influence always attract the opposite sex. It's something that I've always exploited - with good results.
• Basically, my life is so boring, it's embarrassing.
• [on being called "posh" by the media] I do, kind of, want to ram their microphones down their patronizing throats.
• I don't particularly like babies. I don't mind them for about four minutes. That's my max. After that I can't quite see what everyone's fussing about.
