The stars’ bond has been on full display during their A Star Is Born press tour.
“I’m just so glad God gave her the talent that she has and he chose her, because that’s quite a vessel to go through. Because it’s really what you do with it, and she’s such a beautiful human being.”
“Our friendship is exactly what set the tone for this film. He’s such a wonderful person. He says it to me in the movie, he says, ‘All you gotta do is trust me.’ I trusted him the whole time. He pulled things out of me that I never thought that I even had.”
“I made a friend for life. As great as this movie was the thing that I think I’ll take away forever is the relationship I have with her because she is an incredible person. I’m very lucky to have worked with her.”
“He’s a wonderful person, but as a filmmaker, he is just spectacular, and also as a singer and songwriter. I couldn’t believe the voice that came out of him. As I watched him become a musician making this film, it was an honor.”
“It was because I had that camaraderie onstage, I thought, ‘It’s gonna be okay.’ When she’s looking at me and believes I’m a musician, well, I must be a musician.”
“It just has changed me. Watching Bradley work was phenomenal and then having him believe in me — it gave me more ammunition to believe in myself and I just feel so blessed to have had that experience.”
“As soon as I saw his eyes, we had this instant connection. We’re both from the East Coast; we’re both Italian. Before I knew it I was heating up some leftover pasta for him. Then he wanted to sing together. I started to play and he started to sing, and I just stopped and looked over at him and said, ‘Oh, my gosh. You can sing!’ “
“I think the biggest thing I learned is that sky’s the limit if you find a companion artistically, and you have a project. There is no dreaming too big. What people can do together is so much more powerful than what they can do by themselves.”
