“Sometimesyou’re invited to things and you have a plus one [so] there’s pressure tochoose like who is going to be my plus one,” said Rebel Wilson. “If you’re in along-term committed relationship, you automatically got that person. But for meI have to weigh out the factors. Who do I want to bring? Will they come? Willthey be sober? All that kind of stuff."

And thebest thing about being single? “Getting to do whatever you want all the timeand getting to do whatever you want with your brain and go places and seethings and not have the pressure or opinions of someone else,” said the Fifty Shades of Grey star. “Yeah,independence,” agreed Rebel, explaining, “You don’t have to confer with anyone.Like if I’m just going to go to New York and see a Broadway show you can justgo and do it. And you don’t have to be like ‘Don’t eat those leftovers in thefridge…because I want those for lunch tomorrow,’ because nobody else is therein your house so you can just have the leftovers yourself!”
