As an artist, I would probably go on stage and bump and grind with a dancer. In real life, never.
- Britney SpearsI don`t lecture and I don`t grind any axes. I just want to entertain.
- Gregory PeckI wiggle my shoulders, I shake my legs, I walk up and down the stage, I hop around on one foot. But I never bump and grind. Why, that`s vulgar. I`d never do anything vulgar before an audience. My mother would never allow it.
- Elvis Presley(February 2006) Look at what happened to James Frey in the last two weeks. That`s a great book and so is the follow-up book. And just because his publisher chose to say that these were memoirs, it took it out of being a work of fiction, a great work of fiction and very well-written to this guy having to go be sucker punched on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" (1986) by one of the most powerful women in television just to grind her own ax about it. Hey Oprah, you had President (Bill Clinton) on your show and if this prick didn`t lie about a couple of things I`m going to set myself on fire right now. James Frey is a writer, okay? He can write whatever he wants. It`s fiction, and it`s just hard, it`s just shameful how he was treated in some of these things. It`s just shameful and it`s just not fair and not right . . .
- Bruce Willis(On landing No Country for Old Men) The Coen Brothers didn`t pitch the project to me actually. I had read the book first without knowing that there was a movie being made. My agent actually called me and said they were making "No Country" and explained the script to me and said, "No, no. I read the book." She sent me a couple of scenes and then I said, "I can`t get out of work." I was working with Robert Rodriguez on "Grind House" and Robert and Quentin (Tarantino) helped put me on tape as an audition tape and sent that to the Coen`s. They were smitten with the lighting and not so much for me. So that was a no. It was only through my agent, Michael Cooper, who is my good friend and a great agent. He`s an old time agent; there are few and far between that actually care about their clients. He kept telling Ethan (Coen), `Just meet him. I`m not going to tell you he`s the one but I`m going to tell you to just meet him.` I met them on what I found out later was their last casting call and then I got the part.
- Josh BrolinYou`re confronted with the quandary: do I grind things to a halt? Ideally you would, but I have better things to do than educate people.
- Wentworth MillerEverybody was in struggle, in the grind trying to make it.
- Young BuckWe he (Erwin) went downtown we came up with interceptions. And we can grind it out.
- Tom LewisAs long as you`re having fun, that`s the key. The moment it becomes a grind, it`s over.
- Barry GibbWe`ve still got a grind and battle ahead of us. I think we`re going up against a great team and we`re going to have our hands full. I think the rivalry is there regardless of which team is in front.
- Gabe KaplerYou get the family together that hasn`t been together and there`s drinking. Tempers can flair and old issues can come to the surface - old grievances, old axes-to-grind.
- John YoungI try to make a point of saying to myself, `Well listen, it`s out of the way. Now you don`t have to worry about not making a bogey now. I got off to a slow start and felt sort of mentally I had to grind my way and fight my way back into it.
- Justin RoseThey`re the kind of team that will grind you in the ground,
- Patrick BrownWe`re flattered to be picked as high as fifth, but we lost our top three players from last year and I`m not sure that all of the coaches are aware of that. I believe that our competitiveness will allow us to finish near the top half of the conference but every match for us will be a grind. Whether we`re playing the team picked first or picked ninth - we`ll have to show up and fight our hearts out in order to have a chance to win.
- Michael HuntIt's just a hobby, ... I don't grind for sale. I do grind for contribution. I'll grind it right in front of your eyes.
- John RossThe way to crush the bourgeoisie is to grind them between the millstones of taxation and inflation.
- Andrew JoudreyPoets yearn, of course, to be published, read, and understood, but they do little, if anything, to set themselves above the common herd and the daily grind.
- Andrew ShieldsI`m not a numbers guy. I`m just going to go out and grind my rear end off on every shot. If you focus on a number you think you have to shoot, that just puts more pressure on you and there`s already enough pressure in a major championship.
- Andrew WestphalUnfortunately, we had a couple of losses at the beginning of the season, but the division is up for grabs right now. New England is losing, Miami is right there. We feel like we`re very competitive, and we know what we have to do when it comes to division games. We have to buckle up and get on the grind.
- Andy ThielIt`s what everybody wants, perfection. It`s a grind out here. It`s a tough game. It`s not easy to go out and win a ballgame.
- Angus CampbellBrandon Jackon and Johan Givens and Jon Lane have all played well. They`re all dependable. Jon Lane is kind of the faster back out of the three guys. He`s a real surprise. He worked really hard this offseason. We tried to get him in on some special teams. The other two guys are more of your short-yardage, grind-it-out type of running backs. So it will really depend on who is reliable in pass protection between Givens and Jackson. But Lane knows the offense, he studies his butt off, he works hard . He`s just been an all around surprise.
- Arnaud ClementIllegitimis non carborundum.Lat., Don`t let the bastards grind you down.
- Arthur HayhoeWomen now don`t want to be in the grind. The baby boomers made the grind seem unappealing.
- Arthur RockwellWith the new rules he`s going to score. Still, I`ll take some of the grind and some of the front-of-the-net play that we have in our guys, and I think it`s just made us a deeper, stronger team in that sense.
- Ashley HendersonI think the greatest satisfaction is seeing the kids make it here, knowing what they`ve been through to get here. The pain, the rough road, the grind of it all. To see them finally reach their goal, that`s a great feeling. To be here with them, it`s fulfilling a dream for me, too.
