Being First Lady is playing supporting act. I am not seeking notoriety and I am not seeking to grab the limelight.
Unless you believe that politicians and agencies are above a money grab, especially if it can be justified under the auspices of a public health emergency, then you should favor prudent, careful allocation of resources with accountability on the front end and follow-up after the fact.
I think if you put people in front of some huge temptation where it’s possible to grab as much as they can for themselves, almost everyone will. The beauty of commerce is that it mutes that. The chap behind the counter in the corner shop has no interest in short-changing you, because he wants you to come back.
To have faith is to trust yourself to the water. When you swim you don’t grab hold of the water, because if you do you will sink and drown. Instead you relax, and float.
I do have an office where about 70 percent of my writing gets done, but sometimes it does get a bit stir-crazy to be cooped up in there, so I’ll grab my laptop and write somewhere else: another room in the house, out on the patio, or even Heaven-forbid, a trip to Starbucks. But I also write on the road.
People are trying to grab every part of you, so it’s really hard to focus.
Pretty much any time I got a chance to do something cool, I tried to grab for it, and that’s where my solace comes from.
I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels.
I’ve always gravitated towards those ultimate lines in songs, the line you grab on to. That line in ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit,’ ‘Here we are now/Entertain us’ – the irony, the antagonism; that’s always stuck with me.
I will grab any opportunity I can to learn something new.
Look, let’s be honest. No one is interested in seeing me act. My bare arms, legs, front and back grab more attention than how I perform on screen.
We must reject the cynicism that says allowing every eligible vote to be cast and counted is a ‘power grab.’ Americans understand that these are the values our brave men and women in uniform and our veterans risk their lives to defend.
I love Sunday night after the game – you win, you go to the parking lot, you grab a beer, hang out for a little bit. Then I can’t wait to get home and watch the game on my iPad. I love getting in Monday, and I can’t wait to see what the team we are getting ready to play is doing on third down.
Why grab possessions like thieves, or divide them like socialists when you can ignore them like wise men?
I don’t know how to explain it, but when you’re working on something constantly, and you’re digging in deep, things kind of fall in, and you grab them, and you’re like, ‘That one!’ and ‘That thing!’ and it starts to build something right.
It’s difficult to feel as though you are truly being effective at work. Many of us feel trapped in endless meetings, with barely any time to grab lunch, let alone do any work. Overarching strategies and key priorities seem completely divorced from the day-to-day tactics.
At the time, I was living pretty close to Ground Zero. I had to grab some necessary equipment, put it in my backpack, and flee the immediate proximity on my bike.
I was still an avid reader of Mills & Boon romances – on publication day, I used to rush out of work to get to the local book store to grab my favourites before they all disappeared.
I’ve been very lucky, getting to travel the world with professional photographers. I’d grab their equipment, get a few lessons, and start firing shots.
When I grab the microphone, I am the greatest rapper, musician, and artist that ever lived, ever, in the entire universe – but when I put that microphone down, I am a man with so much to learn, personally and professionally.
Easy-to-grip handles are particularly important when a dish is hot and filled to the brim. The last thing you want is to grab skimpy handles with thick oven mitts and have the whole thing come crashing to your kitchen floor.
If you can grab a ball and throw it, you can grab a ball and throw it. I don’t care how tall you are, either. I’m not gonna see over a 6-foot-7 left tackle. You’ve gotta find lanes; you’ve gotta know where your guys are. It’s not about the height: if you can win ball games, you can win ’em.
What we need to do is replace the entire tax code. I do not think it makes sense to say, ‘Let’s just grab money from, quote, the wealthy’… The issue is the tax code’s rotten and we should start truly over with a simple code that is fair and transparent.
I do all the dirty work: play defense, grab rebounds, block shots and finish strong around the rim.
When I started this character, it was me being 12 years old again. We would have other wrestlers come to our promos, and I’d geek out over them and show my excitement. I would just grab them and not let go.
I hate to say this, but I always listen to the music and the instrumentation first, and then grab on to the lyrics later.
If you drive right, and your big is standing to the right, dish and keep going to their big – you grab an arm, maybe pull – so that they can’t contest. You only get called for it once in a while.
I’m a very good thinker, but I sometimes grab the wrong word. I say something I didn’t think through adequately. I mean, I don’t type my speeches, then sit up there and read them off the teleprompter, you know. I wing it.
Men are more particular, and they’re not going to grab something with a bodice-ripper cover on it.
Who cannot appreciate the smell of bacon? It smells good, but I never want to grab a bite.
I think it’s a huge a opportunity for me, because I am part of a film that has stars like Salman Khan, Anil Kapoor and Bobby Deol. It will grab eyeballs and I will get noticed, too. I hope ‘Race 3’ opens more doors for me.
You’re not going to look at Paul and see him slacking, not carrying his weight. All the other stuff, ‘Paul doesn’t lead’ and all that? That’s fine. Go grab guys that lead, then. Let me help them lead.
I did a tour down South someplace, and it was an all-day festival, and there were about 2,000 people. It was pouring down rain, and I went to grab the mic, and I got electrocuted. I felt the electricity flow through my body.
I grew up with park jams. That’s how I knew about rap… The local MCs would grab the mic and start rapping. I just used to be so in awe and fascinated and like, ‘Wow, this is amazing!’ But I would never, ever touch the mic. Heck no.
I’ve never been in this business for the recognition or the awards. I just want to do good work, grab a decent paycheck, and move onto the next job.
We aren’t showing off our muscles. We wear the tight-tailored jerseys for a technical reason. Defensive lineman are allowed to grab, so you don’t want a lot of loose material.
I have notebooks and sketchbooks for ideas. I also have drawers full of envelopes covered in quick outlines, scenes or scraps of dialogue that I don’t want to forget. I tend to grab whatever’s to hand and just get the thing down before it’s lost. It’s not what you would call a streamlined system.
Fruit in the morning is such a big joy for me. I like to grab fruit from the tree, et cetera. I don’t feel that way with vegetables. Fruit, you can eat it at any time, any moment, in any type of situation. I like everything about fruit; I like the color.
I love getting facials. I’ve even started doing microdermabrasion to keep all the makeup and dirt out of my pores. And when I’m traveling, I’ll always grab a moisturizing face mask.
My grandmother is the type of person, I’d be down playing cards in the park, and she’d take the dog and walk down to the park, like 10:30 or 11 at night. I was 12 years old. She’d come down yelling for me. I’d be embarrassed in front of my friends. She’d grab me by the hair on my head.
Because of my job, I get a lot of opportunity to grab a few days here and there in many cool cities for press commitments, magazine shoots and premieres – Barcelona, Madrid, Rome, Paris, Stockholm, New York, Berlin. I always try to get to a gallery or museum if there’s time.
The other thing I felt was that the philosophical concept behind the experiences also looked like it had been designed by technicians and not by entertainers. I felt I needed to grab hold of it and try and push the envelope as much as I possibly could right now.
The SF genre, of course, is really an organically evolved, marketplace-determined, idiosyncratic grab bag of themes and signifiers and characters and icons and gadgets, some of which hew to the realistic parameters and paradigms embraced by science, others of which partake more of fantasy and magic.
I think films have to reach people and really grab them. That’s what I hope to do when I make a film – to get under your skin and really make you think about something, and have a transporting time that takes you somewhere.
Every goal is a nice goal, great feeling, but the most important thing is we grab the three points and give the fans a nice afternoon.
In a deal, you give and take. You compromise. Then you grab the cash and catch the next train out of town.
From what I can see, gone are the days where you can just be the strongest, and that will put you at the top. It takes a little bit more… something else to grab the attention of not just pro wrestling fans but fans in general – to catch their eye.
‘The Sopranos’ wardrobe people would sometimes go over there and just grab stuff off the racks, because B&G has that style that never ages. It’s like a ’50s or ’60s style. It fits me well.
