I'll bring my grits when I travel, because I get so hungry on the road.

For breakfast I have grits, because I'm a Southern girl!

Over time, grit is what separates fruitful lives from aimlessness.

I like to think I am well-mannered. If I have the option at a breakfast place, I'll go with the grits. That's how Southern I am.

When I eat biscuits, I also eat grits.

Grit is that 'extra something' that separates the most successful people from the rest. It's the passion, perseverance, and stamina that we must channel in order to stick with our dreams until they become a reality.

What I really like about 'Grit' - especially being the guy who goes on TV every week and says 'Never Give Up' and who truly tries to live his life to that credo - we recruited 16 people who said, 'I will never give up.' And the only way they can leave the contest is by doing the one thing they said they never would.

I love gritty drama. I'm passionate about films and drama that make you think - hard-hitting, gravelly characters.

There's nothing I hate more than gritty, linty, mysterious pocket schmutz in the cap of my lip moisturizer - or, even worse, on the applicator itself. I shudder at the thought.

I'm at my best in a messy, middle-of-the-road muddle.
