I realised those things my ego needed - fame and success - were going to make me terribly unhappy. So I wrenched myself away from that. I had to. I had to walk away from America and say goodbye to the biggest part of my career because I knew, otherwise, my demons would get the better of me.

George Michael

I'm a sort of nuts-and-bolts guy. I'm into turning wrenches and swinging a hammer and wrenching on cars.

Adam Carolla

Well, here's the thing with relationships on 'True Blood': Once they happen then you have to throw a monkey-wrench into them, because to have people be happy is not that exciting.

Alan Ball

The Marvel experience was particularly wrenching because I was sort of given absolute freedom while we were shooting, and then in post, it turned into a different movie.

Alan Taylor

Sometimes you have to put a wrench in the gears to get people to listen.

Alicia Garza

When you're dealing with monkeys, you've got to expect some wrenches.

Alvah Bessie

Whenever an earthquake or tsunami takes thousands of innocent lives, a shocked world talks of little else. I'll never forget the wrenching days I spent in Haiti last year for Save the Children just weeks after the earthquake.

Anne M. Mulcahy

My first toy was an adjustable wrench I called 'my wrencher.'

Archie Manning

I know at the beginning of our careers, my wife and I were gut wrenchingly competitive.

Barry Mann

It's lucky I haven't been in a bad tackle. I could be prepared, but if my body gets wrenched in the wrong way, I can't help that.

Becky Sauerbrunn

Winning, to me, is relief; losing is like dying. It's gut-wrenching.

Ben Howland

It was wrenching to read about the brutality of Assad every morning, to see images of family homes reduced to rubble. I felt we had to do something in Syria.

Ben Rhodes

Then you start another book and suddenly the galley proofs of the last one come in and you have to wrench your attention away from what you're writing and try to remember what you were thinking when you wrote the previous one.

Bernard Cornwell

'Blue Nights' is a story of loss: simple, wrenching, inconsolable loss.

Cathleen Schine

The most heart-wrenching responsibility I have as Governor is to meet a family at the airport as they stand silently waiting for the military casket of their loved one to come home.

Charlie Baker

It's not so much I like to go win, but it's a rush. A horrible gut wrenching thing, but it's exciting.

Corbin Bernsen

As a GM Goodwrench Service Plus dealer, I understand how good service makes a difference to our customers.

Dale Earnhardt

Deciding whether or not to bring in an outside CEO is one of the most gut-wrenching decisions that a founder will ever need to make.

David Cohen

I feel like reality TV has thrown a difficult wrench in the system - on the programming and making side, and on the curating side - which is that we now have a higher threshold for the salacious. We have a higher threshold, unprecedented, for fast, cheap, and out of control.

Debra Granik

If you're interested or like it, but could be just as happy living in a regular town, having a regular job, maybe doing little theatre, you're better off and you'll be a happier person. This is too gut-wrenching and heartbreaking.

Delta Burke

'Bridges' is definitely one of the heart-wrenching ones. It's definitely a message that needs to be shared out there into the world. Something we wanted to share with everybody and let them know is that we know love can conquer hate.
