We push ourselves and each other to be better. We’re close enough that we’re not timid around one another. We pitch so many ideas every day – sometimes good, sometimes bad. But it’s great to have a safety net where hopefully, between the two of us, nothing really bad will ever get through.
Matt Duffer
I have spoken honestly about being born into a home where there was discord and chaos. I saw my mom have a rough time with my dad being very controlling, which is why I push back whenever I feel like someone is trying to box me in. It makes me run for the hills.

When I look for the next project, it’s always about, ‘Is it going to push me out of my comfort zone? Am I doing something different? Am I working with people who are passionate about what they’re doing?’ At the end of the day, if I’m going to be bored on set, then I’m not gonna be happy.
Amanda Crew
I really believe that you grow up a certain way in New York. There’s a New York morality, a sense of loyalty. You know how to win and lose. There’s a thousand kids outside, you know who to push and who not to push. There’s a sixth sense you develop just because it’s New York.
James Caan
Everything I try to do wants to be able to push communication through the notion of the visual image.

Morris Gleitzman
I have always strived to do something different, to push myself.

Marc Jacobs
But in the right-wing media, they do have a right-wing bias. And they also have an agenda. So their agenda is: we’re an adjunct of the Republican Party, and we’re going push that agenda every day, and, as you say, brand these stories that help further the right-wing cause.
Al Franken
There’s a road that runs through our humanity and it traverses political and partisan lines, and my job as a U.S. senator is to do everything I can to point to that road that connects our collective humanity and to push forward legislation that’s good for everybody.

On ‘The Dragon Prince’, we wanted to push that even more to leverage the strengths of a CG and 3D pipeline. We wanted details on the character designs, in the costumes and sets, that you really can’t get in traditional 2D animation.
Aaron Ehasz
We are all fed from hundreds and thousands of hands. Often we do not know whose they are nor how they work. Only a few of us ever visualize the hands that grope in the coal mines or push levers in the mills or handle axes in the lumber camp.
Louis MacNeice
Make a choice: continue living your life feeling muddled in this abyss of self-misunderstanding, or you find your identity independent of it. You push for colour-blind casting; you draw your own box. You introduce yourself as who you are, not what colour your parents happen to be.

Christian Siriano
You can’t push and force people to do what they don’t want to do.

I have a wandering eye and a lazy eye so they cancel each other out. It’s a push.
Kevin Nealon
It’s different every time you write. Sometimes it might be harder than it was the day before. I don’t like forcing it, but sometimes, if you force it a little bit, it helps you to push forward, and you get inspired in a way. I’ve written songs in an hour. And there are songs that have taken me six months.
Phillip Phillips
I always just forced myself to do crazy things in public. In college I would push an overhead projector across campus with my pants just low enough to show my butt. Then my friend would incite the crowd to be like, ‘Look at that idiot!’ That’s how I got over being shy.

Fatema Mernissi
I believe that God breathed life into every person and that every person is made in the image of God and you have accept them as they are, on their journey. I’m not here to preach hate or push people down.

Lets not push it under the rug, or push it to the side because, no matter what, it’s going to keep coming up. You know, if you never deal with that dirt up under the carpet, it’s going to get larger and larger, and it’s going to keep coming up.
Herschel Walker
You just deal with the cards that are dealt you and you just go on and push forward.

Paul Nehlen
But we have seen amazing things, good and bad, happen in this game, so you can never take anything for granted. I certainly don’t. There are no guarantees, whether it is good bad or indifferent you just work hard to push the odds in your favour as regards myself and the team.

Forrest Griffin
You don’t need to push your beliefs onto other people!
Hilary Duff
Whatever I engage in, I must push inordinately.
Andrew Carnegie
As algorithms push humans out of the job market, wealth and power might become concentrated in the hands of the tiny elite that owns the all-powerful algorithms, creating unprecedented social and political inequality. Alternatively, the algorithms might themselves become the owners.

Gary Burton
Churches we build only by our own efforts and not in the strength of the Spirit will quickly collapse when we don’t push and prod people along.

Aries Spears
These rovers are living on borrowed time. We’re so past warranty on them. You try to push them hard every day because we’re living day to day.

Dorothy Fields
Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns are the main event of WrestleMania 34 because neither one is content, and both are ambitious enough to push the limits of what is now considered their greatest moment, and that’s the point that neither one will ever accept.

Paul Heyman
Normally, we push away the things we’re scared of.
Jeff Bridges
‘The X Factor’ was the final push I needed to have the presence and confidence on stage, which I didn’t have before. It’s a crash course in the music industry. If you can survive the show, you’re ready for the industry.
Fleur East
It is up to us to change laws on the books like ‘Stand Your Ground’ laws and push elected officials to enact regulations that hold police officers to the same standards as the rest of society. This is why we vote.
Al Sharpton
Characters in TV and theatre tend to experience a lot of conflict, so I push myself through sport to physical and emotional levels that hurt so I’ve some other reference for extreme experience that isn’t me shouting at my girlfriend or my mum. It’s a way of controlling the uncontrollable.

Danny Carey
For me, the most interesting people are ones who often work against their best interests. Bad choices. They go in directions where you go, ‘No no no nooo!’ You push away someone who is trying to love you, you hurt someone who’s trying to get your trust, or you love someone you shouldn’t.
Paul Haggis
Arrogance generally is a bad thing, but with a band, somehow you have to have this gang mentality or this certain degree of arrogance to push forward an idea that’s new enough that people aren’t comfortable with it at first.

Vladimir Lenin
When I was a youth, to be called ‘African’ was a diss. At school, the African kids used to lie and say they were Jamaican.

Skepta
Part of what makes you great as a young player can hurt you at the end of your career, in terms of you need a certain amount of ego, a certain amount of arrogance to be able to play well and to push yourself and trick yourself into thinking you’re better than you really are.

Few things in the world are more powerful than a positive push. A smile. A world of optimism and hope. A ‘you can do it’ when things are tough.

I have big emotions, and I care deeply about delivering for New Yorkers, and sometimes that means you got to push things forward – and I think New Yorkers know that.

As a fair skinned blonde, I disappeared into the background. I’ve always been a loner, so I suppose dyeing my hair red was a way to say, ‘I’m here, I exist, I’m a human being and you can’t just push me aside.’
Deborah Ann Woll
Brands are faced with the daily challenge of massively scaling their outreach in order to build personal relationships. While this may seem like a contradiction in terms, it becomes much more possible when brands shift from push to pull dynamics in their marketing.
Simon Mainwaring
How well I walk my talk, and not talk my talk, determines the quality of my engagement, of all my experience with what is quite personally my God. I’m my greatest teacher, and within me, I have the power to push myself deeper and higher.
Lorraine Toussaint
Never assume you can’t do something. Push yourself to redefine the boundaries.
Brian Chesky

Brian Schweitzer
I believe that being an actress or being involved in a movie has to be a life experience, otherwise why go for it? I have to change me, and I have to learn things, and I have to push me and my limits. By acting, I find a freedom inside of a prison in a way.
Juliette Binoche
When you are in a growth company, you have to really open people’s eyes to the bigger possibilities so they think differently. Once they understand how to define success and what their role is in success, they make better decisions, and you can push decision-making down.

When we try to push the envelope, there are certain sectors of society that say this is a Zionist plot to sort of destabilize our country, or this is an American agenda.

There’s so many things that people do on a daily basis that they do as a way of defining who they are. But really, what defines who you are is when circumstances push you to the edge.
Aisha Hinds

Sarah Parish
If you ever want to get anywhere in life, you’re going to have to push it, and somebody’s going to push you to get there. End of story.

Burning Spear
I’m interested in pursuing roles that allow me to push against my own walls, my own constraints as a human being, and to find out where I’m capable of going. In real life, I’m not very good at feeling emotions, so I like to do it through my work.
Tom Cullen
There can be dramas in your life and you can get over them and become someone. You don’t have to wallow in self-pity; you can actually use the experiences in your life to push yourself further and help others.
Craig Revel Horwood
As algorithms push humans out of the job market, wealth and power might become concentrated in the hands of the tiny elite that owns the all-powerful algorithms, creating unprecedented social and political inequality. Alternatively, the algorithms might themselves become the owners.
Yuval Noah Harari
The conundrum that I face on a daily basis is that I have two sons who have grown up watching ‘The Simpsons,’ so they know exactly what buttons to push. They know how Bart irritates Homer, and they use these lines against me to tell me that I’m not funny anymore.
Matt Groening
And really, the basis, I think, of achieving some success in what I want to do today comes from my mother’s push to get me to read and to make something of myself from the standpoint of an education.
Sam Donaldson
I’ve done a couple of songs which are not up to the mark. So, mentally, I’ve set a goal that I should be more dynamic and try and push myself as much as I can.
Arijit Singh
FX does a great thing with its comedies where they give them a slow push out there.
Paul Scheer
When I started, my teachers told me that I had to sing ‘Mozart, Mozart, Mozart.’ I said, ‘No, I want to sing all the other stuff.’ If you do not push yourself, you will stay the same. Maybe some singers are happy with that, but I have to move, I have to do something new always.
Anna Netrebko
There is so much going on in world, even just on the Internet. I think TV should push to put some of the positive things going on in shows, and also to discuss more of the negative things so more people can relate.
Skai Jackson
Like a lot of business owners out there, I don’t desire to face the continual flogging from government regulators who push burdensome and confusing state tax and employment laws on the business. It creates an unnecessary risk when, as an owner, I can just take it offshore.
Brandon Webb
In this era of globalisation, I believe that the only way to push the Philippines forward is to focus our energy on improving English, mathematics, science, and technology.
Lucio Tan
I watch films that inspire me and make me want to go to work the next morning, that really push you and motivate you. So in that aspect, I look up to a lot of people.
Michael B. Jordan
We don’t want to push our ideas on to customers, we simply want to make what they want.
Laura Ashley

L’Wren Scott
We actually believe Windows 8 is the new era for the PC plus. We believe with a single push of a button you can move seamlessly in and out of both worlds. We believe you can have touch, a pen, a mouse, and a keyboard.
B. Kevin Turner
The biggest learning is that an athlete needs to know when to stop. To know that if I push beyond this, there could be a problem.
Neeraj Chopra
My goal has been to encourage jointness, to push people to think of affiliations rather than to operate as solo entrepreneurs.
A. Bartlett Giamatti
I take my dog, Fideo, out for a hike in Runyon Canyon three times a week. It’s about 45 minutes round-trip with a variation of super steep hills and flat areas. He’s always running ahead, which helps me push myself, especially up the hills.
Ana Ortiz
I train mainly with guys, and they help to push me.
Genzebe Dibaba
The reality of split government puts a premium on creativity within the administration. President Obama needs to put the right people in charge of the agencies and then have them push the bounds of administrative power to change policy through those agencies. President Obama has a pretty good track record of this.
Eliot Spitzer
I eye ‘Modern Love’ warily between that second and third cup of coffee on Sunday mornings, calculating how much of a push I need to get through the day’s unhurriedly earnest saga of heartbreak and recovery.
Sandra Tsing Loh
You set your goals to a point where they’re attainable, but far enough away that you have to really go get them. And every year I push my goals a little bit farther away, and every year I work a little bit harder to get them.
Rafael Palmeiro
For the most part, I think video games do a good job of capturing the essence of boxing. However, I’d like to continue to see them push the realism, emphasizing the skill involved.
Sugar Ray Leonard
While Obama might not push college education exclusively, like most Democrats he does oversell it and does shortchange the alternatives. And millions of young Americans pay the price.
Rick Perlstein
When you’re a standup comic, you get up and you try stuff, and you’re always kind of seeing how far you can push things.
Aasif Mandvi
In an environment where you’ve got to push innovations out the door fast and keep the cost of innovation low, the probability that you’ll be successful is actually much higher.
Clayton M. Christensen
A lot of film directors are quite scared of actors. They are a bit of a nightmare sometimes, but I like them. It looks like cunning, but you try to get extra things from them all the time, by stealth, by making them feel confident, so they trust you and you can push a bit.
Danny Boyle
The letters I really love are from young actresses who were worried they had to fit a certain look. They say I’ve opened it up. And I don’t just mean plus-size girls. You can push things now. With all the great performances in ‘Bridesmaids’, it changed how people see funny women.
Melissa McCarthy
But such IMF pressure is very much helpful for me to push such a, you know, reform. So in this sense I think IMF is very much helpful for alien society.
Kim Dae Jung
Business is always looking to avoid the toughest norms. But some do it in a civilized way, while others push it using uncivilized, brazen methods.

Randa Haines
You have to believe in yourself, challenge yourself, and push yourself until the very end; that’s the only way you’ll succeed.

Dorado Beach’s rich history provided amazing inspiration to put forward a bold menu celebrating the legacy of the people and cuisine that shaped this unique destination and to push me to share some of my own stories.

Stone Gossard
There are many ways to push for much-needed reforms: One way is to make a donation. It doesn’t matter much whether you contribute publicly or in a private way – either way is good. What matters is your true intention.
Lee Min-ho
Anytime you see Beyonce, Jay Z, Kanye West. Anytime a young black person’s doing good, that’s motivation for everybody else. Anytime, anytime, it’s motivation. Use that fuel to push you forward. That’s what I did.
Keke Palmer
I’m never doing anything by rote. I’m only on thin ice, and I think that that’s a good place to be. I feel like when you push yourself like that, the rewards can be pretty great.
Patrick deWitt
Dogs are forever in the push up postion.
Mitch Hedberg
I push myself to the limit.
Floyd Mayweather, Jr.

Alex Steffen
Every season I try to top myself, and push it a little further.
L’Wren Scott

Jenna Jameson
I think that social media platforms and technology have been the accelerator for the push for the populist-style administrations in democratically elected presidents.
Maria Ressa
Obama’s ability to use his personality to push folks, whether on Capitol Hill or in Europe, means that he has to stay popular. What happens if he loses that popular mandate?
Chuck Todd
I don’t want to do animation to mimic reality. I want to push reality.
Genndy Tartakovsky
For most Olympic athletes, their training is their hardest challenge and where they push themselves to the limit. For Paralympians, training and competition is an escape from the hardships and struggles of their everyday life. That is the difference.
Giles Duley
Only the fat-cat corporations can really afford to put on two mega-ready-to-wear shows a year, or four if you add two haute couture shows, or six if you count men’s wear. Resort and prefall push the number up to eight. A couple of promotional shows in Asia, Brazil, Dubai or Moscow can bring the count to 10.
Suzy Menkes
I don’t want to push the envelope. Let the envelope stay in the middle of the table. I’ll just make you laugh.
Rita Rudner
I think what I would say to my younger self, and probably to younger, just starting-out writers is that a lot of times you’re just afraid to put yourself out there, and it’s uncomfortable because it’s working up the courage to do something, to push yourself to do those things.
Carol Leifer
God, I can push the grass apart and lay my finger on Thy heart.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
There are many role models I’ve been around, and kind of the biggest one – there’s a show called ‘Push Girls,’ with all women in wheelchairs, and they’re all really good friends of mine. And one, Angela Rockwood, is still modeling, in a wheelchair. After a car accident.
Jamie Brewer
If you make it anywhere in life, you owe that success to the people along the way who stuck up for you, or made sacrifices for you, and gave you a push when you needed it. In my case, those people were my family.
Gordie Howe
I had fears going into television that it might become boring to me, and I always like to be challenged, push myself. You do a film, and you know where you’re going; you have this material to stretch and play with as much as possible because you know how it ends.
Norman Reedus
I’m one of the most optimistic persons in the world. I always believed that – there’s another shot, another chance. In boxing, I never gave up. I kept trying, kept trying. Even when things seemed so dim, I continued to push forward to make something happen in my favor.
Sugar Ray Leonard
With my time in the limelight, I regret that I didn’t use it more to push vegetarianism. I support vegetarian options in the school lunch program.

Leonardo Bonucci
From time to time I might push a little bit too hard and I have got to be a bit more careful.

Publishers give you deadlines for those last phases of production that are perfectly comfortable for them. So, to whatever extent I can, I like to push those to give me a little more time, and make it so that they’re as uncomfortable as I am.
Charles Frazier
Like solo sailors venturing into the Southern Ocean, climbers are seduced by risk. The desire to push to a summit or scale a rock face is so strong that they consciously or subconsciously minimize safety precautions drilled into their brains.
Charles Duhigg
It’s wonderful when you pair entrepreneurs together because they can share experiences and in some ways push each other to build better products going forward.
Kevin Systrom
Lets not push it under the rug, or push it to the side because, no matter what, it’s going to keep coming up. You know, if you never deal with that dirt up under the carpet, it’s going to get larger and larger, and it’s going to keep coming up.
Herschel Walker
I think we all strive to push ourselves, to overcome our struggles. And when we do, we get to know ourselves better.
Ann Bancroft
I still believe in hope and that a good song will push itself.
Hank Williams III
My lighter, more superficial side will always steal a march on the deeper side and therefore always win. You can’t imagine how often I’ve tried to push away this Anne, which is only half of what is known as Anne – to beat her down, hide her.
Anne Frank
Being an entrepreneur is a mindset. You have to see things as opportunities all the time. I like to do interviews. I like to push people on certain topics. I like to dig into the stories where there’s not necessarily a right or wrong answer.
Soledad O’Brien
I look at the progressive policies that have marginalized black dads. They push them to the side and say, ‘You’re not needed.’ Uncle Sam is going to be the dad: he’s going to provide for the kids; he’s going to feed the kids.
David A. Clarke, Jr.
The strategy we need to pursue is one of recovering our time – to push back on our hours of work. We need to form a new alliance between feminist groups, labor unions, child advocates, progressive corporations, and the federal government insofar as it’s willing to pursue a family-friendly agenda.
Arlie Russell Hochschild
When push comes to shove, we all should know most Americans want the same things, but just disagree on how to get there, which is why it should be okay to not panic if the other party wins.
Matt Taibbi
I just push away everything negative. Just do what you want to do and believe that you can do it and you will do it.
Maryse Mizanin
My own approach has always been to push intense emotions down and attempt to deal with them later. When I was younger, I was terrified to express anger because it would often kick-start a horrible reaction in the men in my life.
Alanis Morissette
My mother is quite a woman. She would push me, and when I got tired of her pushing, I’d say: ‘Leave me alone. Don’t push so much.’
Laurence Fishburne
As soon as it was clear, in Copenhagen in 2009, that the Senate was blocking Obama from introducing meaningful climate legislation, the push was for him to use executive authority, use the EPA, use the tool of federal leases, and there was just a refusal to do it.
Naomi Klein
I’ve always tried to push myself technically and to push myself visually. That’s been part of the journey.
Vera Wang
In our system, at about 11:30 on election night, they just push you off the edge of the cliff-and that’s it. You might scream on the way down, but you’re going to hit the bottom, and you’re not going to be in elective office.
Walter F. Mondale
I thrive on obstacles. If I’m told that it can’t be told, then I push harder.
Issa Rae
I tend to just do whatever I want on an album and try to make it work. I’m just adventurous. It’s most exciting to be at the edge of your abilities. I want to see how far I can push things.
Gotye
It’s great to see so many women grab the world by its lapel, push their limits, and shine through it all.
Jennifer Winget
You don’t have to do everything by the time you’re 30. Or 40. All you need is a work ethic. It’s what allows you to push through moments of disappointment and self-doubt and fear.
Candace Bushnell
A majority of all defectors who voted Labour in 2010 but for a different party in 2015 said Ed Miliband had helped push them to another party. For those switching to the Tories, the second biggest reason was the fear that a Labour government would spend and borrow too much.
Michael Ashcroft
I told them that free people always had to decide where to draw the line between their liberty and their security. I noted that the attacks would almost certainly push us as a nation more toward security.
Michael Hayden
I love the 3D revolution. I love the technology today that continues to push the envelope, continues break the new ground, and continues to raise the bar.
Dwayne Johnson
You must push everything to the absolute limit or else life will be boring. People will be boring.
Dario Argento
A comedian needs to have his own filters, needs to know his audience, how far he can push things.
Jeff Dunham
It became clear to me that I had to push it toward a more representational way of drawing.
Joe Sacco
Never assume you can’t do something. Push yourself to redefine the boundaries.
Brian Chesky
People who know me know I have a sense of humor that can really push the envelope.
Carmen Electra
I go by intuition. Work-wise, that means asking myself if a role will push me outside my comfort zone, challenge me to learn something new.
Isabel Lucas
Irish people are still very prickly about Catholic Church. Despite all the scandals and cover-ups that have rocked the church, you can only push it so far.
Ardal O’Hanlon
I worry that there are attempts to push faith out of the public space. Clearly it happens at a level of local power.
Dominic Grieve
I also like to follow nature’s rhythm. In times or places, they have their own rhythm. So you cannot push it. So we must accept that as well. Wherever we’re born at this time, we just live it.
Bai Ling
I go to clubs and if I notice the DJs are playing the records faster, then I’ll push the beats a little on the next record I make. A lot of people don’t know how to watch out for things like that.
Jermaine Dupri
With my son, I tried not to be so judgmental and tried not to push him so hard. I didn’t want him to feel that everything or that our love for him will be based on how much he has achieved.
Dan Hill
Someone once said that to make a regular person laugh, you need to dress a guy up like an old lady and push him down the stairs. To make a comedy writer laugh, you have to push a real old lady down the stairs. I don’t know who that’s attributed to. I think it’s Aristophanes. Or Catherine the Great.
Tina Fey
I’ve got family, people that really care and want to see me succeed and push me.
Aaron Donald
I live a very different life now, with incredible privileges, but looking back I realise that growing up in Russia gave me tools that other people don’t necessarily have – such as the will to push that bit further, to make things happen, to succeed.
Natalia Vodianova
People always push the boundaries, especially when the rewards are so high financially.
Bradley Wiggins
As an actor, you want to push yourself.
Sarah Baker
You only get one shot in your life, and you might as well push yourself and try things.
Jason Statham
No matter the circumstances that you may be going through, just push through it.
Ray Lewis
Our fate is determined by how far we are prepared to push ourselves to stay alive – the decisions we make to survive. We must do whatever it takes to endure and make it through alive.
Bear Grylls
Am I pushy? Yep. Do I like taking ‘no’ for an answer when ‘no’ means New Yorkers aren’t going to get something they need? No. Do I push back and crack some eggs? Absolutely.
Christine Quinn
The most nurturing of directors can make you feel too comfortable, and you don’t really push for that extra whatever.
Malcolm McDowell
I have never knowingly, I swear to God, written satire. The word connotes exaggeration of the foibles of mankind. To me, mankind just has foibles. You don’t have to push it!
Tom Wolfe
I don’t push buttons to push buttons. Throwing the rebel card out there is really cheap.
Kacey Musgraves
Invest in a trainer. You see the progress so quickly, and you push yourself in new ways.
Camila Mendes
I was nervous. I was thinking, ‘Gee, he’s Ralph Fiennes. What an amazing actor, and I can have this scene with him.’ But I enjoyed it, you know. That’s what I got into acting to do – to push myself and see if I can do these things.
Matthew Lewis
Novelists do not write as birds sing, by the push of nature. It is part of the job that there should be much routine and some daily stuff on the level of carpentry.
William Golding
In academia in general, there’s this push toward using comics as an educational tool.
Gene Luen Yang
I put so much pressure on myself. I’m my toughest critic. I always push myself to go harder than I did last time.
Polo G
A depressed person is often a person who will push others away. If you are pushed away and pushed away and pushed away, you have to have an enormous amount of inner resources to keep going back.
Miriam Toews
The question is, What type of human do I want to be? How do I want to use my platform? Do I want to be safe, under the umbrella of my white privilege? Or do I want to push back and resist?
Macklemore
One of the challenges we set up for ‘Puscifer’ was to come up with a core identity and see how far we can push it.
Maynard James Keenan
Don’t push away that chance if you’re one of the lucky ones who find that partner. And remember, you can always change a job. I hear it’s much harder to switch out a husband.
Mika Brzezinski
My father wasn’t a hard guy. He was a well-liked guy. He had a lot of compassion about things in life. There were rules, but there was also flexibility within those rules. He didn’t push me when it came to golf: he just taught me the right way to play the game.
Tom Watson
I feel like Barack Obama, kind of in a political sense, embodies that same kind of spirit as a Q-Tip or a Santogold or a Common. I feel like there is a synergy going on here in this country and abroad. I feel like the doors are open, and it’s time to push them wide open.
Q-Tip
It’s my job… to push people out of their comfort zones. But we got to have a reason to do it. We don’t do it gratuitously.
Nancy Dubuc
I tend to push whatever is looking over my shoulder away when I am writing. It’s once the box of books arrive that I say I’m going to be pilloried for this or that. But then you realize it’s done, and there is nothing I can do. I’m proud of the book.
David Bergen
I’m trying to be global and trying to push us, as a society, to becoming colorblind, and so I’m very grateful to ABC for casting me in ‘Quantico.’ It was based on my merit, not on my ethnicity.
Priyanka Chopra
I’m always trying to push the envelope and go with a different hairstyle that you’re not going to see on anybody else. I have a really good grade of hair, and I can do a lot of different things with it.
David Otunga
We have to push aside what generally concerns us most in our thought life, namely, the content of our thoughts, and learn instead to make conscious use of the element of will in our thinking.
Rudolf Steiner
The truth is that I’m an idiot. I am. I don’t do things by the rules sometimes. I say things that I probably shouldn’t say. I push buttons. I deserve to be made fun of. And I feel like, as soon as you can make fun of something, it instantly removes the fear.
Ashton Kutcher
I’ve got leverage on a guy that’s 6-6, and I’m strong enough to push 600-plus pounds off on a double-team.
Aaron Donald
With a Nine Inch Nails show, I’m building on a legacy that comes with a certain set of expectations. I have to push that forward, I have to reinvent myself, I have to feel current and valid.
Trent Reznor
When you’re 250 pounds, you can push more people around, but you can’t move as fast or jump as high.
Draymond Green
I have a lot of respect for my fellow young actors. It takes a lot to push forward after being told no a million times, and that was what we all have to go through. So those who push deserve respect.
Colton Haynes
Every day I try to push the boundaries, and it’s paid off.
Adam Peaty
My father, who was from a wealthy family and highly educated, a lawyer, Yale and Columbia, walked out with the benefit of a healthy push from my mother, a seventh grade graduate, who took a typing course and got a secretarial job as fast as she could.
George Weinberg
I think that all the talented filmmakers sort of share, I think, a sense of allowing magic to happen; of creating a stable and secure environment for performers to feel they can push to the end of their ability.
Chiwetel Ejiofor
My own approach has always been to push intense emotions down and attempt to deal with them later.
Alanis Morissette
You don’t know how far you can go until you push it.
Dawn Richard
I’m in competition only with myself, and I always want to push the envelope.
Ekta Kapoor
I want to push technology boundaries to be more efficient.
Robert Rodriguez
For me, the most interesting people are ones who often work against their best interests. Bad choices. They go in directions where you go, ‘No no no nooo!’ You push away someone who is trying to love you, you hurt someone who’s trying to get your trust, or you love someone you shouldn’t.
Paul Haggis
I always had to genuinely like the actors I worked with and use my enthusiasm and vision to give them confidence to push their creativity and their humor.
Tamra Davis
I don’t set out to win awards. I don’t think any musician does, but when you receive an award, it’s an affirmation: it means that people appreciate what you do. Every award I have received is a confirmation of something I have done, and that motivates me to push a little harder.
Wadada Leo Smith
After ‘Punk’d,’ my company Katalyst did a deal with AOL to produce short-form content for the Web. At that time it was a different game. If you got front-page coverage on any popular website, you could probably get a push.
Ashton Kutcher
I want to push myself.
Sonny Bill Williams
So more than 8 million people lost their jobs. It’s going to take a significant push on our part and time before that comes down. I don’t anticipate it coming down rapidly.
Austan Goolsbee
You’re not going to have a 1.000 batting average, but the way you get votes is, you just push and you push. I’m not afraid to do that.
Tim Kaine
Don’t listen to the prevailing majority points of view. If you have new ideas, push them.
Leroy Hood
There are people who can’t bear to fail. Those people are on the short track as far as their careers go. You have to push hard, do hard things. But you also have to be able to say, ‘OK, today’s not the day.’
Alex Lowe
There’s the push and pull you put on yourself and the push and pull the world puts on you. Most of the time, the world’s going to win out, because it’s just logical that you should be more successful and more motivated. You can always be more.
John Krasinski
My father didn’t push me.
William Clay Ford, Jr.
There is a theory that China will tend to push, and if you bend, they will push some more.
Benigno Aquino III
This is one of the benefits, as well as one of the difficulties of directing a member of your family. You know where the buttons are. You can push them if you want.
Emilio Estevez
I think it’s important to know what you want to do and push forth with it.
Lisa
Sometimes when you get in this game, you think that you’re going to take off if you do a song with someone big. But that’s not the truth. Everything with you got to be good – the visual, the push, the production.
Gunna
Everyone thinks these are self-portraits but they aren’t meant to be. I just use myself as a model because I know I can push myself to extremes, make each shot as ugly or goofy or silly as possible.
Cindy Sherman
At first, teaching was more or less a straightforward way of making a living and having access to institutional resources while writing – aka libraries. And that was not inconsiderable. But it didn’t in any way touch the writing. Maybe it would push the writing aside sometimes, but mostly it was fine.
Alexander Chee
It’s interesting in American culture. We like to build people up and then push them off the pedestal, and then we want to see them come back. Like Britney Spears, and a lot of people, it’s what we do, and it’s not like that in other parts of the world.
Simon Rex
We don’t push back hard enough against the government. We could use, the country in general could use a more adversarial press corps, especially when it comes to matters of national security.
Matt Apuzzo
Amazing how the White House, celebrities and gun control groups happen to repeatedly push for new initiatives in an organized fashion at the same time.
Katie Pavlich
The Pirellis you can push for a couple of laps and then you’ve got to start saving. It’s not easy.
Lando Norris
You have to learn to get comfortable being uncomfortable. You have to be willing to get out of your comfort zone and push your limits.
Jesse Itzler
I had to learn not to let anyone push me around, to be brave and to say things I knew might make people mad.
Ina May Gaskin
My job in Congress is to identify projects with federal or some other public component and then to push developers to provide employment opportunities to neighborhood residents.
Hakeem Jeffries
Health has always been an important thing to me. I exercise and try to take care of myself, and drink a lot of water! And I push that to my kids so that they can carry on that same energy.
Doug E. Fresh
Abject poverty, political instability, torture, and other abuses push thousands across our border. There is not a deterrent imaginable that equals the conditions that force their migration.
Greg Boyle
I try not to push myself too hard, but I also need to perform and earn the results.
Im Dong-Hyun
I like to tread uncharted territory and push myself in terms of performance.
Mahesh Babu
We writers are shy, nocturnal creatures. Push us into the light and the light blinds us.
John Banville
I know what I bring to the table, I know my work. That’s why I’m able to push for what I want.
Israel Adesanya
Our fate is determined by how far we are prepared to push ourselves to stay alive – the decisions we make to survive. We must do whatever it takes to endure and make it through alive.
Bear Grylls
If you consume too much salt, it can cause water retention. When this happens, your body usually responds by raising your blood pressure to push excess fluid and salt out of your system.
Michael Greger
I guess I’ve always wanted to push the boundaries as an actor.
Alessandro Nivola
We don’t want to push our ideas on to customers, we simply want to make what they want.
Laura Ashley
My style during the day is very casual – boyfriend jeans, T-shirts, Converse, Uggs, whatever. At night, I love heels and thigh-highs, I like something fresh and new, and I’m not afraid to push the envelope.
Katie Cassidy
Television is like the American toaster, you push the button and the same thing pops up everytime.
Alfred Hitchcock
What we need in Europe is to push back against the idea that religion is so farfetched that it’s not worth talking about.
Francis Spufford
Everybody either wanted to take care of me or push me around, you know? I was teased a lot, sure I was, of course. Fourth grade, fifth grade, sixth grade, everybody was taking their spurts except me. I was not growing up.
Linda Hunt
Chips will continue to shrink, of course. We, along with other semiconductor companies, are continuing to push toward the next goal of 10 nm, but going beyond 10 nm will require the development of new technologies, materials, and manufacturing processes that are still being perfected.
Henry Samueli
I try to push and find something awkward. The gems to me are truly awkward situations, and you have to have somebody who’s willing to fail because those can’t be conceived. They never play if they’re thought about and discussed too much. You have to create them right at the moment and look for something honest.
Gore Verbinski
I like to dress up and look nice. I’m not quite at the stage yet financially to do that too often, but it’s nice to push the boat out a little bit for award ceremonies and stuff.
Simon Bird
‘Sweet Genius’ viewers will be on the edge of their seats as we continue to push the limits with inspirations and ingredients, while showcasing the talents of some of the best pastry chefs around. As a result, the desserts that the chefs create are truly outrageous.
Ron Ben-Israel
It matters that we have balance and facts and push people when they need to be pushed so that we can give the accurate, fair, balanced piece to the viewer, and then it’s up to the viewer to be the judge.
Brooke Baldwin
You always have to be ready. When I’m washing dishes, I have to have a towel ready so I can dry my hands and push the record button on my phone.
Gretchen Parlato
Did you know that they introduced the 15 percent flat tax on individual and corporate income in Iraq? Something that some politicians very much wanted to push in the United States without success but in Iraq they do it.
Juan Cole
At the end of a marathon, it’s going to hurt whether you’re speeding up or slowing down. You may as well push.
Summer Sanders
I push myself hard. I don’t like pain, exactly, but as a ballerina, I lived in constant pain. At ballet school in Stockholm, I remember we had a locker where if someone had been to the doctor and gotten painkillers, we divided them among us. In a sense, we were all addicted.
Alicia Vikander
I’m a performer. I push the envelope, I work in a very uncontrolled manner onstage. I do a lot of free association, it’s spontaneous, I go into character.
Michael Richards
‘Who Fears Death’ addresses the push and pull in African culture that powerful women face when their culture has certain duties and beliefs that can stifle them.
Nnedi Okorafor
I never hand in a book until it’s completed. Richard Jackson then reads it and asks me to clarify murky points. We work very well together. He knows how hard to push, and I know how hard to push back. He’s the only person who can criticize my work without me throwing a hissy fit.
Nancy Farmer
If the people of New Zealand want to be part of our world, I believe they should hop off their islands, and push ’em closer.
Lewis Black
I have done a lot of work for affordable housing, rental housing. I understand the rap on me and other liberals is, oh, we push poor people into homeownership. And it’s exactly the opposite of the case. We were trying to prevent those kinds of bad loans.
Barney Frank
Push yourself again and again. Don’t give an inch until the final buzzer sounds.
Larry Bird
Weeks go by, and I don’t paint until finally I can’t stand it any longer. I get fed up. I almost don’t want to talk about it, because I don’t want to become self-conscious about it, but perhaps I create these little crises as a kind of a secret strategy to push myself.
Gerhard Richter
We had a pretty good lead, so why push it.
David Wells
I think I am looking as an actor to find ways to push myself into places I haven’t been before as a human being.
Brit Marling
Running is a great metaphor for life. You set a goal, and then you get to work. How well you do is a direct reflection of how hard you work. It’s a mental game, too. There are setbacks along the way, but the true test of a runner is how you overcome and push past them.
Ivanka Trump
Why do you all push us around?
Rosa Parks
Like solo sailors venturing into the Southern Ocean, climbers are seduced by risk. The desire to push to a summit or scale a rock face is so strong that they consciously or subconsciously minimize safety precautions drilled into their brains.
Charles Duhigg
Twyla’s works are complex, and they really push you as an athlete and push you spiritually as well. Before doing a Twyla ballet, you have to get everything in order: You have to get a good night’s sleep, you have to eat well, you have to be in great shape, and then you just go and leave it all out there.
Sascha Radetsky
I like to push the limit to how much air we can put in the football, even go over what they allow you to do and see if the officials take air out of it.
Aaron Rodgers
I remind myself that, though there was a time anxiety might have stopped me, today is not that day. And so, by checking in with myself, minute by minute, I push myself through.
Zazie Beetz
As creatives, it’s a hard thing to push, to make something you’re truly excited about, especially if you’ve written 100 different concepts and they keep getting shot down.
Spike Jonze
More eccentric characters can push pretty far, but if you stay on the side of reality, it’s always funnier.
Melissa McCarthy
I’ve always thought that if Israel really wanted to solve the problem, they’d just start tomorrow and push right to the Jordan River, and anything in their way goes. They don’t need America or someone else to help.
Bruce Dern
I did try theatre out when I was little. I did roles as a child actress. My parents didn’t push me into it. But I was up for it. I didn’t enjoy doing eight shows a week, though. That repetitiveness didn’t appeal to me. I love doing something different every day and travelling. You can’t do that in the theatre.
Eliza Doolittle
I think the power of Stieg Larsson’s stories is that he has the guts to show the hidden spots in the side of Sweden. That gave us a push to say that for the first time. That they can’t have with the American version.
Michael Nyqvist
You just have to surround yourself with people who are going to support and love you before trying to sell you as a product, or push you into something you don’t want to do.
Jamie Bell
It is exactly in tough times when we discover our full potential, it allows our mind and body to push ourselves beyond our limits.
Leonardo Bonucci
You don’t have to change who you are for anyone: if you are your regular, authentic, confident self, then you can push to do whatever you want.
Marsai Martin
Slump, and the world slumps with you. Push, and you push alone.
Laurence J. Peter
Happiness is a ball after which we run wherever it rolls, and we push it with our feet when it stops.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
People would like better batteries but they are wary of making investments. What is required is both a technology push and a market pull.
Donald Sadoway
I support women, men, anybody who is in a place that’s not their strongest and who is ready to push forward.
Jennifer Aniston
I’ve always thought that, as a romance writer, I had the best job in the world. I sit around all day making up emotion-drenched, conflict-laden stories that push my heroes and heroines to the edge of sanity. Then I give them a happy ending.
Ruth Glick
I look at directing as a sporting event. It’s a race, a marathon. It’s great when it clicks, which is why I push my crews so hard so we can excel.
Michael Bay
You have to push yourself.
Gael Monfils
I watched World’s Strongest Man growing up on TV and I just loved all of that, so I decided to enter a Strongman contest – just for fun. Really. For no other reason than that I just wanted to compete in something and push myself. I ended up loving it from the get-go and also found that I was very gifted.
Brian Shaw
I’ve always been DJing; it’s just I’m making more of a push for it, making it more public.
Idris Elba
That’s what we want to do here at Johnson Space Center. I think what we have always brought to NASA and brought to the country is trying to push the boundaries, trying to go to the next level.
Ellen Ochoa
It seems like the good things that have happened in my career are things that you don’t try to plan and push, and make it happen, it just seems to happen.
Wanda Jackson
My little self-analysis is that consumer technology is the closest thing we have to magic. You push a button and something happens at your command. The things that get me fired up the most have always been the things that seem the most magical.
David Pogue
Rather than proposing a forward-looking energy initiative, House Republicans continue to push Big Oil’s tired old ideas, ideas that will do absolutely nothing to lower gas prices for the American consumer.
Jan Schakowsky
Growing up, I would have to watch the other children and learn from my mistakes. I would have to push myself to overcome the things most people don’t have to think about. Brushing my teeth was very difficult because of the noise of the brush.
Daniel Tammet
Well, the oil, the oil spot, if you will, is a, is a term in counterinsurgency literature that connotes a peaceful area, secure area. So what you’re trying to do is to always extend that, to push that out.
David Petraeus
In a way, I envy the freedom artists have. Artists can push themselves beyond their limits, in pursuit of their ideas and their vision, even if they are inhabited by demons that can also play tricks on them.
Carine Roitfeld
If you don’t really have a dream, you can’t really push yourself; you don’t really know what the target is.
MS Dhoni
Israel is a wonderful place to be an artist – a place where imagination flourishes. Israeli culture is refreshingly avant garde – making films, music, performance art and visual art that continues to push the envelope, inspire and empower.
Ryan Kavanaugh
It makes me nuts, the idea that if you put a political struggle at the heart of your book, then it has to be that the author – me – is trying in some way to push my views onto my readers.
Ruth Ozeki
The open and generous nature of the American people has the capacity to astonish and push boundaries. We crowdfund, sign petitions, dump buckets of ice on ourselves, and embrace new ways of relating to our environment.
Blase J. Cupich
I keep my old friends, and get older with them, but push young. It’s good to be surrounded by kids, because they keep you young.
Carine Roitfeld
I really think that you have to find a partner that compliments you and is somebody that pushes you and is better at some things than you are, so they can push you to improve yourself as a person. That’s my take.
Ashton Kutcher
I tend to walk through life sort of looking through a pair of binoculars, and I focus on certain things and push out the rest.
Tommy Caldwell
The doughy-faced woman has been forced to sit on the sidelines of culture for too long, and it’s now time for us to stand up with our big round faces like the moon and say we have things to say, too. We have a round-faced agenda we want to push.
Caitlin Moran
You take yourself to a place where you’ve got absolutely nothing left and then you find out you have to push yourself one more step. That’s a tough place to be in.
Bryan Clay
I’m the worst employer I could wish for because I push myself hard.
Irvine Welsh
During my career several people have tried to push me out the door… Nobody has succeeded yet.
Ferdinand Piech
If you want to make an audience laugh, you dress a man up like an old lady and push her down the stairs. If you want to make comedy writers laugh, you push an actual old lady down the stairs.
Tina Fey
Writing is like bricklaying; you put down one word after another. Sometimes the wall goes up straight and true and sometimes it doesn’t and you have to push it down and start again, but you don’t stop; it’s your trade.
Geraldine Brooks
I grew up in such a featureless, personality-less suburb. There was nothing to push against.
Patton Oswalt
We push experience aside and forget about people far too quickly.
Tony Pulis
I call my therapist every other day. It’s not a one-stop shop. You have to push away all that negativity in your head. Face it, name it, let it go.
Fergie
When I go on the set, I’m so rushed. When I see the actors at rehearsal, when I love it, I want to keep the mood – my mood and the actors’ mood also. So I have to push the crew faster. I don’t want to lose the mood.
Andrew Lau
As anyone who has covered the company for any length of time knows, Yahoo’s record on major decision-making has been akin to a hippie commune – a lot of wrangling internally in a culture where everyone seems to have a voice and a reticence to push the button to launch.
Kara Swisher
Love won’t be tampered with, love won’t go away. Push it to one side and it creeps to the other.
Louise Erdrich
I didn’t push Cory. I wanted him to decide if he wanted to go into boxing and he did. Can’t blame it on me.
Leon Spinks
Obviously, overall infrastructure needs on the Southwest and Northern borders are mounting. We need a major push in Congress to remedy this.
Pete Domenici
I think there are hardships with anything you do. And for us, we have our fans, who give us so much love and support. So, that helps us push forth with whatever we are doing, and it will continue to do that in the future.
Jisoo
No one can tell you what to do or push you around. It gives you a secure feeling. That’s the best thing about money.
Joe Mansueto
I haven’t been worried about my image so much as I have been trying to find projects to push myself further than before.
Cameron Diaz
Of course, rivals do affect athletes mentally, but if you are competing with top-notch athletes, you will push each other, you will encourage each other.
Liu Xiang
Losing both parents at a young age gave me a sense that you can’t really control life – so you’d better live it while it’s here. I stopped believing in a storybook existence a long time ago. All you can do is push in a direction and see what comes of it.
Jon Hamm
Nobody has ever gotten a bigger push than Bill Clinton gave to Obama.
Mario Cuomo
You don’t need to know this – but here goes: due to some acquired infantilism, I feel compelled to fall asleep listening to the radio. On a good night, I’ll push the frail barque of my psyche off into the waters of Lethe accompanied by the midnight newsreader – on a bad one, it’s the shipping forecast.
Will Self
Young people are already leading on climate action. I see it at rallies to reject the Keystone XL dirty tar sands pipeline. I see it in the push to demand justice for communities being run over by fracking operations.
Frances Beinecke
I try and take lots of vitamins and I don’t drink. I do smoke, though, I’d be insufferable if I didn’t smoke, you’d have to push me off a balcony I’d be so boring.
Kate Beckinsale
If the people of New Zealand want to be part of our world, I believe they should hop off their islands, and push ’em closer.
Lewis Black
From an egotistical point of view, I’m always interested in roles that push me as a person. I’m interested in humans as animals and as products of society.
Tom Cullen
I watched World’s Strongest Man growing up on TV and I just loved all of that, so I decided to enter a Strongman contest – just for fun. Really. For no other reason than that I just wanted to compete in something and push myself. I ended up loving it from the get-go and also found that I was very gifted.
Brian Shaw
I tend to walk through life sort of looking through a pair of binoculars, and I focus on certain things and push out the rest.
Tommy Caldwell
I often felt as a player in a 4-4-2, you end up being outnumbered in midfield and chasing the ball, so as a manager I liked wingbacks to push forward; it gives the midfield player on the ball three or four options.
Glenn Hoddle
What I find really interesting is to try and mix it up, to push myself and try different things. I don’t want to stay in my comfort zone. I want to take risks and keep myself scared.
Michael Fassbender
I do not know You, God, because I am in the way. Please help me to push myself aside.
Flannery O’Connor
True basketball coaches are great teachers and you do not humiliate, you do not physically go after, you do not push or shove, you do not berate, if you are a true coach. If you humiliate or curse them, that won’t do it. Coaches like that are not coaches.
Morgan Wootten
I’m so happy people are seeing the eclectic side of me. I’m really honored to be able to push my voice into different sounds. Otherwise it all gets a bit samey same.
Jessie J
The next big push in my life is trying to get poetry popular again.
Joshua Sasse
The stronger you stand on your principles, the easier it is to fight. The first time, it’s tough, but the second time, it’s always easier. You just have to push for your rights.
Shaffi Mather
Directors have to push me. I have to be pushed up. Not all the time, but often.
Catherine Deneuve
I’m in the business to push it. I’m not likely to be attracted to characters I’ve already done.
Mark Harmon
I’ve always had to train harder than others to get the oxygen to my muscles because of my lung capacity. I have to push myself past the point of being comfortable.
Charlie White
I really didn’t like ‘Done With Mirrors.’ I really didn’t like ‘Just Push Play.’ Then there are other records I really think were good for their time, like ‘Toys and Rocks.’
Joe Perry
I have tons of regrets, but I think that’s one of the reasons that push people to create things. Out of their angst, their regret, comes the best from artists, painters and writers.
Sylvester Stallone
My theory is, independent movies only work if you’re willing to push the material and do something different.
Balthazar Getty
There’s a reason why bullying takes such a strong form online. People don’t have to push back as much as they would in real life.
Bridgit Mendler
I push myself in a lot of aspects when I write a song. I write a piece and where most people would stop and say, ‘Oh, that’s the hook right there,’ I’ll move that to the first four bars of the verse and do a new hook.
Drake
I write the vocals last, because I wanted to invent the music first and push the music to the level that I had to compete against it.
Axl Rose
Even if the doctor does not give you a year, even if he hesitates about a month, make one brave push and see what can be accomplished in a week.
Robert Louis Stevenson
That’s how I like to do it with actors, have them really go for it and I’ll tell them when it’s too much. It’s always easier to bring it back then to push it further.
Alexander Payne
I think that the hardest thing about working with young people in foster care who’ve been through this kind of neglect and abuse is really to convince them that they are worthy of being loved. And I think because often they don’t feel worthy of it, that’s why they push people away.
Vanessa Diffenbaugh
Once my pilot and I push and jump into the sled, I hold on for dear life in the back while she skillfully and hopefully quickly navigates the two of us down a mile of icy, often bumpy, sharp right and left turns. I then pull the brakes at the end.
Lauren Gibbs
I thought that making movies was drab. I’d lived through that. And I didn’t want to use my parents, ever… They didn’t want to push me into this business.
Liza Minnelli
I would really like to do a really cool one-hour show, maybe on, like, HBO or something like that; or something that I’ve spent a couple of years developing so it would be exactly the character and exactly in with a huge push behind it; or I would maybe want to do a sitcom; something light and funny.
Jennifer Love Hewitt
The discipline it takes to train and push past discomfort and continually grow through both trial and error and critique are things that translate really well into the process of running for office.
Sharice Davids
I try to push ideas away, and the ones that will not leave me alone are the ones that ultimately end up happening.
J. J. Abrams
The idea that I could push the envelope using dedication and research and endless curiosity has propelled me in my life’s work.
Randy Schekman
Greed and Gain, grim guardians of the great god Mammon, continually cry in the ears of the poor, ‘Give us your little ones!’ And forever do the poor push out their little ones at the imperious ukase, feeding the children to a blind Hunger that is never filled.
Edwin Markham
The trick at Le Mans is to get the car ‘in the window.’ Everything is critical: the tyre pressure, the brake temperature, and that means you have to push the car a lot to get it into the window – it’s about getting everything to work right and getting the car to flow through the corners.
Tom Kristensen
When you don’t have people in your life pushing you, can you push yourself?
Tori Amos
I love a lot of high speed turns, turns where you have to push yourself, force yourself to go fast. Then there’s something telling your foot to lift off, because it’s so fast, and it’s impressive when you get that feeling and just drive on.
Jacques Villeneuve
Bobsledding is like sprinting with NASCAR. You get to push these 400-pound sleds as fast as you can down a hill and hop in. How could you not enjoy that?
Elana Meyers
Some people thrive under pressure, but pressure can also ruin your performance, it can push you down angles which you don’t want to go.
Henry Cavill
I push myself hard. I don’t like pain, exactly, but as a ballerina, I lived in constant pain. At ballet school in Stockholm, I remember we had a locker where if someone had been to the doctor and gotten painkillers, we divided them among us. In a sense, we were all addicted.
Alicia Vikander
Sometimes I just like the feeling of being a minority and seeing how far you can push yourself in extreme circumstances.
Tom Freston
Why can’t it be awesome to work for a food company? Why can’t we create an environment where people are trying to push each other to do great things, and we’re not trying to steal from anybody – we’re trying to be good to our farmers and run an honorable business, if there is such a thing anymore?
David Chang
The policies the Left wants to push are both morally and financially bankrupt.
Madison Cawthorn
I believe that education is all about being excited about something. Seeing passion and enthusiasm helps push an educational message.
Steve Irwin
I think you have to do certain things in the pilot to get your network’s attention – to break through… So maybe you push a little further in the first show.
D. B. Sweeney
We push experience aside and forget about people far too quickly.
Tony Pulis
If I am pushed I will push back, that is the way I am. I am very British. We don’t like to be pushed around. When the chips are down we might have to step into grey areas.
Damon Hill
When you get told that you have a disease, it’s like: ‘Really? Nah, it’s all right. I don’t believe that. It must be something else, I’m just making an excuse, let me push harder.’
Venus Williams
You want to provide for your family, of course, but you also want them to come along on the journey with you. I haven’t achieved all I want to with my life, so I need to continue to push myself.
Michael Easton
For years, American officials visiting China marvelled at how Chinese leaders could push through infrastructure projects and sweeping legislative changes without the complications of opposition and the niceties of voting.
Evan Osnos
Most of my fights, I push the pace. I’m the aggressor.
Clay Guida
We must solve the problem in health care by curbing out-of-control costs that erode paychecks for working families and push quality coverage out of reach for millions of Americans.
Paul Ryan
I don’t quite operate within the realist mode. I kind of push the stories out towards the cusp of believability – that’s the area of interest for me.
Kevin Barry
Often we women are risk averse. I needed the push. Now, more than ever, young women need more seasoned women to provide that encouragement, to take a risk, to go for it. Once a glass ceiling is broken, it stays broken.
Jennifer Granholm
I’m not totally altruistic. I’ve always had great career ambitions. But it has to come out in an organic way. If you push yourself out beyond where you are supposed to be, there’s this pressure.
David Friedman
I have my good and bad days, but when it’s tough I just push through it.
Christie Rampone
When I started running, the pain barrier was very familiar to me, and I had no problem pushing beyond the pain. When for your whole life, every single workout, you are programmed to push beyond belief, it’s really hard to just turn that off and kind of just be a social competitor.
Summer Sanders
Go to the young conductors who are not making it, and you will hear how we shouldn’t push ourselves or sell ourselves, how they don’t have the right connections and the right opportunities. Well, you can be sure they’ve had the opportunities.
Zubin Mehta
I always did something I was a little not ready to do. I think that’s how you grow. When there’s that moment of ‘Wow, I’m not really sure I can do this,’ and you push through those moments, that’s when you have a breakthrough.
Marissa Mayer
We are pushing the limits on the chassis and the engine sides a lot in order to have a competitive car, and this is why we are winning races, but also, if you push the limits at a certain stage, you find them.
Toto Wolff
When push comes to shove, it ain’t the science that’s going to lift you up – it’s the belief, the spiritual side of life, that’s going to lift you up, no matter what religion you are.
Kirstie Alley
Every day, I’m trying to push the boundaries creatively, and sometimes it does push the boundary too far, and that’s what I had to learn.
Jake Paul
I refuse to totally grow up. I’ve always been someone who says and does things that push politically correct boundaries.
Robbie Williams
A highly visible, shared identity can help bring activists from different backgrounds together with a common sense of purpose and push for change more effectively – from the global stage to within their own communities and families.
Efua Dorkenoo
Either the opponents of slavery will arrest the further spread of it and place it where the public mind shall rest in the belief that it is in course of ultimate extinction, or its advocates will push it forward, till it shall become alike lawful in all the States – old as well as new – North as well as South.
Abraham Lincoln
Part of your job as an artist is to push yourself and make sure your creative juices are flowing.
Benjamin Walker
You’ve got to push yourself harder. You’ve got to start looking for pictures nobody else could take. You’ve got to take the tools you have and probe deeper.
William Albert Allard
I can’t bear the thought of my mother having to push me around in a wheelchair. I’d rather die quickly.
Felix Baumgartner
My favorite job is the next one. It’s such a gratifying experience getting to creatively keep trying something new and push things in a different direction.
Roger Craig Smith
Never set limits, go after your dreams, don’t be afraid to push the boundaries. And laugh a lot – it’s good for you!
Paula Radcliffe
I think every guy that hits his 40s has a little bit of a wake-up call and wants to just keep things real, as they say, and just to push yourself.
Bill Rancic
You have to push yourself when you’re older because it’s very easy to fall into the trap. You start to fall apart – you just have to do your best to paste yourself together. I think doing things and being active is very important. When your mind is busy, you don’t hurt so much.
Iris Apfel
Imperfection and perfection go so hand in hand, and our dark and our light are so intertwined, that by trying to push the darkness or the so-called negative aspects of our life to the side… we are preventing ourselves from the fullness of life.
Jeff Bridges
Being a mother is more exhausting than working, and sometimes I push myself too hard and burn myself out. I can appreciate how exhausting it must be for women who have to do everything themselves all the time.
Salma Hayek
My workout is always with a trainer because, quite honestly, I don’t think most people are motivated enough to do what they need to on their own. You either need a spotter or you need a trainer. You need somebody there to push you to get that extra five.
Paul Stanley
Advocacy groups and voters are not wrong to push candidates to declare their position clearly on policy issues. That is good citizenship. Hard questions should be asked of every candidate, every politician. And those public servants should be prepared to answer, but in their own words.
Mark McKinnon
You cannot push any one up a ladder unless he be willing to climb a little himself.
Andrew Carnegie
You only get one shot in your life, and you might as well push yourself and try things.
Jason Statham
I could live my whole life being so comfortable doing things I’ve already worked hard to not be nervous at, or I could continue to push the envelope and make myself uncomfortable and learn and see what I’m capable of, and acting is definitely that.
Ruby Rose
Imperfection and perfection go so hand in hand, and our dark and our light are so intertwined, that by trying to push the darkness or the so-called negative aspects of our life to the side… we are preventing ourselves from the fullness of life.
Jeff Bridges
You have to identify your shot and be ‘Push your luck’ ready for it.
D. B. Sweeney
The people of South Carolina support conservatives who are trying to push real change, and the people of South Carolina expect their presidential candidates to back them up when they show courage.
Nikki Haley
If at the end of May we don’t, we’ll reform, regroup, decide how we’re going to go about it, but if the task force can’t come up with the bill, I’m going to push mine, and go ahead and make the changes in it that we’ve been working on now for a year or two and just go for it.
Charlie Norwood
One, I push my deadlines closer than anybody else, or let’s say it this way: I’m really late.
Aaron McGruder
Luck, like a Russian car, generally only works if you push it.
Tom Holt
These are the sort of things that push you on in music – the curiosity, a passion for new ideas.
Elvis Costello
Music always turns into music. As soon as I play a key, push a key down, there’s no theory any more. When I go and I hear a sound on the keyboard, all theories go out the window.
Keith Jarrett
Sometimes I feel like I’m not only the engine but the caboose. I have to be in the front car and pull forward, and at the same time run around behind and push everybody along with me.
Sandra Lee
If you push down that pyramid of power and spread out the base, every member gets a chance to file their bill and have it heard and file their amendment and have it heard, as opposed to the system that we have now, which closes out, closes down bills, limits debate, and so forth.
Dan Webster
I kept wanting to push my image as validity; I wanted to see my portrait on a wall and know it was okay.
Toyin Odutola
It’s a rough and tumble game whenever power is involved – people’s ambitions, their desires, their competitive spirit will often push them to play outside the rules. It’s dramatic, it’s interesting, and I think it’s something we can all identify with to a degree.
Beau Willimon
I have a company in the U.K., a performance-capture studio. We’re looking to push the boundaries of performance-capture technology in film and video games, but also in live theater, using real-time performance capture with actors onstage, and combining that with holographic imagery.
Andy Serkis
The role of a DJ is being able to keep people on the floor for X amount of hours so you can’t just push buttons to do that, you have to have good tracks and a knowledge of where to take people.
Jonas Blue
Never give up. There are always tough times, regardless of what you do in anything in life. Be able to push through those times and maintain your ultimate goal.
Nathan Chen
In army, I went to Kashmir and did well, which was a challenge. In sports, I went to Olympics at a time when no one believed that we can actually win. Coming into politics was also a challenge as I wanted to push the youth to achieve gold in various fields of life.
Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore
I’m probably tougher on myself than I used to be. I’ll revise my lyrics more. Part of that is working with the right people and producers who will say, ‘How can you make that better?’ Allowing yourself to collaborate with people will push you toward transcendence.
John Legend
The body of work I create combines traditional storylines and postmodern narrative strategies to approach themes such as belonging, identity politics and conflict, as well as the push towards – and resistance against – modernization.
Aman Mojadidi
My advice to young actors is to push yourself and to aspire to be great.
Adriane Lenox
If you want to make an audience laugh, you dress a man up like an old lady and push her down the stairs. If you want to make comedy writers laugh, you push an actual old lady down the stairs.
Tina Fey
Drone attacks subvert the rule of law – we become judge, jury, and executioner – at the push of a button.
Mark McKinnon
I thrive on obstacles. If I’m told that it can’t be told, then I push harder.
Issa Rae
When I was about five, I gave my heart to Jesus Christ, and since then it’s just been a stronghold in my life. Really, through the shark attack and all the hard times that my family and I went through, it gave us unity and perseverance to push through all this crazy stuff that we never knew was going to happen.
Bethany Hamilton
Men don’t know enough about being courteous toward women. You should get into a cab before a woman so she doesn’t have to slide across the seat. And you should always go first into a revolving door so she doesn’t have to push – unless it’s moving, then let her go first.
Thom Browne
I love that duality of Wonder Woman: that she both wants peace and means peace, but when push comes to shove and someone needs to be put down like a dog, that’s what she would be willing to do.
Patty Jenkins
I’m always trying to push myself to the limit to see what I can do. It’s my strong will that I’ve always had since I was a kid.
Simone Biles
There’s a hunger and a fervor that I have, but there’s no person I’m going to push to the side to get where I’m going. I want to create my own road.
Drew Barrymore
You know, you don’t work 30 something years in this business without knowing how to push yourself. So, I just kept pushing myself and pushing myself. The other thing that happens is when your hormones get out of whack your emotions come up.
Marie Osmond
Push your luck. If you see a pretty girl in a bar, say something.
D. B. Sweeney
The connectivity declaration is about uniting the whole industry – a lot of companies that typically compete very fiercely – to push in a coherent direction.
Mark Zuckerberg
It’s funny, I probably have 500 pairs of shoes – all these sneakers or whatever that I’ve collected – but when push comes to shove, I always end up wearing the same two or three pairs.
Kenny Stills
I just push myself as hard as I can, in training and games.
Aaron Mooy
As you can probably tell, the push to develop talent in Africa is personal. I grew up there. I played there. I know how much talent there is. We have to concentrate on building facilities, establishing successful leagues and finding investors to help young players.
Masai Ujiri
If you want to grow old as a pilot, you’ve got to know when to push it, and when to back off.
Chuck Yeager
I wanted to try to push some freedom into the men’s clothes.
Miuccia Prada
To push behind the dog sled and run in front of the dog sled. That was always an interesting job.
Ann Bancroft
All the textbooks talk about avoidance as a classic hallmark of anxiety disorder. So you need a therapist who is sympathetic and understanding but will also push you to do precisely the things that scare you.
Scott Stossel
It’s the golden age of French cinema again but it’s because Sarkozy had the guts to push through copyright law.
Harvey Weinstein
What you do is you’re using the other competitors to push yourself, because it’s so hard to push yourself.
Ashton Eaton
Now, I am not saying that there is one single type of individual who is a better type of terrorist than another. What I am saying is that the circumstances that push certain individuals over the edge, to become terrorists, are generally very, very similar.
Loretta Napoleoni
In a basic sense, ‘A Little Life’ is a homage to how my friends and I live our lives. I wanted to push past the definitions of how we typically define friendship. It’s a different version of adulthood, but it’s no less important and no less legitimate than anyone else’s.
Hanya Yanagihara
As a director, I have the greatest job in the world, but if I don’t push the boundaries, then what’s the point of having it?
Casey Neistat
Because my dad died when I was young, and I have a severely disabled sister, I couldn’t really push the envelope at home.
Rory Kinnear
The idea of harnessing the intelligence of the readership has been lost in the quest for Facebook likes. For many, readers have become synonymous with hateful commenters. It’s time for a renewed push to realize some of the original dreams of the web.
Nick Denton
The nativism behind the push to repeal or amend the Fourteenth is ugly and obvious.
Eric Liu
Sound should bring you in. We have people in all these specialized departments to make it one whole. They are supposed to work together to bring us into their world, not push us away. For example, rock music has to be loud, but it doesn’t have to be too loud.
Donna McKechnie
If you don’t really have a dream, you can’t really push yourself; you don’t really know what the target is.
MS Dhoni
Most of the time in the 21st century, we dominate our surroundings: We tweak the thermostat, and the temperature falls one degree. We push a button, and Taylor Swift sings for us. It’s the opposite in the wilderness, which teaches us constantly that we are not lords of the universe but rather building blocks of it.
Nicholas Kristof
Within our lifetimes, we will be able to push out enough computational power to simulate reality.
Tim Sweeney
I will continue to push for doubling the strength of the U.S. Border Patrol, and to make sure that every cargo container that enters this nation is screened for radiation and potential weapons of mass destruction.
Nick Lampson
Teamwork. That’s the biggest lesson you can learn from competing in NCAA gymnastics. Everyone just has to work together, you have to trust in everyone, and everyone has to push you to become the gymnast you want to be.
Sam Mikulak
The guitar is something you kind of embrace, and the piano is something you kind of – when you play it, you sort of push it away. It feels very different.
Nick Cave
We keep calling for accountability and reinvestment and a push for all of us to imagine a world where black people are not policed but instead supported and loved and cared for. Where our families can feel safe and inspired and protected.
Patrisse Cullors
I have siblings. And there are certain things I know that I can push their buttons. And they know they have certain things where they can push mine.
Catherine Zeta-Jones
I think video games are a huge part of our society now. Having kids play baseball video games helps them understand and love the game. It could actually push them to get out there and play the game for real. That’s great for the sport.
Justin Verlander
When it kind of went to ‘Street Fighter’, where you had to push 13 buttons with all 13 of your fingers and ripped the spine out of somebody, you know, violent games lost the women. Complexity lost the casual gamer.
Nolan Bushnell
As a designer, you’ve always got to push yourself forward; you’ve always got to keep up with the trends or make your own trends. That’s what I do.
Alexander McQueen
You have to really respect what your kids are doing with their kids and how they’re raising them. You can’t push your way into areas where you shouldn’t be saying anything. You have to always remember they’re not your own kids. Play with them, love them, spoil them to death – then hand them back.
Billy Crystal
Pull the string, and it will follow wherever you wish. Push it, and it will go nowhere at all.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
If you die in an elevator, be sure to push the Up button.
Sam Levenson
I’m very lucky in that my agent and my editors know better. They don’t push me. Because I don’t take that well.
Judy Blume
I am human like everyone else. I am aware that there are people who look up to me. When mistakes are made, they aren’t intentional, and I constantly push myself to be a better person.
Vanessa Hudgens
I’ve never let people push me around in politics.
John Glenn
I think I would much rather push the boundaries of the degradation that the characters face.
Dave Rowntree
My audience consists mainly of people who already recognize how bad this culture is, and I want to push them to become more radical. It doesn’t really matter to me if they are Left or Right.
Derrick Jensen
We’re helping those children who cannot help themselves and giving a push to those who can. We’ve done it by working together for a common purpose. I see no reason to stop now.
Jane D. Hull
You see, revolution sounds like something that happens, like turning on the light switch, but actually it’s moving a large obstacle, and a lot of folks’ efforts to push it in one direction or the other have to combine.
Gil Scott-Heron
We got to know the competition very well. In the ’50s popcorn made a big growth in sales. Our main push was to produce the best quality and sell in quality retail outlets.
Orville Redenbacher
I don’t feel particularly comfortable about actors using whatever power they may have to push their beliefs, unless they’re extremely well informed.
Ralph Fiennes
You hope and pray that you’ll get involved with a director that you understand and who has the same sensibility as you do and knows how to push you and bring out the best in you.
Matthew Modine
I just would like to be challenged. I want to push myself to the limit, and constantly challenge myself and grow as an artist. That’s where I want to go. Explore different things, different characters, in film, and just everything!
Imani Hakim
If my son wants a boxing career, I won’t stop him, but I definitely won’t push him. It’s bad for a kid to be pressured.
Gerry Cooney
When I’m writing, I separate from everyone. Even my band. I push myself, and I’m alone with my thoughts. Separating from friends and comforts and family lets you think a lot deeper about subject matter. Working alone drives me a little crazy, but it makes the writing as honest as possible.
Vic Fuentes
If you don’t stand your ground, then all that happens is people push you backwards.
Jordan Peterson
I’m always trying to push for women’s rights.
Kate del Castillo
I put the words down and push them a bit.
Evelyn Waugh
It seems pretentious to assume that we are not creatures of action. I think often it takes a situation of extreme absurdity, extreme action, to push us to the limits of what our character is, and to change us as people.
Eleanor Catton
Deeper fulfilment is rather different from the happiness of seeing a good film or watching your team win at football, and it doesn’t come at the push of a button.
Geoff Mulgan
There’s no such thing as saying that we’ll ever find the ultimate cause of stuff. We can only work to push our understanding one step further.
John C. Mather
Happiness comes only when we push our brains and hearts to the farthest reaches of which we are capable.
Leo Rosten
Tyre management has always been part of the qualifying strategy and the race itself. I don’t know about others; I just know that I always push as much as I can to obtain the best result possible.
Romain Grosjean
You have to believe in yourself, challenge yourself, and push yourself until the very end; that’s the only way you’ll succeed.
G-Dragon
Mentoring is a brain to pick, an ear to listen, and a push in the right direction.
John C. Crosby
Dogs are forever in the push up postion.
Mitch Hedberg
Jamming with other people will create energy and excitement that you can feed off, and which will help push you to do things you’d never dream of doing by yourself.
Dimebag Darrell
The Yale group was doing the Harold. So by our senior year we were trying to do the Harold. Again, we had no idea what we were doing. We had one guy in the group who was pretty experimental; he would kind of push us to do weird things. It was really fun, a great experience.
Rachel Dratch
When I first started in the industry back home in Australia at 18, there was a lot of push and shove as to how I should dress, if I was allowed to cut my hair short, if I had too many tattoos. If I didn’t get a campaign, or if I didn’t get a role, they would always come back to, ‘Well, she dresses like a boy.’
Ruby Rose
I’m now in my late 30s, and I’ve been thinking a lot about marriage and family. To be honest, I’ve decided to push aside thoughts of marriage and personal questions for now.
Gong Yoo
You can say I’m not the easiest architect in the world, because I’m always trying to push the limits.
Steven Holl
I think I’m a living embodiment of, ‘Don’t try to push me around or squash me,’ whether its how I talk to a record label or in my relationships.
Bonnie Raitt
The only foreign policy advice I heard from China was when they said to Sudan, ‘Don’t go back to war.’ That’s all they said. They didn’t push anything else.
Emmanuel Jal
You are talking to a man who can only play a plastic keyboard. Give me anything weighted and I’ve had it. I haven’t got the strength in my fingers to push them down. So I don’t get a lot of expression on the keyboard.
Midge Ure
I think there are steps that can be taken that haven’t been required or energy to make that fight more secure and we are going to continue to push the federal government to do that.
George Pataki
I’m quite a dreamy person but I’m also very realistic about my possibilities, so if this was meant to remain a hobby I would have kept it as that. But I feel like music goes in waves and when you get an upward swing, you have to push it as far as you can.
Arlo Parks
Every opportunity that you get in life to do something unique, that’s going to challenge you and push you, is an opportunity that I want to take, especially as a footballer.
Tobin Heath
Doctors are fantastic, but they err on the side of caution. But you can push yourself. You’re not going to die from pain.
Tony McCoy
My attitude is that if you push me towards something that you think is a weakness, then I will turn that perceived weakness into a strength.
Michael Jordan
To be admitted to Nature’s hearth costs nothing. None is excluded, but excludes himself. You have only to push aside the curtain.
Henry David Thoreau
The ’80s was a really creative and brave period. Remember, it was a period of ultraconservatism, and so you needed brave people to push ahead like that.
Cyndi Lauper
I said we needed to organize women around the world to push peace.
Eddie Bernice Johnson

Virginia Postrel

A’Lelia Bundles
Especially with sports cars, when you have got so many cars on the track with various degrees of competitiveness, then something will happen. It’s the nature of racing, the law of averages. If you want to be a front-runner then you are going to have to push very hard, and collisions can happen.
