Kaetlyn Osmond

A fantastic actor in a scene that’s just closed off will be good. But when working with a director who knows little tricks – correct music, slowly pushing in – that stunning performance will somehow become even better. I’ve always seen it as a symbiotic relationship.

Matthew Gray Gubler

A great deal of energy is spent daily on pushing the Russian e-commerce boom along while managing all aspects of growth and development along the way.

Maelle Gavet

A lot of people that make films say, ‘We need this kind of character. Who’s done it before? Get them to do it again.’ That is exactly what actors are pushing against. It’s kind of a cliche to talk about being stereotyped in that way, but it happens.

John C. Reilly

A lot of stand-up comedians are actually very insecure, and they come on slightly battling the audience. They want to be the superior person in the room, sneering at the world. That can be very funny. But to me, what’s more interesting is that the world is on my shoulders, and it’s pushing me down.

Stephen Merchant

A mountain of evidence shows that our bodies are pushing, shaping, even leading our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. That the body affects the mind is, it’s fair to say, incontestable. And it’s doing so in ways that either facilitate or impede our ability to bring our authentic best selves to our biggest challenges.

Amy Cuddy

A poet can write about a man slaying a dragon, but not about a man pushing a button that releases a bomb.

W. H. Auden

A street criminal can steal only what he can carry, but with a stroke of a pen, the dialing of a telephone or the pushing of a computer key, the white collar criminal can and does steal billions.

Janet Reno

Acting’s such a good job in that you’re stimulating and pushing yourself constantly. I’d never want to do anything comfortable.

Kaya Scodelario

After about five hours of pushing, my midwife and my birthing assistant said, ‘You know, we have a few suggestions.’ And I was like, ‘Really? After five hours of pushing you have a few suggestions? You couldn’t have told me five minutes in?’

Evangeline Lilly

AIR grew out of our early thinking about rich Internet applications around 2001. We started to see web developers pushing the boundaries of what could be done inside the browser and taking advantage of Flash in ways that we hadn’t expected.

Kevin Lynch

Al Qaeda is on the run, partly because the United States is in Afghanistan, pushing on al Qaeda, and working internationally to cut off the flow of funds to al Qaeda. They are having a difficult time. They failed in this endeavor.

Ed Royce

Along the way, I learned a lot about being told I didn’t have the right skills for the jobs I wanted and how to overcome the setbacks and keep pushing forward. This is why I’ve become an Ambassador for LifeSkills, a programme created by Barclays to help one million young people get the skills they need for work.

Jameela Jamil

Although we often assume that feelings inspire actions, in fact, actions also inspire feelings. By pushing myself to act happier, I make myself feel happier.

Gretchen Rubin

And I want a gold medal more than anything. I just want a gold medal, so that’s been pushing me forward.

Alicia Sacramone

And we’ve got to ask ourselves some very serious questions as to whether or not certain religious leaders, in terms of raising money – I hate to bring this up – are pushing hot buttons.

Tony Campolo

Any superhero, regardless of how different they are from Superman, recalls Superman in some way. They’re either pushing against Superman or reflecting Superman; there’s something about them that comes from Superman.

Gene Luen Yang

Any Wall Street advertising that does not go into the boring details of methodology is most likely to be pushing past performance.

Barry Ritholtz

Anyone who makes time frames beyond tomorrow probably isn’t pushing himself hard enough.

Anand Mahindra

Apple Music is about getting things early and pushing them out.

Jimmy Iovine

Arizona’s forest fires are not waiting for April, and neither will we. That is why I am pushing for stepped up deployment for Hot Shot wildfire crews in March rather than April, in order to better prepare for the expected fires in northern Arizona.

Rick Renzi

As a community, we create a lot of space for fighting and pushing back, but not enough for connecting and healing.

Tarana Burke

As a Manhattan resident, I’m gutted by what certain landlords are doing, pushing folks who have lived in their apartments for decades out of their homes, as a greedy tactic to get more rent from newer tenants. It’s one of the most disgusting, inhumane things I’ve ever witnessed in my beautiful city.

Amanda Warren

As a soccer player, I wanted an FA Cup winner’s medal. As an actor you want an Oscar. As a chef it’s three-Michelin’s stars, there’s no greater than that. So pushing yourself to the extreme creates a lot of pressure and a lot of excitement, and more importantly, it shows on the plate.

Gordon Ramsay

As an actor and as a performer, I’ve felt that the education system has really helped me in a lot of ways… there was always a teacher or a professor along the way that kept pushing me to the next stage.

Jimmy Smits

As creators and as readers, we need to always be pushing it – by looking for the books, looking for the artists and people and stories to support what we feel to be a better representation of all women. Of real women.

Marjorie Liu

As for kids who are struggling personally, ignore the bullies! Who cares what they think? A lot of the time, they’re not thinking, so you shouldn’t take their words to heart. Ignore, ignore, ignore, and keep pushing forward.

Nolan Gould

As journalists, we keep pushing and pushing.

Mary Hart

As long as I feel I’m pushing myself and my riding, then I’m where I want to be.

Scotty Lago

As long as I was breathing with the contractions and not pushing against them, I felt better. That idea is fundamental-to feel pain and not to resist; to go towards it. It is an incredibly spiritual practice.

Christy Turlington

As members of society, we should always be pushing our girls to strive to be the best and to speak up and out about issues we see.

Marley Dias

As professional soccer players, we take our bodies to the extreme. We’re the people at the gym that look like we’re breaking the machines. Pushing our bodies to the limits is what makes us so strong and capable and Olympians. It’s not an easy thing to consistently do over and over again to your body.

Abby Wambach

As recently as the 1970s, some Pashtun leaders in Afghanistan were pushing to create a new state, Pashtunistan, by joining with Pashtuns in Pakistan.

Stephen Kinzer

As secretary of state, Hillary Clinton was an active promoter of increased resource extraction in Latin America, pushing both fracking and the privatization of petroleum production.

Greg Grandin

As tough as it was for us with my father gone, my mother and sister were always pushing me. They even let me go to Brazil by myself when I was 13 to train with Sao Paulo for four months.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan

At one point in the ‘Onyx Court’ series, I think during ‘In Ashes Lie’, I suggested that Lune might come to love someone else eventually. Which was me pushing back against the narrative trope that people only get one True Love in their entire lives – an idea I think is kind of pernicious – but in retrospect, I wish I hadn’t done it there.

Marie Brennan

At the same time, Republicans are pushing a $70 billion tax package that will overwhelmingly benefit the most wealthy Americans and actually increases the deficit by $16 billion.

Marty Meehan

Back in Romania, always I was struggling to compete with Vladislav Rastorotsky, the great Russian coach of Lyudmila Turishcheva. He was a powerful coach, internationally. I took him like the major challenge of my life, and pretty soon I’m beating him and we are pushing each other so hard, so fierce. But out of the arena, we are friends.

Bela Karolyi

Beast Mode doesn’t make excuses. It doesn’t complain. Whatever you’re doing, go out there and get it done. Keep pushing. If I have a bad game, I think about what I have to do to return to form. Figure it out, go to sleep, and wake up a new man.

Matt Kemp

Because I’m pushing my body so hard already, the last thing I want to do is have music that’s really too strong, in my head.

Michelle Kwan

Being a great founder or early team member is a difficult dialectic – you have to be a bit overconfident, and a big ego isn’t always a bad thing. To change the world requires pushing really, really hard and believing you and your team know something others don’t.

Joe Lonsdale

Being a trial lawyer sounds like glamorous work, but most of your time is spent pushing paper and arguing.

Megyn Kelly

Being at the top means never being satisfied with what you’re comfortable with – comfortable means you’ve stopped pushing, and you’re either going to get passed, or you already have been. But if you’re constantly pushing yourself, then you’re exposing yourself to falls and injuries.

Gretchen Bleiler

Being under-recruited coming out of Highland, I’ve carried that with me. I keep pushing forward, keep working hard every day, keep my head on straight every step of the way. I tried to keep the reality hat on, knowing I might not get to the NFL, but I also knew it was a great possibility if I kept myself hungry.

Mike Daniels

Big E, he’s a strong dude. Ryback’s a strong dude. But if you put Batista next to those guys, he was 6’6”, 320 lbs. Those guys are pushing 6’1”-6’2”. But Batista was wide. He was a big old dude. Those guys could beat him in a bench press contest, but I’d rather look like Dave.

Randy Orton

Blackheart’ is purely falling into the electronic world and pushing the envelope.

Dawn Richard

Breaking records has never been my goal. I think it’s important that we’re continually pushing our limits and showing that we can extend beyond what we have done before.

Peggy Whitson

But clearly, this is what this is about. It’s about pushing the security bubble out. It’s about rooting out every last guy, so that there’s not even somebody who can fire a single, solitary RPG round from some little qalat out here.

David Petraeus

By continually pushing the message that we have the right to gratification now, consumerism at its most expansive encouraged a demand for fulfillment that could not so easily be contained by products.

Ellen Willis

By encouraging its citizens to violate our border, Mexico is pushing a tremendous welfare burden off of its shoulders and onto ours, while also benefiting from the significant sums of U.S. currency that these workers will eventually send back home to their families.

Spencer Bachus

By pushing children and wanting quick success, parents are producing followers, not leaders.

Sophie B. Hawkins

Capitalism doesn’t function when it starts to contract, and we can see that quite clearly right here in the eurozone. It’s like pushing a giant monster under water that’s gasping for air. It goes nuts.

Douglas Tompkins

Certainly, network television in general relies a little bit too much on keeping people focused and emotional and scared and pushing the envelope by building wall-to-wall music.

Kevin Bacon

China may brutalize Buddhists in Tibet and Muslims in Xinjiang while denying basic rights to the rest of its 1.3 billion citizens, but ‘woke’ activists pushing intersectionality keep mum on all that.

Bari Weiss

Christians who enjoy and support art and culture, who make it a priority in their lives, and who reach out to those in the arts instead of reflexively pushing them away, can help bring the culture toward a renewed appreciation of goodness, truth, and beauty. And that is good for everyone.

Eric Metaxas

Comedy, in my opinion, is best when it’s in the gray, and you’re kind of pushing people’s thoughts that they sort of had but never vocalized. And I think a joke is not good if someone says something, and immediately people are clapping because they’re like, ‘Yes! That is how I feel as well!’

Michelle Wolf

Conquering any difficulty always gives one a secret joy, for it means pushing back a boundary-line and adding to one’s liberty.

Henri Frederic Amiel

Cycling’s primarily a pushing motion, and skiing is more pulling, so it kind of balances out the body.

Oksana Masters

Decades ago, women suffered through horrifying back-alley abortions. Or, they used dangerous methods when they had no other recourse. So when the Republican Party launched an all-out assault on women’s health, pushing bills to limit access to vital services, we had to ask: Why is the GOP trying to send women back… to the back alley?

Lisa Edelstein

Delphine Lucielle’s paintings are profound, unique, and moving. It is rare to find contemporary art that combines both beauty, innovation, and creates a new style of painting by fusing technology and nature. Delphine Lucielle is pushing the boundaries of what art is capable of.

Jerry Yang

Democrats like to picture us as pushing grandmother over the cliff or throwing someone under the bus. In either one of those scenarios, at least the senior has a chance to survive.

Phil Gingrey

Despite the evidence that we already have too many students in higher education, the hot new idea among the political class is to double down by pushing for ‘free college tuition.’ The problem with the ‘free college’ idea is, however, not merely financial. It also reinforces the myth that college is appropriate or even possible for all students.

Charlie Sykes

Don’t hold back in your writing. Take risks. Go ahead and tackle that crazy idea that you think will never fly, because that may be the one that makes you stand out from the crowd. Keep pushing the envelope.

Carrie Vaughn

Drawing is the only thing I’ve found in which I can lose myself completely. I love it. It started as something that relaxed me, but now it’s a struggle because I’m pushing myself. The day-to-day sketching is fraught.

Peter Capaldi

Education was a given, only because of the way I was raised. Truth be told, I thought, at 15 years old, I should go and get a record deal and drop out of school, and my parents would have had none of that. I’m grateful now that my parents were pushing me in that way, because I wasn’t mature enough on so many levels to do that.

Trisha Yearwood

Einstein wrestled with a problem back before we even knew the universe was expanding, and he was looking for a way to keep the universe from collapsing. And so he discovered, in his theory of gravity, something like this dark energy – he called it a cosmological constant – could play this role, pushing things away.

Adam Riess

Even leaving aside government policy, whole industries are already making expensive changes around the perceived need to ‘go green.’ Al Gore and countless other prophets of global catastrophe are making megamillions pushing these expensive solutions. Schoolchildren around the globe are being frightened by tales of impending calamity.

Bradley A. Smith

Every day, I’m working hard to improve my craft as an artist, my connection with the best fans, and keep pushing my work ethic. All those things make me happy.

Jacob Whitesides

Every day, you have to get up with new energy and new ideas to contribute to pushing the organization forward.

Abigail Johnson

Every ‘Star Wars’ film was about pushing what was possible in terms of effects, puppets, matte paintings, stop motion and, now, digitally.

Dave Filoni

Everybody listens to Bob Marley. It gives you an inner feeling to keep pushing on. It’s an education on life. He helps me out every day. It gives me a deep-down feeling.

Rohan Marley

Everything I do has the tinge of the finite, of my own demise. At some point you either accept death or you just keep pushing it back as you get older and older. I’ve accepted it.

Robert Smith

Faith itself is a horrible mechanism that stunts the growth of ideas. It also stunts the act of questioning, and it does this by pushing the idea that you have to have faith – and that nothing has to be proven.

Joe Rogan

Faith moves mountains, but you have to keep pushing while you are praying.

Mason Cooley

Fast track is about pushing through the TPP, TTIP and future trade agreements that would massively increase the power of big international corporations and affect the daily lives of Americans.

Jan Schakowsky

Female performers have been doing this for years – pushing the envelope about sexuality – and the minute a man does it, everybody freaks out.

Adam Lambert

Feminism is teaching. I’ve gotten a lot of pleasure pushing younger writers that I’ve met and worked with.

Erica Jong

Films are pushing envelopes in terms of what is horrific, but also on other areas: in video games, in comic books and outside life.

David Slade

First, we have to lower our costs to levels that are more competitive. This will prevent the lower-cost airlines from pushing us out of the markets we want to serve. We’ve made great progress on this front, but we need to keep pushing.

Gerard Arpey

For me, the amazing thing was entering into this amazing world of ‘Sesame Street.’ We’d be in the kids’ room, and there was a door into the soundstage that said ‘1-2-3 Open Sesame.’ I remember pushing that door open and going into this incredible magical world of make-believe. In one episode, I was playing football with Joe Namath.

Kim Raver

For most of my 20s, I looked like I was 12. Now that I’m pushing 40, I guess I look closer to… 15? It must be my macrobiotic diet. Oh, wait, except that I don’t have one of those.

Gabriel Mann

For the first time in history all the major countries in the world are pushing together to reach this goal… building something in space that is really for all humankind.

Umberto Guidoni

Fortunately or unfortunately, NaNoWriMo requires you to write at a breakneck pace, so I got used to just pushing on through.

Ann Leckie

Four-men aren’t used to picking up guys pushing the ball in transition. Let alone, somebody getting the rebound and just busting.

Draymond Green

From an early age I didn’t buy into the value systems of working hard in a nine-to-five job. I thought creativity, friendship and loyalty and pushing the boundaries of what was acceptable was much more interesting.

Adam Clayton

Good music comes out of people playing together, knowing what they want to do and going for it. You have to sweat over it and bug it to death. You can’t do it by pushing buttons and watching a TV screen.

Keith Richards

Good records – from my point of view, where I grew up which was Led Zeppelin and Jethro Tull… bands that were pushing the envelope a little – musically and in production.

Kip Winger

Growing up in the ’70s, it was only a few years before that when men started to grow their hair long. And in the ’70s, people were pushing the envelope a little farther, with men having even more style and piercing both their ears and wearing makeup.

Nikki Sixx

Guilt is an emotion that is never very far away from Rick Grimes. He’s a man that shoulders the responsibility, and it’s one of the forces that keeps pushing him on.

Andrew Lincoln

Having a head coach pushing you is definitely a plus.

Ha Ha Clinton-Dix

He started pushing to make birdies and you don’t do that when you’re down.

Vijay Singh

Here I am just trying to fund myself to play a sport, but the greater picture is that I’m a female athlete really pushing the envelope for women in sports.

Hilary Knight

Historically, China is not a nation of sportsmen. We traditionally put more emphasis on being close to nature than pushing endlessly to excel. A philosophy that values tranquil contemplation of the landscape cannot easily be adapted to the Olympic slogan of ‘higher, stronger, faster.’

Ai Weiwei

History is not a long series of centuries in which men did all the interesting/important things and women stayed home and twiddled their thumbs in between pushing out babies, making soup and dying in childbirth.

Tansy Rayner Roberts

Hopefully with each thing that you do you’re learning something, you’re growing, and you’re pushing yourself a little harder in some way or another. So I think you’d be in real trouble if each new thing that you create didn’t feel like ‘Oh, wow. I feel like I’m doing something a little different this time.’

Rian Johnson

Human beings thrive on imagination and pushing boundaries and limitations. Imposing limits when we don’t actually have any true idea of what’s possible is like imposing a steel trap over the mind.

Kameron Hurley

I always thought that using more efficient energy sources, pushing the clean energy technologies such as renewable energies are important.

Fatih Birol

I am a lover. And with my kids I am even softer. I realize with my son, I have to sometimes be tough, especially now when he’s pushing boundaries. With my daughter, I can get a little stern with her and she pretty much will listen.

Jennifer Lopez

I am a positive person. I never think of the glass as half empty. I just keep pushing forward.

Rosie Perez

I am big on not pushing anything that I wouldn’t do or use. I understand my brand, vision, and the story I want to tell. I am not into taking short-cuts like tummy teas or waist trainers. I want my brand to be a lifestyle and very premium but, at the same time, relatable.

Karen Civil

I am connected to the past in a way that keeps me going forward. Every leap forward that I make is by reaching back and firmly getting a footing in the past, and pushing forward as hard as I can.

Steve Earle

I am going to keep pushing myself and I would love to get an individual gold medal. That would be amazing.

Emma McKeon

I am increasingly attracted to restricting possibility in the poem by inflicting a form upon yourself. Once you impose some formal pattern on yourself, then the poem is pushing back. I think good poems are often the result of that kind of wrestling with the form.

Billy Collins

I am still pushing the edge of what my body can do.

Twyla Tharp

I am very interested in that fine line between fiction and reality and between comedy and tragedy – and pushing the line as much as possible.

Jill McCorkle

I believe activism is the true source of change in the world. Pushing to change social structures in communities that you are a part of is critical for making real lasting change.

Marley Dias

I believe if you are not rediscovering yourself and pushing boundaries, then you are not alive.

Hrithik Roshan

I believe in the imperative to explore, so any project that I can be involved with that celebrates that, and expands people’s imagination around that idea of pushing out, is one of the most positive things that I think I could be involved with.

Ron Howard

I believe that nationalism is a very strong force, but there are other forces operating; there are tendencies pushing towards a larger picture, especially in Europe, I think; but I still think nationalism is real.

Peter Singer

I can relate to pushing yourself because you want to help and move culture toward justice.

Kate McKinnon

I could never repay my parents for always pushing me and believing in me as much as they did.

Normani Kordei

I danced a lot when I was younger, and I’ve always had decent, shapely legs and thought it’s now or never. I mean, when you’re pushing 40, are you really going to wander around in a dress that’s midthigh length?

Kate Winslet

I did a pilot for Fox years ago called ‘Faceless,’ with Sean Bean. I always thought it was such a cool show because it was really raw. I thought we were pushing it. This was back at a time before there was the ‘cable standard.’

Joe Carnahan

I didn’t care what people thought of me, that I was getting better, pushing myself to get better. Those are the things I concentrate on. I don’t concentrate on what everyone else was saying.

Robbie Lawler

I do expect a lot from myself, but it’s also a balance of being… positive and also pushing yourself.

Venus Williams

I do feel Scottish in some way. Maybe it’s to do with visiting my grandparents here every summer as a child, but I am aware of my Scottish ancestry. It’s there all right, but it would be pushing it to label me a Scottish painter. Or, indeed, an anywhere painter.

Peter Doig

I don’t care about the image I have. What matters to me is that with every film, I am growing more and more as an actor, pushing and challenging myself.

Kirti Kulhari

I don’t care how many championships you’ve won or how many records you’ve broken – if you’ve had a hand in pushing forward not only a game but women in sport’s movement, then I think that’s pretty darn good.

Abby Wambach

I don’t know if it’s that my own childhood felt brief, or I grew up too fast, or I was pushing myself too much at a young age, but I do feel like I am clinging to a certain childlike quality in myself, as a result of a childhood that was sometimes complicated.

Shawn Levy

I don’t stress about things I can’t change, so if I have a day when I don’t look great, I don’t look in the mirror! I try to fit in one session of Bikram yoga and one run a week and, if I can, one swim, but that’s pushing it.

Donna Air

I don’t think anyone’s pushing for spending limits in the campaign.

Craig Benson

I don’t think I can speak of the achievements of Indian cinema because it’s so large next to me. It’s not stopping. It’s ever-growing. We are going towards the right direction. We are evolving as a filmmaking industry as actors, directors, producers, singers, musicians. Everybody just pushing the boundaries.

Ranbir Kapoor

I don’t think I’m generous enough to be the straight guy. I sort of make my own way and make my own statement. Do I mind pushing myself forward? Not at all.

Pamela Stephenson

I don’t think this business encourages you to be present. This is a business that’s always pushing you to think about your next thing.

Tony Hale

I don’t want to be satisfied with where I’m at or happy about what I’ve done. I want to keep pushing it.

Patrick Kane

I don’t want to force the peacekeeping nations to feel like I’m pushing them out.

Michel Martelly

I don’t want to interview people for the purpose of developing a world view and pushing that on people.

Brandon Stanton

I doubt I’ll ever retire, but if I do, I see myself as the little old Parisian lady pushing her trolley from the supermarket to her apartment. Everyone needs a pipe dream.

Catherine Martin

I enjoy pushing my characters to the limit. No matter how far out there I go, I look for things that make the characters human.

Dana Carvey

I enjoy the element of pushing yourself, learning something new, whether it’s a dance step, a scene, an emotion.

Kenny Wormald

I feel a strong affinity to Ke$ha and Katy Perry and a lot of these women who are really pushing the girl power femme fatale thing. It’s fun, and it’s unapologetic, and they tell women they can do whatever they want, and that’s true, and that’s a message that I want to carry, to tell girls they can do whatever they want.

T. J. Miller

I feel like I’ve accomplished a lot, but for me, it’s about pushing to the point where I can be Mark Walhberg, Ryan Murphy, or Shonda Rhimes. I want to be at that table in terms of bringing new voices in.

Lena Waithe

I feel like, in Boston, I was a little too complacent. I could get on stage when I wanted. I didn’t feel like I was pushing myself. I could get work in New England and not have to travel too much.

Josh Gondelman

I feel some allegiance to pushing electric-guitar music into a different realm, somewhere that isn’t retrospective. There’s a lot of guitar bands that are a tribute to the 1970s or the Nineties. I want to experiment with guitar music more.

Jamie Hince

I fundamentally believe that your words have so much credibility if you’re not taking money upfront. I feel really comfortable pushing actors and pushing executives and pushing marketing people when we’re not going to benefit financially unless the movie works. I feel like that makes the playing field so much more level.

Jason Blum

I get off on pushing people’s buttons sometimes.

Guillermo Diaz

I got into a bad habit of dropping my elbow and pushing the ball to the plate instead of getting on top of it and using some leverage to get it down in the strike zone or get some depth with the ball.

Matt Cain

I grew up thinking a bit of pushing and shoving was completely normal. Then I suddenly learned that if you kick another player, you get in trouble. Nobody had ever reprimanded me for that before.

Diego Costa

I had a couple of movies that I was passionately involved with that I could never get made. ‘Richard Pryor,’ I wrote for – gosh – over a year. That was close to getting made for two-and-a-half years after that. We’re still pushing it, you know. It is weird. Suddenly you wake up and it’s like, ‘God, five years have gone by.’

Bill Condon

I had actually hurt my neck, and because I went a while without getting it taken care of – it was pushing up against the back of my heart – and because I have heart issues, they thought it was this whole big deal. So I spent a good three days in the hospital, two nights in the ICU.

Austin Carlile

I had had some successes in the ’90s, always made money, but the truth was I was like a man pushing a boulder up a hill. A huge, heavy, difficult boulder made up of some career mistakes, projects that didn’t meet expectations, and twenty years of being a known quantity.

Rob Lowe

I have a four year old and I’m telling you we did Nickelodeon last night and he embarrassed me. It was like one of those moments when I couldn’t believe my kid is acting like this. I just had to just like walk away from him because he was really pushing my buttons.

Nia Long

I have a real interest in pushing some of the limits of things that studios don’t want to make.

George Clooney

I have a strong point of view, and that’s a double-edged sword. It can be a phenomenal characteristic in terms of getting things done, but it can also mean I will be relentless in my pushing for my point of view.

Mellody Hobson

I have a tremendous amount of patience and tolerance when working with people, but if I ever feel the impulse to inhibit myself from doing one more take, or feel a need to apologize to someone for pushing, I know that that relationship isn’t gonna last.

Bennett Miller

I have always been interested in pushing magic forward.

David Copperfield

I have always had strong maternal instincts. Even when I was still a child I cut out pictures of prams from newspapers and imagined the feeling of pushing my own pram through fresh winter snow and seeing the wheels’ tracks behind me in the snow.

Agnetha Faltskog

I have always viewed thinking about arguing, about questioning, pushing back with, joking, about sharing and discovering the world and the news as enjoyable, the same way that I view watching basketball.

Chris Hayes

I have to confess I’m addicted to Sky Sports News. Just the music can pull me in. And then whether it’s badminton in the Czech Republic, snail pushing or mole hopping, I’m hooked.

Andrew Buchan

I have to constantly keep pushing myself.

Mikaela Shiffrin

I have voted against only one of President Obama’s nominees: Michael Froman, a Citigroup alumnus who is currently storming the halls of Congress as U.S. Trade Representative pushing trade deals that threaten to undermine financial regulation, workers’ rights, and environmental protections.

Elizabeth Warren

I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You’re doing things you’ve never done before, and more importantly, you’re doing something.

Neil Gaiman

I just believe that the feeling of wonder is amazing. I am pushing myself as far as I can humanly push myself… I can only hope for the best and expect the worse.

David Blaine

I just like to keep pushing myself and the sport.

Nathan Chen

I just realized at least what I was doing was making a lot of stuff that nobody needed and pushing a consumerist society. So I went to do something else.

Douglas Tompkins

I just really strongly promote pushing against this culture of perfection. I mean, I’m sorry, for me, Spanx don’t feel good. I’ve tried one of those waist-trainer things on – that hurt like the bejesus.

Tracee Ellis Ross

I just stay focused, and I always think about gymnastics. I am just doing what I always do… working really hard and pushing myself to the maximum and keeping myself motivated.

Aly Raisman

I just think it’s so much more rewarding and important to go around the world and bring people together as opposed to pushing people away.

Drake Bell

I just want to keep pushing the envelope without it feeling forced.

The Weeknd

I keep my perfume in the fridge. If someone sees me in the morning pushing aside the eggs to grab my perfume, it might look a little odd, but it’s so refreshing to spray cold fragrance on your skin.

Becki Newton

I keep pushing buttons and trying to grow as a person and as a filmmaker.

Famke Janssen

I keep pushing for the Crest Whitestrips thing. I get so many compliments on how white my teeth are, but I have to say it’s not because of my brushing skills. It’s from Crest Whitestrips, and that’s the honest truth. I don’t believe in going to the dentist and paying for whitening.

Jill Wagner

I keep striving to be perfect, it keeps you pushing and pushing and pushing.

Cooper Kupp

I kept trying, proposing, pushing… If you want to succeed, you cannot leave work half done, and unfortunately, many things were left half done. The choice was made not to launch a second wave of economic reforms that I was proposing.

Emmanuel Macron

I knew that I was different. I gravitated more toward playing house, but the teachers were always pushing me toward playing the more competitive games with the boys. I spent so much time wondering, ‘What’s wrong with me? Why can’t I fit in?’

Chelsea Manning

I know I’m not the greatest singer or dancer, but that doesn’t interest me. I’m interested in being provocative and pushing people’s buttons.

Madonna Ciccone

I know my husband really loves me because he takes me to have ribs. He says I’m the only girl he ever took out who actually ate anything on her plate, as opposed to pushing it around.

Julia Barr

I know when I need to be pushing it full speed; I know when I got to probe and allow the flow to open up, because, at the end of the day, on the basketball court, something’s going to open up.

Draymond Green

I learned from my mom to always keep pushing yourself.

Gabby Douglas

I like Alexander McQueen’s work a lot: he’s always pushing boundaries, and he’s rough around the edges.

Sam Taylor-Johnson

I like people who are able to keep pushing themselves and challenging themselves even after great success.

John C. Reilly

I like pushing boundaries.

Lady Gaga

I like pushing myself as an actor.

Morgan Saylor

I like pushing myself, and usually if I’m not good at something I just won’t do it because I’m a perfectionist.

Matthew Morrison

I like pushing the envelope. I like pushing myself and the audience, whether it’s a TV show or live. I like to throw people over the edge of the cliff and scare the wits out of them, but then pull them back and make them safe.

Keith Barry

I like to believe that if you pay close attention to the sentences as they unfold, they will draw you in rather than pushing you away.

Damon Galgut

I like to play physical, and I’m a big guy, and I think sometimes – maybe sometimes I am pushing somebody, and I don’t realize how hard I’m pushing them. And then they do it back, and it’s kind of like, ‘Jeez!’

Blake Griffin

I like to stand out in the crowd. So anytime a designer offers up items that are a little attention grabbing or pushing the boundaries ever so slightly, I’m always game for that.

Brad Goreski

I love co-writing. That whole process is a challenge in that good writers are pushing you.

Lauren Daigle

I love inventing interesting people and then pushing them to their absolute limits – and usually those absolute limits involve homicidal faeries, werewolves, or some other paranormal menace.

Maggie Stiefvater

I love Katy Perry and Lady GaGa. I think GaGa’s pushing the envelope every day and I really like that.

Pat Benatar

I love pushing my boundaries and seeing how far I can go without, you know, dying or injuring myself too badly. On set I was like, ‘Give me some stunts! Give me whatever you want. Throw it at me. I want to do it all.’

Spencer Grammer

I love pushing my boundaries and seeing how far I can go without, you know, dying or injuring myself too badly.

Spencer Grammer

I love Red Bull, they support everything that I do. They always support music and they’re always pushing music.

Big Freedia

I love seeing other people swim quickly, it gives you a bit more motivation to keep pushing and get the best out of yourself.

Emma McKeon

I love switching onto a point guard or pushing the big up the court, but playing against Candace Parker would be awesome.

Liz Cambage

I never believed in pushing my kids. My dad was very unhappy I wasn’t going to be a doctor, but I couldn’t stand to see the sight of blood. And I wanted to be a lawyer since I was in seventh or eighth grade.

Jerry Reinsdorf

I owe a lot to Darren Perry. I don’t think I’d be this far this early if it wasn’t for him pushing me to run an extra second or showing me a play on film and telling me when I see it, that’s the green light to go do it and don’t be afraid to take that next step and take chances. That’s what the game is about.

Ha Ha Clinton-Dix

I prefer to create friction. Because if you’re not pushing buttons, you’re just making something pleasant; it’s probably been done before, and it’s not making anyone feel anything.

Aubrie Sellers

I read ‘Pushing the Limit’ and ‘Dare You To’ by Katie McGarry. Fantastic stuff. I had never read young adult before, but now I’m a believer.

Lori Foster

I really believe in challenging myself, pushing myself to new places.

Jonathan Evison

I really want to start pushing my merchandise. I want to design something clothing-wise one day. I think that would be really sick.

Tate McRae

I remember taking my brother’s car out, pushing it down the driveway in neutral in the night, and going out joyriding with friends and getting flat tires and getting busted. My license was revoked by my dad. So, definitely, I was a kid. I was a teenage boy.

Matt Bomer

I saw myself as a trailblazer in the 1980s as a female lawyer in the City. It was exciting, as women were outnumbered by men five to one. But while I had this sense of trailblazing, in reality, I wasn’t pushing boundaries; it was just a personal myth I’d created, as I was doing a job I wasn’t enjoying.

Michelle Paver

I see artists bored by light-without-heat, irked at gigantic galleries’ pushing out art-as-product, leaving behind the over determined for the undetermined, guided by interior voices and bringing us out of a long tunnel to new blueness.

Jerry Saltz

I see good ideas on the Republican side as well as the Democratic side. You have to return civility and statesmanship to governance. If you don’t do that, it doesn’t matter what portfolio of issue you’re pushing, nothing is going to get done.

Richard Carmona

I spent my whole life playing sports and training and pushing myself to the limits.

Venus Williams

I started directing videos at the same time that Michel Gondry was starting to direct videos, and I watched what he’d do. They all seemed to be pushing some new visual effects idea, but never just for spectacle. They all captured a feeling.

Spike Jonze

I stay true to myself and my style, and I am always pushing myself to be aware of that and be original.

Aaliyah

I still find it interesting that there could be a point between a young guy and a girl when they decide to hold hands as they walk down the block. At some point, they decide to make the leap from pushing and insulting each other to doing something tender and possessive and showing the world that.

Amy Heckerling

I still think that I’m playing instruments, not just pushing buttons and there it goes. It’s interactive and alive with the sound and the manipulation and it plays like instruments.

Ikue Mori

I take issue with those who criticize ‘The Biggest Loser’ for pushing contestants too hard. The whole point is to push them hard. Otherwise, there’s no change.

Alison Sweeney

I take magnesium to prevent cramps. A few years back, I suffered from hamstring tears, and part of that can be to do with muscle cramping, and then pushing the muscle at that point. I also take a fish oil supplement.

Greg Rutherford

I think if I ever stopped pushing myself, I would revert quickly to quite repetitive, restrictive behaviour. But in pushing myself and concentrating on what I can do, I think I can contribute to society. And that gives me the desire to keep pushing, to see what I’m capable of. The thing to do is not to stop.

Daniel Tammet

I think if you’re everyone’s cup of tea, that probably means you’re a little bit boring, or you’re not pushing yourself. Creativity happens where it’s dangerous and scary: where you’re not comfortable.

Kacey Musgraves

I think it surprises a lot of people that I’m still around, you know, still – that I’m not pushing up daisies, as they say.

James Taylor

I think it’s nice to know that people in the industry are paying attention to all of the hard work you’ve done throughout the years and rewarding you for it. It reminds you to keep doing it, to keep pushing yourself, and to always remain that way.

Joan Smalls

I think magic, whether I’m holding my breath or shuffling a deck of cards, is pretty simple. It’s practice, it’s training, and it’s – It’s practice, it’s training and experimenting, while pushing through the pain to be the best that I can be.

David Blaine

I think people are sort of waking up to it now, how probably the biggest change in Internet media isn’t the immediacy of it, or the low costs, but the measurability. Which is actually terrifying if you’re a traditional journalist, and used to pushing what people ought to like, or what you think they ought to like.

Nick Denton

I think reconciliation is Obama’s goal – but the fight with the Republicans is like a fight with pit bulls, they never let go. Even worse, now the Republicans feel they can keep pushing and he will keep giving. They have not seen a stiff resistance on his part.

Jesse Jackson

I think Roger Rasheed is helping me to be more serious. Also, he can convey his passion for tennis. He loves the game. Also he’s enthusiastic about everything, about tactics, about what is happening on the court, and also physically he’s really pushing me. He wants me to do my best every day.

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga

I think that even at my most anxious, if I have a job to do or a role to fill, I know on some level I can step up and complete it. I mean, I’m probably not going to go bungee jumping anytime soon… but pushing myself to weather some discomfort now and then feels healthy.

Lisa Hanawalt

I think that if you’re on the same team, you should be pushing in the same direction.

Bernard Sumner

I think that there is a relatively small number of people who are pushing for independence in Taiwan.

Fred Thompson

I think the biggest advice that I could give people is to actually try and live beyond your dreams by pushing yourself, challenging yourself to do things a little bit outside of your comfort zone.

Peggy Whitson

I think the touchstone is to give consumers a full, fair choice without the power of a monopoly operating system pushing them in a direction that free competition might or might not achieve.

Jim Barksdale

I think we should be pushing for amnesty and a path to citizenship for every undocumented person residing in the United States who has not committed a violent crime, with a special emphasis on keeping families together.

Conor Oberst

I think we’ll all keep pushing each other, which is a great thing.

Jay Roach

I think, as a director, it’s always worth pushing yourself and finding out new areas and exploring new ways to tell story.

James Bobin

I think, as a performer, the biggest challenge is that you want to do a good job, pushing yourself. You want to go the extra mile every time.

Elizabeth Henstridge

I think, today, television is asking too many loaded questions, pushing further for ratings.

Juan Gabriel

I took an oath to protect the people of Arizona, and that’s what I’m going to do. I’m going to keep pushing in that direction.

Jan Brewer

I try and find fun activities like mountain biking, hiking, or water sports for a workout rather than pushing weight in the gym.

Nate Holland

I turned everybody on so, psychologically, I guess I was pushing the boundaries creativity.

Jim Capaldi

I want completing the single market to be our driving mission. I want us to be at the forefront of transformative trade deals with the US, Japan and India as part of the drive towards global free trade. And I want us to be pushing to exempt Europe’s smallest entrepreneurial companies from more EU directives.

David Cameron

I want to be the kind of artist who keeps pushing on every album. I don’t want to settle on a sound.

Kimbra

I want to inspire people and show people no matter what happens, no matter how much you get knocked down, you can pick yourself up. Just keep pushing forward, keep being positive.

Drew McIntyre

I want to keep pushing my boundaries. One of the biggest things I learned from ‘Unbroken’ is that you can go a lot further than you think you can. We often underestimate our actual capabilities.

Finn Wittrock

I want to keep pushing myself so I never feel settled. I don’t really know if it’s going to end up working. I’m stressed out most of the time.

Selena Gomez

I want to keep pushing the limits for drummers and expressing myself.

Travis Barker

I want to keep pushing the limits to see what’s possible. That’s the nice thing about ski racing – no one is stopping you from going faster.

Lindsey Vonn

I want to keep pushing those boundaries of acting.

Pilou Asbaek

I wanted to be involved in music and I felt I needed to get in quick. I didn’t want to spend four years in college and then hope for the best. I gave myself a year, which is why I kept pushing people for a chance. I literally felt my whole life was in the balance. Music was my life, and I was scared of having time pass by and missing my chance.

Guy Oseary

I wanted to keep pushing the musical ideas I had about jazz, music from Africa and the Caribbean.

Taj Mahal

I was always progressing and pushing my career forward.

Emiliano Martinez

I was always the one pushing the envelope, stirring things up, sometimes getting in trouble. I was always the first one to get a spanking as a kid.

Ryan Frazier

I was nearly 41 when I had my last child. I felt that was late, that I was pushing Mother Nature to the edge, and I understood that I and my unborn child both faced greater risks.

Ulrika Jonsson

I wasn’t the most confident of cooks, but I just persevered, and I wanted to learn, and I wanted to be a sponge, and I wanted to be better than the next person, and I wanted to learn as much as I could, so I just kept pushing, and it took me a long time actually to be confident in my technique and my ability as a cook.

April Bloomfield

I went to a Catholic high school, and I was super rebellious. I would dress weird or play jazz. I was definitely pushing against whatever was going on.

Jose James

I work out hard; that way, I can eat whatever I want. If you have a hard time regulating your diet, pushing yourself at the gym will help you keep the pounds off.

Gretchen Bleiler

I would like to spend my next two years showing how the aim of making technology available to every young person can be built into the effort to make our nation more secure. That is my latest concern and what I will be pushing over the next two years.

Major Owens

I would never encourage my children to be athletes – first because my children are not athletes and second because there are so many people pushing to get to the top in sports that 100 people are crushed for each one who breaks through. This is unfortunate.

Bill James

I’d love to make short film videos pushing the conventional standards of what a country music video can be.

Sturgill Simpson

I’d say Harvard graduates leave here with a sense of the possible and the limit – and a sense that there are no limits to what humans can do and that you can always be pushing, whatever limit you think might be there.

Drew Gilpin Faust

I’d say that if you had a strained relationship with your mom, for whatever reason, the best thing to do is be open with each other, talk it over, try and work it out somehow as opposed to just putting a wall up and pushing them away.

Victoria Justice

If I am thinking the same as everyone why bother pushing to get it published?

Chuck Eddy

If I’m tired one day, then I’ll take the day off instead of pushing through it, because then that’s when you hurt yourself.

Anthony Johnson

If I’m, like, in a grocery store, I don’t get recognized that much, but it’s like, you know, when someone comes up to me and says, ‘Hey, I’m a big ‘Pushing Daisies’ fan,’ you just feel like, ‘Oh, wow – you’re the one who watched it. So nice to meet you.’

Lee Pace

If one takes pride in one’s craft, you won’t let a good thing die. Risking it through not pushing hard enough is not a humility.

Paul Keating

If people respect us as artists, they know we’ll give them something different every time; they know we’re pushing ourselves.

M. Shadows

If someone leaves me a bad review, I briefly fantasize about pushing them down a well.

Lisa Hanawalt

If there has been any progress in the Chinese society and politics over the last 20 years, it is all because the citizens have been pushing for change.

Liu Xiaobo

If we are going to realise our ambition of ending the harmful practices of FGM and forced marriage, the role of young people in pushing for change is crucial. We also need to ensure that everyone, from government to civil society, is playing their part.

Theresa May

If we carry on filling up the calendar, we keep on pushing the athlete, we shorten the athletes longevity. The risk is to shorten a career that could have lasted 10 years because the athlete is burnt out.

Alberto Juantorena

If you are pushing your sport, chances are good that you will want to be in a place that encourages and helps you reach your dreams.

Travis Pastrana

If you create a movie that is only character driven, with a weak plot, then you – as a director, you have to make sure you keep pushing the tempo.

Daniel Espinosa

If you have a priest that is pushing social justice, go find another parish. Go alert your bishop.

Glenn Beck

If you look at the history of art and fashion, it’s always been political. It’s always been pushing boundaries.

Yara Shahidi

If you think you’ve already made it, that’s when you can fall short and go backwards. I’m constantly pushing forward and chasing the element of perfection.

Jason Derulo

If you train with fast athletes, it keeps you pushing. I know that good preparation is more important than everything else.

Eliud Kipchoge

If you want someone to feel warm, you dress them in a warm color and put a warm light on them and you get the picture. Sometimes, all that needs pushing a little bit to help tell the story.

Colleen Atwood

If you’re constantly pushing yourself higher, higher, the law of averages – not to mention the myth of Icarus – predicts that you will at some point fall. And when you do, I want you to know this, remember this: There is no such thing as failure.

Oprah Winfrey

If you’re not a real chameleon of an actor and if you’re not one of those guys who can really shape-change themselves all the time, one of the ways to keep pushing yourself and keep changing is to be in different kinds of movies.

Ethan Hawke

If you’re not pushing your own technique to its own limits with the risk that it might just crumble at any moment, then you’re not really doing your job.

Nigel Kennedy

If you’re playing within your capability, what’s the point? If you’re not pushing your own technique to its own limits with the risk that it might just crumble at any moment, then you’re not really doing your job.

Nigel Kennedy

If you’re sixty-something, pushing 70, the chances of you getting a tremendously fascinating part in the movies are very low, as to be almost negligible, or even in television. But in the theatre, there are still things to do, very interesting, very profound things.

Brian Dennehy

I’m a big believer in pushing things too far and forcing people to pull you back.

Warren Spector

I’m a forward, and I dream of a goal in the World Cup, pushing it, kicking it from outside the box, wherever. I dream of scoring at a World Cup.

Paulo Dybala

I’m a great coder. But I am not pushing that so much anymore because there are thousands of great coders.

Bill Budge

I’m a real ‘go, go’ person… I’d make myself crazy by pushing too hard. It’s important to pull pack the reins a little bit and get in touch with what’s inside.

Shelley Long

I’m a triathlete. Running is when I do my best living and my best thinking. I love the discipline, pushing yourself to suffer as much as you can, because it leads to a form of redemption.

Naomi Benaron

I’m always interested in challenging myself and pushing and seeing how far I can go.

Taraji P. Henson

I’m always pushing for human responsibility. Given that chimpanzees and many other animals are sentient and sapient, then we should treat them with respect.

Jane Goodall

I’m always trying to figure out ways to one up everyone, and that’s what I love about competitions. I love challenging myself and pushing the envelope.

Ryan Sheckler

I’m attracted to seeing how different I can be, pushing the boat out.

James D’arcy

I’m definitely not pushing to find who can I write with or produce with, but of course I’m open to something if it comes up.

Betty Who

I’m getting older and I guess I was pushing myself too hard; we were doing six shows in a row and all that kind of thing.

Wayne Static

I’m glad the NCAA is pushing back the 3-point line a foot. I’m a big supporter of the 3-point shot; it’s exciting. I hope the high schools adopt the same rule.

Morgan Wootten

I’m in a position where, theoretically, I could play the same ten concertos and make a very good living bouncing around playing Mendelssohn, Tchaikovsky and Barber, but I really think artists should keep pushing limits and trying new things.

Joshua Bell

I’m just going to keep pushing and try and be the best of version that I can be of me.

Ileana D’Cruz

I’m just so honored that I never gave up and have kept pushing for my dreams to get here.

MyKayla Skinner

I’m never satisfied with my performance. I want to keep pushing myself. The great thing about being an actor is you’re always learning. That’s what excites me about the job and what continues to drive me.

Drew Fuller

I’m not a left-wing nut pushing for single-payer!

Angus Deaton

I’m not big on looking back beyond the moment in which decisions and events occur. I’m always pushing forward.

David Stern

I’m not searching for hard news; I’m not a journalist, but I’m interested in pushing to boundaries of where we can do the kind of stories that we want to do. I mean, it’s a big world and CNN has made it a lot bigger and they haven’t flinched.

Anthony Bourdain

I’m not sure if I’m most happy when I’m comfortable and content or when I’m pushing myself to the limits. There are such different versions of happy, and I really appreciate both.

Kristen Stewart

I’m only 5 ft. 7 in. tall, and for modelling, that’s small, so I wasn’t getting signed, but I kept on pushing.

Charlotte McKinney

I’m probably a little too impatient with ensuring that the networks and organizations I’m part of are doing the right thing, and pushing the right thing the right way.

John Prendergast

I’m pushing – on a bipartisan basis, actually – to get federal support for the creation of high-quality textbooks that can be downloaded for free on the Internet.

Bill Foster

I’m pushing ahead on my own – you no longer need a large record company to make you a star.

Meshell Ndegeocello

I’m pushing back against the white, misogynistic, heterosexual establishment in the music industry. Like, literally, in all its forms.

Kelela

I’m really anxious not to repeat what I’ve done before, to keep pushing and learning.

Doug Liman

I’m still getting used to changing earrings – It still feels really weird to be pushing bits of metal through holes in my earlobes that weren’t there a few weeks back, and actually seeing and feeling the holes in my lobes is still a bit freaky.

Mischa Barton

I’m the guy pushing a trillion-dollar infrastructure plan. With negative interest rates throughout the world, it’s the greatest opportunity to rebuild everything. Shipyards, ironworks, get them all jacked up. We’re just going to throw it up against the wall and see if it sticks.

Steve Bannon

I’m the least-experimental writer. The idea of trying things just for the sake of pushing the envelope, that’s never really interested me.

Jhumpa Lahiri

I’m trying as hard as I can to keep pushing the boundaries of what a woman is capable of doing. And it turns out there’s a lot we can do. There’s a lot we can speak about.

Rita Moreno

I’m used to having a lot of criticism. It’s normal. It’s normal when you come from South America, when you have a country pushing very hard in your back.

Pastor Maldonado

Immigration reform is a must, an amnesty. So that’s my position. I’ve been pushing that one since before it was popular.

Dick Mountjoy

In a way, you might say that David Duke is the son of Willie Horton. Duke is more overt, of course, but he’s really just pushing the same buttons and sending the same coded messages that the Horton ads did so effectively for the Bush campaign last year.

Judd Rose

In basketball, there’s a lot of pushing, grabbing, and shoving going on that nobody else sees. That’s why I’m training with MMA fighter Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone.

Blake Griffin

In every art form, nothing exists in a bubble. It exists because of what came before it. A lot of bricks were laid. I think if it weren’t for ‘The Purge,’ ‘Get Out’ wouldn’t resonate as a mainstream movie. You push on the taste of the audience, in a way, get them used to something, and then you keep pushing on it.

Jason Blum

In Japan, skating is like NHL hockey in Canada or baseball in the U.S., so pushing the limit is very enticing. Skating is their lives.

Patrick Chan

In life, that is how you advance – by pushing the limits.

Riyad Mahrez

In many cities, it’s become popular to hate ‘gentrifiers,’ rich people who move in and drive up housing prices – pushing everyone else out.

Annalee Newitz

In my store, I don’t do anything political. There are no signs up, and I’m not pushing anyone.

Rick Harrison

In the early 1930s, flying from England to Australia was the longest flight in the world. It was considered extremely dangerous and hazardous, pushing pilots to the limits of mechanical skills and human endurance. Aviation was young.

Mary Garden

In the marathon a crazy athlete can just keep pushing from the beginning, at a championship you don’t need a time just to win the race.

Haile Gebrselassie

InMobi is passionate about pushing the limits of business and mobile technology.

Naveen Tewari

It doesn’t matter what cards you’re dealt. It’s what you do with those cards. Never complain. Just keep pushing forward. Find a positive in anything and just fight for it.

Baker Mayfield

It just gives us that adrenaline charge when we go on. We know we’re gonna come off two hours later, but we’re pushing it all the way; we build it right through. It’s amazing how it happens. It’s sort of magical, because you couldn’t do it in a rehearsal like that; you need that audience in front, and that’s really what gets us going.

Malcolm Young

It takes a big man and a big woman to actually say, like, ‘Okay, I’m in love with you, but I can’t keep forcing it – it’s only pushing us apart’.

Christina Milian

It took a while of performing and pushing the boundaries and starting to involve the audience to feel comfortable.

St. Lucia

It took me until my teenage years to realize that I was medicating with music. I was pushing back against my stupid school uniform, instructors who called me by my last name and my classmates, who, while friendly enough, were not at all inspiring.

Henry Rollins

It was my first day at work – and beginning my training on the job, I was given the job of writing cheques and entering their details. The branch was surrounded by hordes of people… soon, they had to close the gates to manage the crowds, and they started pushing in.

Arundhati Bhattacharya

It’s a fair guess that at the rate we’re destroying habitat, especially but not exclusively in the tropics, we’re pushing to extinction about one species every hour. That doesn’t count the species whose populations are being reduced so greatly that diversity within the population is essentially gone.

Donella Meadows

It’s a question of not so much pushing the boys out of the picture, but making the whole frame bigger so that both men and women access the labor market, contribute to the economy, generate growth, have jobs, and so on.

Christine Lagarde

It’s a shame that gays who ought to be pushing boundaries have been domesticated and tamed and turned into pets by the Progressive Left.

Milo Yiannopoulos

It’s about our ability precisely to integrate a people and offer jobs, and that, for me, is one of the key rationales of the reforms I’m pushing, and I’m a strong believer in that when you lift barriers, when you deregulate a lot of stuff, basically you improve the equality of opportunities.

Emmanuel Macron

It’s always been difficult to make a good record. To be perfectly honest with you, it’s really about the person that’s pushing the buttons. No matter what type of equipment you have, you still have to have a certain talent to be able to make a good record.

Dr. Dre

It’s always difficult to define what jazz is or what jazz isn’t. To me, the only definition that I can think of is it’s music where a lot of different elements are played at the same time. The harmonic, the melodic… You’re pushing the boundaries on every level. That could be true of rhythm and blues as well. I’m a musician.

David Sanborn

It’s funny – some producers ask me, ‘Man, how do you work on a Bieber record? That would kill my career.’ I can work on any record there is as long as they are good records and you’re pushing things forward.

Diplo

It’s good to keep working hard, pushing yourself, and, by scoring goals, you get the reward.

Jesse Lingard

It’s important to immerse myself in one thing at a time to do it well, but I could never do one thing only. I will always be a poet and a singer, because I’m interested in bending genres and pushing boundaries of what is considered a poem, what is considered a song.

Jamila Woods

It’s in all of our interests to keep pushing athletes to see the big picture, and that’s sometimes very difficult.

Anne Donovan

It’s nice to have more than one little one because then you’ll have – while one is pushing you in a wheelchair, the other one can open the doors for you.

Clyde Edgerton

It’s not that hard to be good, you can be good off raw talent. But I feel like it’s that extra step, doing work and putting a body of work in and doing things when nobody else is watching. When nobody else is telling you to do it, you’re pushing yourself to do it.

Aaron Donald

It’s so easy to fall into a comfortable groove in life where you do the things that you like, and because of that, often times, we don’t grow or change because we’re not pushing ourselves.

Flea

It’s something that I had been pushing down my whole life. The search for meaning, I guess, the whispering of the soul.

Ricky Williams

It’s unrealistic to expect the person you go to for sage advice also to be the person you go out and have a good time with. And it’s unlikely that he or she will be the same person who’s pushing you and motivating you to do more every day, like a coach or manager does.

Tom Rath

It’s very strange – several years ago, I was in the running for the ‘Young Frankenstein’ musical. Kristin Chenoweth was going to do it, but then she backed out because she got ‘Pushing Daisies’ on TV, and then, the next day, I went in for my final-final audition, and I saw Megan Mullally standing there.

Eric McCormack

It’s writing songs within the structure of telling a story, so it becomes a platform for diverse songwriting, for a writing process that’s broader than just figuring out a song. You’re also dealing with always pushing the story forward, with casting the voices, with the orchestration, with the arrangements.

Alan Menken

I’ve always been interested in working with top athletes, athletes who are pushing the edge and are really progressive in the outdoor space and adventure world.

Jimmy Chin

I’ve always been very competitive, and a part of that is pushing your boundaries – taking a risk and being able to live with the loss that comes with taking a risk.

Scarlett Johansson

I’ve always wanted to push someone who’s not really known but has mad talent. I don’t know if I’m going to do a publishing company or a record label, but I’m interested in pushing artists in any sense.

Kaytranada

I’ve been pushing for the longest time that you get the votes easier and with more enthusiasm when people feel like you’re addressing their concerns.

Jimmy Gomez

I’ve been telling anybody who would listen that I wanted to do a series for the last 10 years. But I wouldn’t do it if I was just another cop pushing bad guys up against the wall.

William Petersen

I’ve bought some Lanvin snake-print wedges, so maybe you’ll see me pushing the pram in those and my hotpants!

Abbey Clancy

I’ve enjoyed training again, I’ve enjoyed pushing myself in the pool and I’ll keep on swimming until I feel I cannot get any more out of myself.

Ian Thorpe

I’ve felt strongly that the advantage of Linux is that it doesn’t have a niche or any special market, but that different individuals and companies end up pushing it in the direction they want, and as such you end up with something that is pretty balanced across the board.

Linus Torvalds

I’ve got my foot in ‘Saturday Night Live,’ and my heart is there in a lot of ways, but I’m really pushing myself to do these new projects. It’s scary as hell, but it’s fun to have other things to keep my creative brain cooking.

Paula Pell

I’ve had the time to go through all the life phases with my parents, from being a bratty teenager, pushing them away, to saying later on, ‘Oh my God, I can’t believe what you did for me – thank you. I love you so much.’

Marcia Cross

I’ve heard from pre-K and kindergarten teachers alike that the Common Core is inappropriately pushing written literacy standards when the focus should be on the development of oral literacy skills. And that’s actually delaying the development of literacy.

Randi Weingarten

I’ve never been one who enjoys maintaining the status quo. I’m always pushing for new ideas, whether it’s in business or philanthropy.

Eli Broad

Jack Nicholson is a textbook actor who’s very intuitive. He is absolutely brilliant at going as far as you can go, always pushing to the edge, but still making it seem real.

Tim Burton

Just because you eat doesn’t mean you eat smart. It’s hard to beat a $1.99 wing pack of three at a fast-food restaurant – it’s so cheap – but that wing pack isn’t feeding anyone, it’s just pushing hunger back an hour.

Mario Batali

Just the type of music that was around at the same time as I was writing. Some of it was wicked, definitely. But there was just one direction which I thought could be pushed that no one was pushing.

Tom Jenkinson

Kanye West is my older brother, an inspiring guy and someone who keeps pushing my level up further and further.

Estelle

Kids need to open up to their parents. And parents should realize that when kids are pushing you away, that’s the time to really step in.

Alexa Vega

Know who you are and stay true to it. Have a point of view, keep your head down when noise tries to drown out your inner voice, and whatever you do, keep pushing.

Christina Tosi

Many athletes are seeking new and novel ways of pushing their limits, and the challenge of running back-to-back races is certainly one way to test the boundaries.

Dean Karnazes

More and more, I enjoy hearing people who are good at their instruments and who’ve found a distinctive voice. In death metal, a lot of guys are Eddie Van Halen disciples, but they take his style to really expressionistic places. It’s a real pleasure for me to hear people pushing their craft.

John Darnielle

Most of the people I know in show business don’t need anybody pushing them at all. They’re extremely aggressive.

Helen Reddy

Mostly what I try to do is build emotion. Only I’d prefer not to do it by telling you about emotion but by pushing that emotion down.

Rebecca Stead

My coach is pushing me harder than ever to make sure I stay at a good level.

Usain Bolt

My dad was the way he was, but he also gave me a motto: never say die. Just to keep pushing and pushing, fighting until the end. He put it in my head that you’re always going to fight, and you’re always going to beat them.

Jason Day

My dad, as a guy, had to quit school in the ninth grade, fought in the Battle of the Bulge. And spent his life pushing wheel barrels of heavy wet cement. So we’ve gone from pushing cement to now in one generation pushing legislation. But we always want any president to succeed, to do well; that means America does well and Americans do well.

John Barrasso

My elementary school teachers were big on pushing kids to read. If you read a certain amount of books, they would provide you with incentives, sort of like what we are doing with the WrestleMania Reading Challenge.

Rey Mysterio

My experience as a newspaper reporter was invaluable in terms of getting me to the kind of writing I do now. It gave me a work ethic of writing every day and pushing through difficult creative times. I mean, there’s no writer’s block allowed in a newsroom.

Michael Connelly

My favorite models are always going to be the people who are pushing the boundary and challenging what it is to be a model.

Barbie Ferreira

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

My mother was a big influence. She kept pushing me because I was very shy and inhibited. And schoolwork was very difficult for me because I couldn’t concentrate. I was failing almost every subject. To this day, I’m not too good at reading a book. But I was the president of my high school comedy group, and they treated me like a king.

Don Rickles

My parents knew there was no point in pushing the football thing. I hated the boots.

Matthew Williamson

My plays are always pushing towards cinema anyway. They’re down and dirty, real and more fun.

Martin McDonagh

My role is really just to try to make sure that the voice of all shareholders and employees is heard – that no one is bullying their agenda, their choice of a CEO, or their selection of who should be the board members. Benchmark, I believe, has been pushing their agenda at the expense of those stakeholders.

Shervin Pishevar

My white counterparts are always pushing the line, and they are fearless, so why can’t I do that, too?

Larry Wilmore

My whole life, I’ve wanted things before I was ready. I was always pushing for the next job, the next success. I was so focused on achieving and the path that I was missing some great point about life.

David Duchovny

Nobody is pushing me. Nobody is telling me what I do.

Kristine Opolais

Nobody knows what you have in you until you’ve done it, so I just keep pushing those boundaries, and I figure it will all come out in the wash.

Greta Gerwig

Nothing is more false than the notion that the triumph of Communism is inevitable or that the Communists are steadily pushing the free world into a corner.

Robert Kennedy

Obviously I’d love to work with any of these great directors because every time I’ve worked with them I’ve gained a tremendous amount as an actor. Each director has his own way of pushing you towards improving yourself.

Zhang Ziyi

Often in companies, you’ll see tensions between sales and marketing. Sales people will want to give discounts to clients because they often get paid a commission based on how much they sell. So they’re always pushing to give discounts because that will increase sales. Marketing, however, is judged by overall profitability.

Charles Duhigg

On film and TV sets, they let you sit down. Theater is like pushing a boulder up a hill each night. It’s a fun boulder, but it’s a boulder.

Cristin Milioti

On the campaign, I’ve had the privilege of advocating for important issues that affect all women, like demanding equal pay for equal work, pushing to raise our minimum wage, and promoting the idea of paid family leave.

Ann Callis

On the one hand, there are individual actions such as throwing, pushing, touching, rubbing. It is these individual actions that give rise most of the time to abstraction from objects.

Jean Piaget

One by one, all of my college buddies had taken these nothing-special entry-level jobs, pushing papers for $18,000 or $21,000 a year (and hating the work besides), and I’d turn up my nose and tell them I wasn’t about to get out of bed for anything less than $50,000. That was my line, my attitude.

Bill Rancic

One chord is fine. Two chords are pushing it. Three chords and you’re into jazz.

Lou Reed

One finds limits by pushing them.

Herbert A. Simon

One of my greatest pleasures in motor racing is qualifying. You have loads of freedom from pushing a lap the whole way. I’ve always been very good in qualifying in the past; everything I’ve done, I’ve got pole positions.

Bruno Senna

One of the most important things you can do in your life is to learn to pull back the curtain of fear so you can see it for what it really is – the enemy blowing a lot of smoke and pushing your buttons.

Victoria Osteen

One of the things that always was Fall Out Boy was trying new things and kind of pushing ourselves in different directions.

Patrick Stump

One thing about pushing yourself outside your comfort zone is that you’re going to make mistakes, and you’re going to fall flat on your face sometimes.

Doug Liman

Only when God was said to have died did various leaders, professions and sectors risk pushing themselves forward as successors.

John Ralston Saul

Onstage was where I felt the most confident and in control and free, and as I’ve gotten older, it’s gotten more and more daunting. And I think that’s also part of my desire to keep confronting that and pushing through to find that childlike or youthful ignorance against fear and keep at it.

Ari Graynor

Opening for certain acts after so many years of headlining obviously made us resentful. It was kind of hard watching all these bands, who I really believed didn’t deserve to be on top musically, going ahead and pushing us out.

Robin Zander

Our nation stands at the crossroads of liberty. Crushing national debt, rampant illegal immigration, insane business regulations and staggering national unemployment are pushing our nation into unchartered territory.

James Lankford

Overspending is as certain a part of the holiday season as overeating. But pushing away from both the table and the cash register at least a little bit sooner can make the post-holiday hangover hurt a little bit less.

Jeffrey Kluger

Passion is different than desire. People that are successful recognize passion. You have to be willing to work at it. I love the image of pushing a boulder uphill – it will flourish you.

John Schneider

People are fed up with broadcasters pushing the boundaries too far.

Tim Pigott-Smith

People are pushing against the fabric of society all the time.

Andrew Vachss

People can’t pay you to care. People can’t teach you to care. But when you find something that you care about, you give it everything you’ve got. You never settle. And you are always pushing to learn and be better and support those around you. All I’ve tried to do in my career is care.

David Droga

People constantly face problems they’ve never seen before, and they have to solve them somehow. So a million people come up with a million solutions that are just a little bit different. If computing is being done by fewer resources, there will be enormous security gains by pushing things into standard practices.

Whitfield Diffie

People keep pushing me to be the center of attention… I would prefer to be on the sidelines, because that’s where you see more.

Gong Li

People like myself have been pushing, competing, and promoting female MMA for a long time, and to see the fans accept a female division in the UFC so quickly is vindication that all that hard work amounted to something.

Miesha Tate

People pushing the idea that everyone can live to be 100 are perpetuating a myth that goes all the way back to the Bible.

S. Jay Olshansky

Performing is the craziest workout for me, because I feel like, on the first day of tour, I’m going nuts. Halfway through, I’m just so tired but obviously you keep pushing yourself because you have fans watching you.

Hayley Williams

Perpetual pushing and assurance put a difficulty out of countenance and make a seeming difficulty gives way.

Jeremy Collier

Personally, I feel like there should be some sort of cap on the quads, but we should still be pushing it to a certain number.

Nathan Chen

Playing with decks, for me, has always been about trying new things. I make it a point to keep trying different things, keep pushing it a little bit at a time.

Eric San

Politics colours everything, and anyone who wants change is necessarily political. As an environmental campaigner more or less since I left school in the early ’90s, I have always been involved in lobbying, campaigning and pushing for changes.

Zac Goldsmith

Post 9/11, brown people had this force pushing us together. It’s like we’re all being looked at with fear and suspicion; we’re all being targeted, so how do you support yourself and your communities?

Hari Kondabolu

Pushing for excellence is a fight. You have to fight to hire the right employees, fight to get the supplies you need, to move line items around. Being a great manager means pushing to get those few extra inches every day. It’s almost like a football game – the team that wins sometimes wins by just inches.

Jon Taffer

Pushing the boundaries of polite society does not just fall under the purview of crime fiction authors.

Karin Slaughter

Pushing the boundaries of what’s acceptable – to me, that’s something I’m definitely interested in and want to pursue.

James Duval

Pushing the envelope’ sort of implies that you’re inside the envelope with everyone else, and you’re trying to find the edges on the outsides.

Louis C. K.

Pushing the envelope, musically speaking, is what needs to be done to rise to the top.

Luis Fonsi

Pushing through when times get difficult, perseverance. It’s an important trait to have as an athlete, and as a human being in general.

Cooper Kupp

Pushing Tin,’ I went to air traffic control school in Toronto for that. Passed with flying colors, by the way. If I ever become an air traffic controller and I’m the guy in charge of your plane, you’re in good hands.

Billy Bob Thornton

Putting something in a movie because it’s in the news doesn’t make it political to me. If you’re not going outside the same old, same old, if you’re not pushing the envelope, then you’re not doing anything. A good movie is a political thing.

Sean Penn

Rap is the only interesting music left – it’s the only genre that’s still pushing itself, and experimenting in a way that I find exciting.

Harmony Korine

Republicans are pushing legislation forward that will improve the effectiveness of and bring more accountability to U.S. foreign assistance around the world and bring democracy even further into the light.

Virginia Foxx

Republicans are so far out to the right, it’s pushing people into the Democratic Party.

Julian Castro

Revenue is not where the focus of the company is at. We are focused on pushing out cool products like our analytics.

Alan Schaaf

Rivalry is one of the factors pushing me. While my back was turned, the Norwegians managed to achieve the first Arctic crossing in winter. I didn’t want the same to happen in the Antarctic.

Ranulph Fiennes

Running alone is the toughest. You get to the point where you have to keep pushing yourself.

Walter Payton

Science fiction is my way of pushing the imagination onward. It’s a way to understand how the world will look in the future.

Bernard Werber

Scorsese is a fan of improv and is always pushing actors to think up something that would make the scene more fun. He loves any idea that helps the scene be alive.

Michael Stuhlbarg

Sleeping with your child, wearing your child in a sling as opposed to pushing them around in expensive strollers, those are things that matter biologically and sociologically for the structure of a family.

Mayim Bialik

Snowboarding is about having fun, pushing one another creatively, and not putting anyone down along the way.

Hannah Teter

So a more sensible thing it seemed to me was to go to Silicon Valley and be pushing on the technology companies to accelerate the use of audio and music in computers.

Thomas Dolby

So cartooning, for me, is an honorable thing. It’s pushing the envelope. It’s the truth of something through exaggeration.

Bill Sienkiewicz

So much of the music I love is polarizing. People might either hate it or love it, but they remember it because it was different. That means it was pushing buttons and not just following trends.

Aubrie Sellers

So now we are pushing economic reform, bank reform and enterprise reform. So we can finish that reform this year, in September or October. Then our economy may be much more, you know, normalized.

Kim Dae Jung

So there’s kind of a simultaneous aspect to pushing the boundaries, and being very safe.

Bill Sienkiewicz

Social issues is something I’ve been a part of changing and pushing for. It’s embedded and ingrained in my soul. It’s not something that personally I try to plan. It just comes in the heat of the moment.

Liz Cambage

Social Security’s future has gotten worse, and each year we delay reform adds to the cost we are pushing off onto our children.

John Goodman

Sometimes you have the trends that’s not that cool. You may have certain artists portraying these trends and don’t really have that lifestyle, and then it gives off the wrong thing. And it becomes kinda corny after awhile. It’s really about keeping hip-hop original and pushing away the corniness in it.

Kendrick Lamar

Somewhere down the line, the evil ones stole the legacy of hip hop and flipped it to a corporate type of hip hop. They decided to tell everybody ‘Well, this is what hip hop is,’ instead of coming back to the pioneers and getting the true definition of what hip hop is and what it was and what we been pushing for all these years.

Afrika Bambaataa

Sports teaches you to understand the meaning of a team. You need to be able to work with everybody; you don’t have to be their best friend. You can experience the fun of competition and driving toward a common goal without pushing to bond in some major way with each individual on a project.

Kathleen Kennedy

Stimulation-wise, I might be a little bit addicted when it comes to pushing my body to extremes.

Takeru Kobayashi

Strength training is a fantastic microcosm for a man’s life: pushing yourself through discomfort, every single day, is the only way to make measurable progress. It’s one of the few ways to grow as a man.

Steven Crowder

Studying whether there’s life on Mars or studying how the universe began, there’s something magical about pushing back the frontiers of knowledge. That’s something that is almost part of being human, and I’m certain that will continue.

Sally Ride

That’s all I’m programmed for: to keep pushing and to try to make the most of my career and my life, to take care of my family.

Clint Dempsey

That’s probably one of the most challenging things about our sport is walking the line between doing the tricks that you know how to do that are safe and pushing yourself.

Scotty Lago

That’s what I love about New York. So many people crowded together, pushing against one another. And that’s what I hate about New York. So many people crowded together, pushing against one another.

Brian Stokes Mitchell

That’s what university life is all about. Challenging, questioning, enjoying good people and good friends, and pushing yourself to the limit.

David Robinson

The 1994 elections that brought Newt Gingrich to power in the House decisively shaped the remaining years of Bill Clinton’s presidency, pushing him further to the right and bringing out his latent tendency to govern every day as if an election were being held the next.

Noah Feldman

The actors that I love to work with, they’re hard on me. They’re pushing me.

Abel Ferrara

The best businesspeople have a hunger to make their todays better than their yesterdays. They have a staggeringly large appetite for pushing the envelope.

Robin S. Sharma

The challenge is maintaining your interest over a long career, as opposed to pushing hard with no longevity. I’m surprised that I’ve been able to dance as long as I have.

Damian Woetzel

The Chinese are quite clear what their interests are and very consistent on pushing their interests.

Lee Hsien Loong

The desire for self-improvement is vital. There is no point in pushing children; they need to be the ones who want to learn new skills.

Tony Buzan

The fact that I’m often pushing my voice as hard as I can is from playing in nightclubs in Albuquerque where you don’t have a good sound system.

James Mercer

The final phone call that said we’re going to be picked up again was just a miracle. We’ve overcome the impossible and we’re still pushing forward. I know John is smiling and so happy that he gets to watch us on TV.

Kaley Cuoco

The first four months of writing the book, my mental image is scratching with my hands through granite. My other image is pushing a train up the mountain, and it’s icy, and I’m in bare feet.

Mary Higgins Clark

The Fosters’ is such a fun show to shoot, and I always look forward to getting the new script because we keep pushing the boundaries.

Maia Mitchell

The hardest thing to do is to fail and keep pushing at the same time.

Christen Press

The higher the unemployment rate, the more leverage I have to ‘encourage’ you to ‘do what it takes’ to keep your job. And so you work even more hours, pushing unemployment up and wages down. And that, my friends, is one of the little tricks that keeps you poor and me rich.

Nick Hanauer

The idea of the Songun revolution is an idea of giving importance and precedence to military affairs in implementing the masses’ cause of independence, the socialist cause, and pushing ahead with the overall revolution and construction with the revolutionary army as the core force.

Kim Jong-un

The immigration policies that Donald Trump and the Republicans are pushing are downright hateful and must be stopped.

Deb Haaland

The inner me was always under attack by authority, by the way my parents wanted me to be brought up, by these English schools I went to. So I’ve always felt this kind of anti-authoritarian strain in me, pushing to express itself despite the obstacles.

Edward Said

The international community is pushing things forward in Bosnia… but it is doing it at expense of the Muslim people. I feel it as an injustice, these are the things that I cannot live with.

Alija Izetbegovic

The Internet is pushing us – in good ways and in bad – to realize that the official version of events shouldn’t always be trusted or accepted without question.

Jenna Wortham

The jet stream is a very strong force and pushing a balloon into it is like pushing up against a brick wall, but once we got into it, we found that, remarkably, the balloon went whatever speed the wind went.

Richard Branson

The kid who throws his spaghetti from the high chair onto his father’s face, he’s pushing back. He’s sticking it to the man as he sees it. I like that. So that is punk.

Henry Rollins

The last thing I’m trying to do is trying to look to go out into a fight. Ask anybody who knows me, I’m not the first guy to go around and just start pushing people.

B. J. Penn

The main force pushing toward reduction in inequality has always been the diffusion of knowledge and the diffusion of education.

Thomas Piketty

The man upstairs is pushing the buttons, and if your name happens to be on that button, well, thank you.

Mario Andretti

The name of the game is to keep from pushing the accelerator pedal so hard that we speed up the aging process. The average American, however, by living a fast and furious lifestyle, pushes that accelerator too hard and too much.

Dan Buettner

The one thing the blues don’t get is the backing and pushing of TV and radio like a lot of this garbage you hears. They choke stuff down people’s throat so they got no choice but to listen to it.

John Lee Hooker

The only people I have seen who have been truly pushing for the truth are the family members.

Sibel Edmonds

The only person that ever stumbles is a guy moving forward. You don’t stumble backwards; you stumble forward, and you never stumble when you’re stationary. So don’t worry about stumbling. Keep pushing it forward.

James Carville

The parts of physics that are exact are the parts of physics that are exact. The parts that are inexact are vastly greater. Sensible scientists don’t waste their time pushing against doors that endlessly will not give. They are opportunistic and go where they can, but there are pitfalls in that.

Paul Samuelson

The practices are what I live for. They’re so much fun, I think, just because there’s not too much pressure. You’re really pushing your friends to do the best run and put together the best run, and you’re also just having a good time.

Red Gerard

The Pre-Raphaelites, while very bothered by what the establishment thought of them, also utterly rebelled against it. In everything – social, sexual, emotional – they were out on a limb, pushing the boundaries.

Samuel Barnett

The real great news is, in the piracy capitals of the world, Netflix is winning. We are pushing down piracy in those markets by getting the access.

Ted Sarandos

The road to success is filled with women pushing their husbands along.

Thomas Dewar

The SEALs were very good in teaching me hard skills – that means resilience, pushing past your mental and physical boundaries; and having an enormously high threshold for pain.

Jonny Kim

The Sound Of Silence’ taught us that we shouldn’t be afraid of pushing the boundaries.

David Draiman

The thrill of pushing limits and breaking the rules is in our blood. But we New Yorkers have a secret that we don’t want the rest of the world knowing… We love our dogs.

Georgina Bloomberg

The way to be successful in the software world is to come up with breakthrough software, and so whether it’s Microsoft Office or Windows, its pushing that forward. New ideas, surprising the marketplace, so good engineering and good business are one in the same.

Bill Gates

There are 12 million illegal immigrants in this country – drawing welfare benefits, sending their children to public schools, and pushing down wages for American workers – but the problem extends well beyond amnesty and open borders.

Sam Graves

There are a lot of really valuable services that are always pushing you to communicate with other people. But there are relatively few services that are about helping you be the person you want to be and fulfilling your ambitions.

Ben Silbermann

There are no pat answers – we’re pushing through some new frontiers, and lessons of the past don’t always apply.

Jim Barksdale

There are so many Al Anon fans and friends who have shown me wonderful love, prayers, thoughts! I thank everyone for this. It feels great to have wonderful people behind you, pushing and praying for you. Mostly, I don’t want to let myself down, but they encourage me not to let them down.

Steven Adler

There are so many women who contributed in a very real way in pushing for the space program during the time in which there was a lot of competition to get into space first, and to know that there were African-American women who were integral in that success is pretty phenomenal.

Mahershala Ali

There are two ways of exerting one’s strength: one is pushing down, the other is pulling up.

Booker T. Washington

There have been so many people that have come up and embraced me as an example of what it’s like to face something tough and just get up the next day and keep pushing.

Ann Romney

There is a group of entrepreneurs pushing the envelope, government officials that are making significant changes despite the odds, and visionary writers, academics, and colleagues whose work confirms, amplifies, and stretches my own thinking.

Robin Chase

There is a view of Russian exceptionalism, that they are a unique civilisation, a view right since Ivan the Terrible that Russia is a special civilisation with a special culture. Putin is pushing that now.

Simon Sebag Montefiore

There is not enough funding for basic sciences in India. We have to invest in a big way, and I am pushing that idea.

A. P. J. Abdul Kalam

There is nothing better than having a personal-best day, being in shape and pushing myself beyond my own limits.

Dan O’Brien

There was a stage when Balanchine and I didn’t talk. I was trying to develop my classical technique as opposed to the fast-track technique that he was pushing. We were very quiet with each other. But after two years he saw what I was doing and sent messages through other people that, yes, this is good.

Gelsey Kirkland

There will come a time when the public will tire of me and let me know it. That’s when I retire. But so far, I’ve continued to grow. I keep pushing myself to improve.

Barbara Mandrell

There’s a constant tension in climbing, and really all exploration, between pushing yourself into the unknown but trying not to push too far. The best any of us can do is to tread that line carefully.

Alex Honnold

There’s a logic to dreams that doesn’t necessarily follow linear narrative. You don’t know why things happen, it’s your subconscious pushing you, to give you information.

Justin Theroux

There’s a lot of similarities, I think, between a thriller and a comedy because it’s all about tension. It’s about building tension and setups and payoffs and misdirections and surprising people and sort of pushing the boundary.

Jon Watts

There’s nothing more daunting than a musical, but there’s also no more direct line to joy. Getting there, though, is like pushing treacle up stairs.

Tim Curry

There’s something about actors – not stars, but actors – if they have the character, and someone is pushing and shoving them to be the best they can be, they enjoy that.

Beeban Kidron

There’s something I will say: In the U.S., people are very patriotic. Their patriotism is obvious. In France, for many years, you had to fight to be patriotic. People are pushing us from loving our own country.

Marine Le Pen

There’s something in my voice tonally that’s like a boy, so I started being able to do boy voices and to be known as having a naturalistic boy tone without pushing it.

Pamela Adlon

There’s something really cool about taking oily coloured paste and pushing it around with these hairy sticks and making something that looks like you. That’s the magic of painting.

Kehinde Wiley

They’re pushing credit cards. They don’t take Visa, but they do take American Express, or they don’t take this one, but they take that one, or you’d better bring this one, or if you forget who you are, look on your credit card; it will be there.

Bill Janklow

This ought to be a season for cooperation in terms of pushing our economy forward, job creation, steadying the middle class, and laying the groundwork for a better future. And that’s what we want to work on with Republicans and Democrats.

David Axelrod

Too many startups get in the habit of continually raising more and more money, which has the deleterious effect of both pushing out profitability and limiting your exit options. The less rounds of capital you need to raise, the more of your company you get to own.

Jay Samit

Toxic people defy logic. Some are blissfully unaware of the negative impact that they have on those around them, and others seem to derive satisfaction from creating chaos and pushing other people’s buttons.

Travis Bradberry

U.K. welfare cuts are pushing more children into poverty; that is beyond dispute.

Nicola Sturgeon

Uber was probably the perfect inflection point of a world that is changing so fast in terms of consumers that are… pushing that button and using the mobile phone as the remote control for their life.

Shervin Pishevar

Understanding science and pushing the boundaries of science is what makes me immensely satisfied.

Bill Gates

Usually, people have a tendency to be caught in the worries concerning the future or in the regret concerning the past. There is some kind of energy that is pushing them to run, and they are not able to establish themselves in the present moment.

Thich Nhat Hanh

Valegro just loves his job. I don’t have to force him to do anything, I just sit there and steer, and off I go. There’s no sweating, no pushing, no pulling. He knows his job, and it’s just fantastic.

Charlotte Dujardin

Vocally, I’m definitely pushing out more. That feels good. It’s very freeing. I’ve always been very private and consciously private. Now it’s kinda like, ‘Who cares.’ I’m gonna be free and gonna be me. I feel good.

Ciara

Voters are smart. They know the difference between a Democratic Party that wants their vote and a Democratic Party that believes in making their life better. They’ll forgive you for pushing a policy they don’t like as long as they believe you’re doing it because you genuinely believe it’s what’s best for the country.

Jason Kander

We all enjoy pushing ourselves to accomplish our objectives. But we don’t need stress to get there.

Andrew J. Bernstein

We all serve a purpose. My purpose isn’t to be rejected. My purpose isn’t to think small or to be introverted. This door closed is literally pushing me to the next door.

Nate Parker

We are all totally committed as elite athletes. To think that pushing people around and bullying them is the best way to get results out of them is just ludicrous.

Victoria Pendleton

We are not in a situation where the minorities are demanding something and the majorities are pushing back saying ‘We don’t want it.’

Lee Hsien Loong

We are pushing ahead as fast as we can for all audiences, whether for the business user, the child, or the digital music enthusiast.

Jim Allchin

We are pushing for Medicare-for-all. That’s an economic issue – it really is. And if we can work toward a fair, more-equitable system for working families, everybody would have health care.

Deb Haaland

We are pushing hard to find quality advertising clients.

Ben Nicholson

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

We are pushing towards the dream of having our independent state with Jerusalem as its capital. If there is a real project that aims to resolve the Palestinian cause on establishing a Palestinian state on 1967 borders, under full Palestinian sovereignty, we will support it.

Ismail Haniyeh

We are redefining what leadership looks like and pushing for every single person to be part of that conversation.

Michelle Wu

We cannot give our students all that they expect, whether by way of the quality of their schooling or by way of the jobs that they were hoping to get. Student frustration is a worldwide phenomenon, pushing our societies into adjusting faster than they are used to.

Arthur Lewis

We decided to have the baby at home because we wanted it to be a natural birth, and it turns out that it was 30 hours of natural. Eight hours of pushing – that’s the part that men don’t understand. Women go, ‘Oh, dear, oh, dear God, eight hours of pushing?’ And the men are like, ‘Okay, eight hours of pushing.’

Evangeline Lilly

We embrace two-legged beings, and can warm to four-legged beings, too, but for most people, six legs is pushing it. Most don’t need multi-eyed, antennaed face time.

Diane Ackerman

We had the boy’s name picked out, but we didn’t have a girl’s. When he turned out to be a boy, we were so relieved. Literally, in the middle of contracting and pushing, and with my wife being drugged – out and half – lucid, we were still coming up with names.

Paul Reiser

We have an amazing engineering team in the company pushing the limits of device physics and some great partners in manufacturing.

Jensen Huang

We have been pushing forward on a new way of storytelling we call ‘collaborative journalism’ on behalf of a number of our clients.

Richard Edelman

We have run out of creativity for children and teachers alike in the name of pushing up standards.

Shirley Williams

We have this determination to keep going and keep pushing ourselves creatively.

Luke Hemmings

We have to open hearts and change minds while at the same time pushing for laws that protect LGBTQ people from discrimination.

Sarah McBride

We just want to be sure that what we’re creating is pushing the ball forward for women and diversity in media.

Jennifer Konner

We must ensure that more binding, durable, and enforceable fiscal rules go hand-in-hand with funding certainty for countries pursuing sound and sustainable economic policies. We need to keep pushing forward towards a comprehensive solution to the challenges of the eurozone.

Enda Kenny

We need to distinguish between stress and stimulation. Having deadlines, setting goals, and pushing yourself to perform at capacity are stimulating. Stress is when you’re anxious, upset, or frustrated, which dramatically reduce your ability to perform.

Andrew J. Bernstein

We saw ‘Swiss Army Man’ and fell in love with the Daniels, who are adventurous filmmakers and radical storytellers, pushing the boundaries.

Anthony Russo

We should be pushing our boundaries. After all, we Britons are explorers and adventurers.

Helen Sharman

We shouldn’t be afraid to fail- if we are not failing we are not pushing. 80% of the stuff in the studio is not going to work. If something is not good enough, stop doing it.

Jonathan Ive

We think the government should be pushing for more encryption. That it’s a great thing. You know, it’s like the sun and the air and the water.

Tim Cook

Wendy and I both wanted kids, but since we were pushing 40, the clock was ticking.

Lisa Cholodenko

We’re always going to party and have fun. We’ll always be pushing it and leaving you with something to remember.

Pepa

We’re at this place where we’re pushing the next stylistic envelope.

Anna Chlumsky

We’ve heard a lot in recent polemic about how to win the fight for the corner office. But pushing up against a glass ceiling is practically a luxury when you consider the millions of women who can feel the floor dropping beneath their feet.

Tina Brown

What drives me is to still feel creative and like I’m pushing myself as an artist.

JC Chasez

What I’m pushing for is an economic discipline that will be closer to other social sciences; in particular, we should be more pragmatic about the methods that we are using instead of pretending that we have our own scientific apparatus with very sophisticated mathematic models that distinguish us from sociologists and historians.

Thomas Piketty

What sets ‘Some Nights’ apart from anything we’ve ever done is the hip-hop influence. Not so much the actual sound of hip-hop, but more the vibrato and the artistry that comes with it. Right now, the artists that seem to be pushing to be the greatest artists and are trying to change the world are hip-hop artists.

Jack Antonoff

What the art world has done, it has been constantly been pushing the boundaries about what art can be. It’s like expanding its territory.

Tom Rachman

What you end up seeing when you look at history is that people who have been good at pushing the boundaries of possibility, and exploring those frontiers of good ideas and innovations, have rarely done it in moments of great inspiration. They don’t just have a brilliant breakthrough idea out of nowhere and leap ahead of everyone else.

Steven Johnson

Whatever I lack in size and strength and speed, I kind of make up for in being grittier. When it comes to something like basketball I’m definitely not the best guy on the court, but I love elbowing and pushing people out or boxing them out.

Steven Yeun

Whatever you do, never do the duck face – that’s the worst look for any girl out there. Some girls think that pushing out their lips looks fabulous, but it doesn’t.

Coco Rocha

What’s fun about comedy is you’re pushing things a little further than you would in a drama; you’re pushing reality a little bit more.

Jason Katims

When I first got out to Hollywood, they were pushing me for sitcoms, and I didn’t really have an interest in them. I wanted to do films and slowly worked that way. And then it became, I guess, this curse of the leading man.

Brad Pitt

When I first started doing press, one of the things people started pushing was this idea that I’d somehow escaped something. And I was really offended, because I hadn’t escaped anything.

Eddie Marsan

When I first went to Israel, I saw soldiers pushing Palestinians around and thought, ‘I can’t stand this’. Then I’d meet somebody in a bar saying what wonderful people the Palestinians are and what mamzers the Jews are, and I’d think, ‘Hang on’. It should be hard to make up your mind on any serious subject.

Howard Jacobson

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

When I started with the national team, it was made very clear I was going to be the backup to Christie Rampone and Rachel Buehler. So for the first few years, it was just me training my heart out and pushing those centerbacks to be the best they could be.

Becky Sauerbrunn

When I thought about Detroit, I would think big city, very urban – not a lot of places to walk around, not a lot of parks. I sort of pictured Manhattan almost, where, besides Central Park, it’s all city and big buildings. But now that I’m here, you see people pushing strollers, people hanging out in the park.

Erin Cummings

When I was 16, I spent a year pushing trollies around a car park, and that wasn’t fun. I didn’t love working in a supermarket; it wasn’t for me. It is for some people, and that’s totally cool.

James Bay

When I was a kid, the people that used to push other people around, if someone whacked them, then they wouldn’t be pushing people around again. But you can’t really do that with adults.

Jason Statham

When I was about 19, I shot a tape of me doing magic just to people on the streets, and I would edit together all the reactions and I kept pushing this idea, and then ABC came on board and made my first show.

David Blaine

When I was young, there were bars called the ‘Hungry Hole,’ and in those same neighbourhoods are now gay people pushing baby carriages.

John Waters

When I write, when I’m going hot, I don’t want to write more than four hours in a row. After that, you’re pushing it.

Charles Bukowski

When I’m stuck in my writing, the world is amiss. If I’m eating a sandwich, it’s an unsettled sandwich. If I’m in the shower, it’s an incorrect shower. It’s profoundly uncomfortable. But it’s what keeps me pushing.

Melissa Rosenberg

When people come to see my stand-up, they get a chance to see my characters interact with each other. I enjoy pushing my characters to the limit. No matter how far out there I go, I look for things that make the characters human.

Dana Carvey

When there’s somebody racing side-by-side, when somebody’s right next to me and they’re pushing and we’re both tired, we’re both fatigued, I want to be able to beat them mentally.

Apolo Ohno

When they told me I couldn’t sit on the Senate floor with an iPad – that the technology wasn’t even permitted – I breathed deep and knew that I was going to have to start pushing.

Cory Booker

When things don’t come so naturally to you, you want to persevere, you want to keep pushing yourself to overcome obstacles that prevent you from having the kind of life that you want to have.

Daniel Tammet

When you – when you – and this is still going on today – are making your money by pushing paper around, when you should be making your money by investing venture capital in various job-creating things, that makes it much harder to recover.

Howard Dean

When you are pushing yourself to not go back to the same well, you’re gonna come up with something different, or you’ll find songs that are different.

Hillary Scott

When you can produce measurable, replicable results, it builds confidence and motivates you to keep pushing forward.

Jay Shetty

When you do men’s wear, it’s less about thinking outside the box than about pushing the walls of the box outward. Men want to be evolutionary, not revolutionary.

John Varvatos

When you don’t have people in your life pushing you, can you push yourself?

Tori Amos

When you go into a game on offense, you make a couple moves and see what the defender is going to do. Then you pretty much can figure out what he is going to do against you – whether he carries his hands low or high, whether he is bumping or pushing, those type of things.

Oscar Robertson

When you look at someone like Sacha Baron Cohen, you have to really respect the boundaries he is pushing as Bruno or Borat.

Will Ferrell

When you see young players coming into the squad and pushing you, no matter what age you are, you have to react. You have to worry about yourself and perform as well as you can. If you end up looking around at others, wondering who’s performing better, you take your eye off the ball.

Frank Lampard

When you start a novel, it is always like pushing a boulder uphill. Then, after a while, to mangle the metaphor, the boulder fills with helium and becomes a balloon that carries you the rest of the way to the top. You just have to hold your nerve and trust to narrative.

Jim Crace

When you start talking about elections being rigged, you’re pushing people beyond democratic governance. And it’s a very, very dangerous thing to do.

Bruce Springsteen

When you’re 17 and you have an idea, people don’t really listen to you. I came out of an environment where my parents were always pushing me to do what I wanted and be creative, and I was not used to the industry’s way of thinking.

Robyn

When you’re performing, you just have to keep pushing through. You’re human, and you’re going to make mistakes. I think even Beyonce has tripped on stage, and she’s Beyonce! We’re all human beings, and sometimes we trip in our high heels! I barely perform in high heels. I don’t know how those girls do it.

Megan Nicole

When you’re rehearsing, you get really inspired in the beginning, but then it becomes repetitious and you lose the magic. How do you get the magic again? The magic happens when you’re not pushing it.

Nadine Velazquez

When you’re working on a creative thing, everyone has an idea, and they’re pushing it. The first time you work with anybody, you have to get comfortable with the way another person pushes hard for what they want.

Edward Norton

Whenever I am not traveling during the winter, I am pushing hard in the gym. Even when I am traveling, I try to fit a workout in at the hotel. And if the hotel doesn’t have a gym? You can get a good workout in your room with an exercise band and some imagination.

Charlie Kimball

Whenever people ask me: ‘Why didn’t you get up when the bus driver asked you?’ I say it felt as though Harriet Tubman’s hands were pushing me down on one shoulder and Sojourner Truth’s hands were pushing me down on the other shoulder. I felt inspired by these women because my teacher taught us about them in so much detail.

Claudette Colvin

While I sign off on trades or free agents, I’ve rarely overruled my basketball people’s decisions. But I’m not shy about steering the discussion or pushing deeper if something doesn’t make sense to me.

Paul Allen

While leaders spend considerable time and effort trying to envision markets and pushing out innovation, empathy can often generate simple, yet breakthrough ideas.

John Gerzema

While President Bush’s tax give-aways for the rich are pushing us further into debt, he compensates by increasing the out-of-pocket costs to our veterans.

Tom Harkin

While some people may think being a chef only entails making enticing dishes and pushing the culinary boundaries, being a part of the food industry involves much more.

Marcus Samuelsson

With each project I’m always pushing for clarity.

Caroline Polachek

With fame comes opportunity, but in my opinion, it also includes responsibility – to advocate and share, to focus less on glass slippers and more on pushing through glass ceilings and, if I’m lucky enough, then to inspire.

Meghan Markle

Write a story a great writer would write. Because part of becoming an artist is pushing through all the disbelief of those around you, deciding that you are a writer when you have no idea what a plot is or whether what you’ve written is any good, or anything.

Karen Bender

Yes, I would agree that America, just like Spain was in the 17th Century, is the main empire of the world and they are the ones who, on the surface, are the most pushy: pushing their language, pushing their culture – or what there is of it – pushing by force their system on others.

Viggo Mortensen

You accept failure as a possible outcome of some of the experiments. If you don’t get failures, you’re not pushing hard enough on the objectives.

John Poindexter

You can be intuitive when you’ve got a more expansive role. You can get into the poetry of telling the story rather than just pushing buttons.

Willem Dafoe

You can create the perfect triceps by just pushing yourself off your wall.

Jean-Claude Van Damme

You can have the best product, but if you don’t have a plan – a label pushing it, the support of a network – you can’t make it big with a product. It’s all about distribution.

Romeo Santos

You can only dance for so long, but you can act until you’re dead, so… I fell in love with it and I want to keep doing it and pushing myself.

Kenny Wormald

You can sit down with Reason or Ableton and literally in a couple of hours make a very good-sounding record. But then a lot of people become contented with that, rather than pushing themselves to making something that sounds great.

Moby

You can’t reminisce too much. Because you’ve got to keep pushing forward, you know?

Daniel Caesar

You do a play, or you go on set for the first day of filming: if you don’t have nerves, and you don’t have any kind of adrenalin pushing you forward, then something is wrong.

Mark Strong

You don’t know what the country is ready for unless you’re pushing that envelope, and I was told that I couldn’t develop ‘Will and Grace’.

Warren Littlefield

You gotta go out and do the stuff that’s going to be pushing the sport and stuff that’s going to be next level and scary. It’s all about going out and doing those tricks and pretty much surviving.

Scotty Lago

You have to keep pushing toward those dreams no matter what setbacks happen.

Anthony Hamilton

You hear ten seconds of a song, and you know it’s OutKast. There’s a strangeness about it because it’s catchy, but it’s not just pop for the sake of pop. They’re pushing the envelope.

Washed Out

You just keep pushing yourself harder and harder to achieve more and more – I don’t think it’s ever quite as glamorous as it appears on the outside.

Sean Parker

You know, when I put out records that may not work or connect with the audience, it’s because I’m pushing myself as an artist creatively, because I’m just bored doing what everyone wants me to do.

T.I.

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

You only do good work when you’re taking risks and pushing yourself.

Sally Hawkins

You should never feel comfortable. There is something wrong if you are. You should always feel under threat, on the edge of your seat and pushing yourself. Win one and you want to win more. It’s never-ending.

Damon Hill

You want, as an artist, to be pushing yourself to do what you haven’t done before.

T. C. Boyle

Young people have a right to optimism, and rightly so; human beings have grown and developed and accomplished wonderful feats in the world. But what mires me in pessimism is the fact that so much of life is pain and sorrow and willful ignorance and violence, and pushing back against that tide takes so much effort, so much steady fight. It’s tiring.

Jesmyn Ward

You’ve got to keep pushing, keep driving, because in this business, you’re going to hear ‘no’ a lot more than you hear ‘yes.’

Taylor Lautner
