I’m constantly pushing myself to evolve and be a better person and the best that I can be and that pushes me in my fighting career and personal life.
We make way for the man who boldly pushes past us.
The majority of my work in games, outside of ‘Depression Quest,’ has been experimental pushes into comedy games. I think there are a lot of intersections there.
The fact that my mother’s life was cut short is something that pushes me to always move forward and live the best life I possibly can. In a way, I feel like I can take her along with me through every experience, and in that sense, her beautiful energy and spirit will live on.
It’s art that pushes against psychological and social expectations, that tries to transform decay into something generative, that is replicative in a baroque way, that isn’t about progress, and wants to – as Walt Whitman put it – ‘contain multitudes.’
Wrestling pushes me, makes me accountable. It makes me who I am. I never felt I was just a normal person. Then I felt too normal, lazy, sedentary.
During the off-season when you see other people playing in the Super Bowl, you wonder, and you say to yourself, ‘Are you ever gonna get there and see what it feels like?’ And it pushes you a little bit harder during that off-season to work to try to get there the following year.
You have to look at the effects of something like ‘Little Britain,’ of how the stereotypes it pushes has impacted society and the way people interact with each other.
I like work that pushes the barrier of bad taste.
What I love about new technology is that it really pushes the art. It really pushes it in a way that you can’t imagine until you come up with the idea. It’s idea-based. You can do anything.
Well, I think it’s important to have some kind of a narrative engine that pushes the audience through the landscape. But I love films like ‘Apocalypse Now,’ which is a very mood driven film. It’s a magnetic force that’s pulling them through.
If the Negro in the ghetto must eternally be fed by the hand that pushes him into the ghetto, he will never become strong enough to get out of the ghetto.
I have a somewhat reclusive quality myself, and actually what’s great about New York is that it pushes you to be social because the streets are full of people.
The idol of today pushes the hero of yesterday out of our recollection; and will, in turn, be supplanted by his successor of tomorrow.
Time starts out as a notion. But after you turn fifty, time is not a notion anymore but a fact that you start feeling clearly, and in a way, it pushes you to become present in the present.
Take rejection as an eye-opener. Take it as something that pushes you and makes you do things better.
There are some ballets you can do for a long time. With others, you have to know when to stop. Some are very destructive. Forsythe’s choreography pushes dancers to the extreme. That’s why it’s best to vary. That way, you break your body a little bit in different places, but not a lot in one place.
My brother Ryan was on the Disney XD show ‘Pair of Kings’ where he played Lanny, the evil cousin to twin kings, for three seasons. His motivation to be a better actor always pushes me to work harder and try to be more like him. When he gets a role, he will study that character until he becomes that person.
It’s refreshing when plus-size styling is exciting and pushes boundaries rather than safe and boring.
If you go to business school, and you put a product out there in the world, and it’s working, the logic is to keep putting the same product out there. And I think that really bumps up against the creative process – and moviemaking, generally. And I think that our company really pushes against that.
I’ve always been critical about my work. It pushes me to work harder.
A director just pushes them a little this way or that way.
Its shocking to come from doing freestyles to having the No. 4 album in the country. It pushes me to do better and better so I can get to No. 1.
Life is very busy now. I find that in today’s cities, the public is very tired after working the whole day. When concerts start at eight o’clock, the wife pushes the husband to go to the concert, where some promptly fall asleep!
I love anything that really pushes the envelope as far as where it takes your mind. When it’s well written and brings you into a world that possibly could be, I think that’s the most entertaining for me – to see something that could actually take place and causes you to think.
There’s nothing like making a decision when you’re a football referee. It really pushes you to be very clear – to make that decision and to sell it to everybody who’s there. You believe in it, but you have to make sure other people believe in it, too.
I think the state has some serious problems. Just look at the layoffs going on across the state, not just in Chicago. It affects the middle class. It pushes people down.
Boys, young men, men of all ages are being captivated by the new visual grammar which pushes men to pout and posture.
The average person pushes an elevator button 6 or 7 minutes before realizing it’s not working. I did a study on this, you know.
I touched the limits of our political system, which pushes one to last-minute compromises. Explanations are rarely given. It plays to people’s fears because it hasn’t built an ideological consensus. It produces flawed solutions and too often ignores reality.
The humor is essentially dark for a cartoon and sophisticated. But at the same time, being a cartoon gives the writers more freedom than in a normal sitcom. It always pushes the line that, despite human failings, the Simpsons are really decent people.
I am pushed by my critics. I don’t want to say I want to prove them wrong, but it pushes me on the field to play with a chip on my shoulder, and I play best when I have a chip on my shoulder.
That’s what hurts the environmental movement – holding people to a standard they cannot meet. That just pushes people away.
Racism is earthbound – it’s something we only do to each other here on earth. Legacy, on the other hand, is otherworldly. It pushes us forward to our future.
In my mind, I think Lacey Evans and I work great together. She always pushes me to the best of my abilities. When we can come together I feel like we’re a very dominant team.
If you fail to make a mark, you might not get good work later. So, it is important for every actor to have a plan B to bank on. Here, nothing lasts forever. That’s why my husband pushes me to do different things in life.
The diet industry pushes these low calorie, calorie-counting diets, and that’s what I want to release people from.
In Malaysia where the front end pushes so much, extra engine braking is really going to help you.
The black radical agenda, which pushes us closer to freedom and the agenda to which I subscribe, calls for an eradication of white supremacy and an adoption of values and traditions endowed from the black experience.
The dream begins with a teacher who believes in you, who tugs and pushes and leads you to the next plateau, sometimes poking you with a sharp stick called ‘truth’.
No one comes into our house and pushes us around.
The law of unintended consequences pushes us ceaselessly through the years, permitting no pause for perspective.
I like Lady Gaga because I like that she pushes the envelope.
It’s good to have a healthy ego because that pushes you to succeed. But when you cross a line, and your views are not balanced, that’s when you get into trouble.
DC is good all round. He pushes the pace, makes you think what you’re doing, makes you uncomfortable.

I like being versatile and perhaps that’s what pushes me as an actor.
Don’t you have a machine that puts food into the mouth and pushes it down?
I think fractures in your childhood make you observe the world more as an outsider. Possibly it pushes you outside.
Everything that pushes up out of the earth I love. Everything under the earth, root vegetables, I love to cook.

When you are married to a guy who takes chances every day, who loves risk and has great intuition and great business instincts – when you’re married to someone like that who pushes you to dream big, you dream big.

The quality of competitors abroad really pushes your timings, something that’s tough to replicate in the country.
That’s what pushes me every day to want to be successful on the soccer field – being able to not only take care of my kid on a financial level and be stable but, most importantly, to inspire my child.
Every artist has the song where they say, ‘I wish I could have written a song as good as this,’ but they don’t feel like they’ve done it yet. It pushes you to evolve.
I think what pushes me every day is that I’m so afraid to fail. I think it comes from what I went through in school growing up and not being great in the classroom and having to work harder than everybody else.
