I never want to have to take certain roles, because I want to maintain a certain level of artistic credibility. But sometimes you’re forced to do things for the money.

I like the feeling of making things. It’s very very rewarding. And filmmaking is that type of experience, where you’re forced to collaborate with so many people. You’re involved in the beginning to end, you’re involved with so many elements, and when it’s done, you’re like, ‘I made this movie.’
If you go back in time to the ’60s, the ’70s, probably the early ’80s, British professional wrestling was the most respected region of professional wrestling on the planet, and somewhere along the way that got lost and wrestlers were forced to America or Japan or even Mexico to make a living.
I think about ‘The Simpsons,’ which has been going on for 25 years. Homer is still in his late 30’s. Lisa is 8, Bart is 10. Their stories are told. Yet the series keeps going on and on like a zombie that won’t lie down and die. That feels forced and unnatural. The characters never change, grow, age.
The benefits of our increasingly digital lives have been accompanied by new dangers, and we have been forced to consider how criminals and terrorists might use advances in technology to their advantage.
Some shots, for me, are a good shot even if it’s forced. The way it might look to a person watching, they might look at it like, ‘That’s a tough shot.’ But for me, it’s not a tough decision. I’m committed to those shots, and I spend time working on them.
The future battle on the ground will be preceded by battle in the air. This will determine which of the contestants has to suffer operational and tactical disadvantages and be forced throughout the battle into adoption compromise solutions.

Some women are forced by men to look a certain way to be accepted by the general public, and I find that terrible.

Howard University shocked me into realizing how desperately sick the Negro could be, how he could be led into self-destruction, and how he would not realize that it was the society that had forced him into a great sickness.

Architecture adds dimensions to my life that would be impossible to acquire if I retired. The beautiful thing about architecture is that every project is brand new. I am forced to renew myself with every project. Isn’t that wonderful?
If I had a reality show, it would probably be called ‘Keeping Fit with Jesse Tyler Ferguson’ because then I’d be forced to hit the gym every day.

WikiLeaks is what happens when the entire U.S. government is forced to go through a full-body scanner.
The reality of this Obamacare provision is that young adults will be forced to subsidize healthcare costs for older, financially stable, working-age Americans. At a time when 20-somethings face underemployment, record school debt and less economic opportunity, it is unfair to saddle them with this burden.
At times, we were forced to go through a history of dependence, unable to determine our own destiny. But today, we are at the threshold of a new turning point.
The forced influence of advertising has given us completely useless TV. You don’t want that on the Net. But most on-line information providers need to attract advertising – which slows download times and clutters the screen with windows.

There’s a common misconception about running for office. People think it’s dreadful, morally compromising work. But I’ve found the opposite is true. It made a better person and a better feminist. It forced me to take a hard look at my shortcomings.
I don’t think humor is forced upon my universe; it’s a part of it.
I don’t really rehearse, because I don’t really step into action until I’m forced to. The only way I prepare is just by memorizing it backward and forward so that when I get in the room, I can become the character and not think about the lines so much.
And so, today, if the state can no longer appeal to the old moral principles that belong to the Christian tradition, it will be forced to create a new official faith and new moral principles which will be binding on its citizens.

The geographical location of Sweden and, therefore, short growing season meant that the range of produce is not as abundant like say France, Italy or Spain. This influenced the cooking culture and forced cooks to be creative with a handful of ingredients. It’s a very modern way of cooking.
Defining marriage is a power that should be left to the states. Moreover, no state should be forced to recognize a marriage that is not within its own laws, Constitution, and legal precedents.
I know that we have to get in there and do something if we want to change the system and get a better government. But the whole task is very daunting.

It’s really good to be forced to get away and try something else, find something that’s exciting.
There has been enough suffering in our country, there has been enough of children whose dreams die before they have a chance to grow and there has been enough of our elders who, having served their nation, are forced into indignity in their old age.
