I’ve had to work by myself at combines before and forced myself to work out alone all the way back to high school. You have to be self-motivated.
I want to be very clear: if we are to sell this business, we are not a forced seller.
I think there is a sense of being forced at this time to look at America’s really large shadow and that’s not all that bad.
Businesswomen are fine. But they shouldn’t be forced to pay for the raising of the family. It’s the husband’s job. That’s the way I see it.
My great fear of being attacked or trivialized by my contemporaries made me concentrate on what I was trying to do as a writer. It forced me to draw some conclusions that were my own.
Nor should the U.S. military be forced to remain in Iraq essentially as an army for one side of a civil war.
Nobody held a gun to my head and forced me to write recaps about the tenth season of ‘American Idol.’ Although I feel like someone must have and I just forgot about it.
I was forced to be an artist and a CEO from the beginning, so I was forced to be like a businessman because when I was trying to get a record deal, it was so hard to get a record deal on my own that it was either give up or create my own company.
Certain personal issues forced me stay away from movies for a while but that does not mean I was idle and cut away from cinema. It was during that break that I wrote two books and found the time to dream about new scripts and plots.
I can be forced to live without happiness, but I will never consent to live without honor.
It’s weird because movie-making, and especially movie theaters, have always been so old-school, and it wasn’t until 3-D that a lot of them were forced to have digital projectors and even digital distribution.
As a former federal judge, I am cognizant of the legal issues. As governor, I am forced to deal with their ramifications.
It was the desire to see black girls and our experiences in the books that I was given to read at school that forced me to speak my truth. I launched #1000BlackGirlBooks, a book drive to collect the stories of women of color.
I’m a small businessman and I’m well aware of the uncertainties of the economy, exactly what the ‘inflationary spiral’ means when I’m forced to raise prices to my customers, and how taxes can eat into your earnings.
Arab youth are taught to wonder, ‘Since the Holocaust was a European affair, why are the Palestinians being forced to pay for the creation of Israel?’
For me ‘Oliver Twist’ is a political novel. It is a furious critique of the treatment of orphans and poor children who were forced to spend their early lives in ghastly institutions.
I want China to stop appropriating our technology. China is, through forced technology transfer and through stealing our technology, but really forced technology transfer, is cutting out the beating heart of American innovation.
When I started modeling at 15, there were no provisions for on-set tutors, and so I dropped out of school. Although I was one of the lucky ones who went on to a successful career as a model, as a child I should never have been forced to make that choice – between modeling and education.
There are no extraordinary men… just extraordinary circumstances that ordinary men are forced to deal with.
The only thing I can say that is wonderful about my mother is she forced me to learn three verses of the Bible every day of my life, and I’ve read the Bible now five times and it taught me the English language.
Early thirties for women is a very intense time. If you want kids, and you’re not in a relationship, there’s an urgency there, so they’re forced to mature quicker. It’s easy for a man in his thirties to be immature – you can have kids into your fifties, whereas women just can’t.
The habit of building houses upon piles, which was first forced upon the people by the position they had chosen, was afterwards followed as a matter of taste, just as it is in Holland.
I grew up around a bunch of rappers and street dudes and they were always like: ‘yo! She’s a little different but she’s her.’ They respected it because you know it wasn’t forced, I wasn’t posing to be something I wasn’t.
It would actually feel forced or unnatural to try to do a different singing style or to try to change my sound completely.
I’m a Southerner – I never take satisfaction in touching a nerve. I guess if I’m forced to find a good side, I’m glad that people are talking about an issue that hasn’t really been discussed all that much. I’m glad that people are talking about it from the black perspective and the white perspective.
I’m into everything. My iPod is very eclectic – if you kept it on shuffle, you’d be amazed. For example, I was forced to grow up on Dolly Parton. My mum was obsessed by her. She bought all this memorabilia for the front room. It’s ridiculous.
It’s always most interesting when Batman starts out as that lone Dark Knight and then is forced to have to interact with someone else, whether it’s Dick Grayson or Damian Wayne or anybody else, and deal with their pesky personalities.
I love sleeping and to inculcate the habit of early rising, my dad forced me to take up a sport. That was the only reason I started playing cricket in the first place. And thereafter it continued.
What’s really sad is that a lot of very talented people are being forced to do things that are very embarrassing and I don’t intend to be one of them.
No-one is forced to stand for Parliament; no-one is compelled to become a minister. If you take on those roles, which are great privileges, you also take on big responsibilities.

Even putting aside the Judeo-Christian morality upon which the Constitution and our nation’s culture are based, the notion of forced euthanasia would contradict the long-held body of medical ethics to which all American doctors must adhere.
I think art is the only thing that’s spiritual in the world. And I refuse to forced to believe in other people’s interpretations of God. I don’t think anybody should be. No one person can own the copyright to what God means.
I’ve become wary of interviews in which you’re forced to go back over the reasons why you made certain decisions. You tend to rationalize what you’ve done, to intellectually review a process that is often intuitive.
I’ve been forced to deal with my character assassination.
I want to be an Actress that is forced to change in order to play certain characters or tell stories. I don’t want to just play a version of myself.
I have never forced anyone to offer prayers in the team or to keep a beard.
I’m not chasing a hit record – that’s why I can make a hit record. It’s not forced at all; it just happens. It’s off of vibes.
Working on ‘Laguna’ was great because just being in production and shooting stuff and having to go back and relive some things, and there were some lines here and there that the producers would want us to say, and just kind of, you’re forced to recreate moments, and just working on the show was so much fun.
Nobody should be forced to face evil with empty hands.
The Muslim Brotherhood and the Salifist parties are a real force in the Egyptian society. No civil, liberal government can succeed, even after new elections, if the Islamists are forced to work underground as a foe and the country remains divided.
I know that my Republican colleagues are as ashamed as I am that the United States is forced to borrow over $1 trillion from foreign nations to pay for our national priorities like reconstruction of the gulf coast and the war in Iraq.
Chefs are artists, and I couldn’t be happy with my art if I was forced to use cheap ingredients.
A film is like a mad arranged marriage, with all these people who don’t necessarily want to be with each other forced into this intimate, exhausting process.
I was forced to earn some extra glue and made the hysterically shortsighted decision to pose for photos in very tiny and colorful swimwear for a fitness magazine, that would become the fuel to many a comical fire in my clubhouse environments over the years.
I have nothing in my life besides my work. I am obsessed with it. I leave my house only when I’m forced to.
The English prison system is altogether mediaeval and outworn. In some of its details, the system has improved since they began to send the Suffragettes to Holloway. I may say that we, by our public denunciation of the system, have forced these slight improvements.
My grandmother lived under Japanese colonial rule until she was nine. Korea, still united and whole, was colonized in 1910. During this period of forced occupation, Japanese teachers taught Korean students how to view the world through their imperialist language, their history, their foreign tongue.
In its truest manifestation, where it gives judgments, poetry is super-luxury. It would be interesting to see what would happen to a High Court judge if he were forced to follow the true poetic formula, doing the job for love, being forced into pubs for relief.
The truth is my dad was a lovely man who had to retire early from his job as an engineer because he had osteoporosis. It meant he was forced to wear a harness and could hardly breathe.
On the ‘Star,’ you were forced to learn to write a simple declarative sentence. This is useful to anyone. Newspaper work will not harm a young writer and could help him if he gets out of it in time.
