I don't care tuppence whether I'm forced into a leadership position or not. I'd much sooner not.
E. P. Thompson

I don't know whether these people are going to find themselves, but as they live their lives they have no choice but to face up to the image others have of them. They're forced to look at themselves in a mirror, and they often manage to glimpse something of themselves.
Antonio Tabucchi

I don't like being forced to reduce my thoughts to sound bites.
Leon Kass

I don't think humor is forced upon my universe; it's a part of it.
Manuel Puig

I forced myself to think what is the new concept and it became clear to me that it was risk, not only in technology and ecology, but in life and employment, too.
Ulrich Beck

I found myself in a race with Mother Nature to play as much baseball as I could before she forced me to stop.
Willie Stargell

I get a lot of mail from men who really identify with Stuart, you know, Sparrow's boyfriend. I love that. Even though I used to say I wanted men to read the strip even though there weren't any men in it, so they'd be forced to identify with the women.
Alison Bechdel

I got to work with my wife, Lena Olin, for the first time, which was great. I thought it might be difficult in some way to talk to one's wife in a different way but it was so not forced.
Lasse Hallstrom

I have forced myself to contradict myself in order to avoid conforming to my own taste.
Marcel Duchamp

I have known for some time that I can meet any man I want but that does not mean that I want to meet anyone. I certainly don't like being forced into situations.
Sharon Stone

I have never thought where I will go, or forced any targets on myself.
Sachin Tendulkar

I have nothing but sympathy for the people who are forced to work with me. I'm better now at picking out those that want to play that game with me, and those that don't.
Alton Brown

I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain.
James A. Baldwin

I just want to live each moment, but it's kind of hard to do that when you are asked to analyze yourself constantly. But it's also good in that you are forced to think about things that you don't ordinarily think about. I think it's strange.
Alexis Bledel

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.
Dennis Cardoza

I left my country because I was forced to, and I do not think that I am going to lose my language because I live in England.
Guillermo Cabrera Infante

I like New York because you're kind of forced to smell everybody else's funk. So it keeps you biologically attached to the world around you.
Jeffrey Wright

I liked the fact that I was forced to get inside of my emotions and to really try to figure out a lot of what I was going through.
Geddy Lee

I never staged a coup. They picked me up. Like I say, they forced me to become premier, maybe hoping that by that way, they send me to the electric chair.
Nguyen Cao Ky

I offer neither pay, nor quarters, nor food; I offer only hunger, thirst, forced marches, battles and death. Let him who loves his country with his heart, and not merely with his lips, follow me.
Giuseppe Garibaldi
