Quotations regarding 'Pressure'

Choose a letter: 
And I think the rolling polls put more pressure on them to sustain their beliefs and to improve their delivery of the policy and their delivery of the ideas so that they can garner support for whatever principle they're articulating.
Jim Bolger, New Zealander Statesman (1935-  )
Washington should revive international efforts begun during the Clinton administration to pressure countries with dangerously loose banking regulations to adopt and enforce stricter rules.
Kit Bond, American Politician (1939-  )
I think some of the pressure comes from the expectations of other people. Like if your father played baseball, they expect you to be the big lifesaver or something when you play a sport.
Barry Bonds, American Athlete (1964-  )
We've got a lot of pressure going. This is for my Latin counterpart.
Bobby Bonilla, American Athlete (1963-  )
It's always an enormous pressure when you do a sequel. The demands are so high, and it's expensive.
Jan de Bont, Dutch Director (1943-  )
The Nixon administration really put a lot of pressure on CBS not to run the second broadcast.
Ben Bradlee, American Editor (1921-  )
We worked under a lot of pressure... three days to do an episode, sometimes two in a week, 39 episodes a year.
Lloyd Bridges, American Actor (1913-1998)
I was always crazy about New York, dependent on it, scared of it - well, it is dangerous - but beyond that there was the pressure of being young and of not yet having done work you really liked, trademark work, breakthrough work.
Harold Brodkey, American Author (1930-1996)
A great deal of pressure was then built up to remove me from the club and my resignation was, finally, a forced one.
David R. Brower, American Environmentalist (1912-2000)
We had to do a lot of rehearsals to get it so that it was playable. What it did was make you practice. That's good for any musician to have that kind of pressure. It brings things out of you that might not come out if you don't have to reach for something all the time.
Ray Brown, American Musician (1926-2002)
Music itself is a great source of relaxation. Parts of it anyway. Working in the studio, that's not relaxing, but playing an instrument that I don't know how to play is unbelievably relaxing, because I don't have any pressure on me.
Jackson Browne, American Musician (1948-  )
Doing shows is always a side of skating that I've loved, it's the performing. I get to do that without the pressure, it's always fun between the skaters and the preparation, the show is always so much fun.
Kurt Browning, Canadian Athlete (1966-  )
Everyting negative - pressure, challenges - is all an opportunity for me to rise.
Kobe Bryant, American Athlete (1978-  )
Under the pressure of the cares and sorrows of our mortal condition, men have at all times, and in all countries, called in some physical aid to their moral consolations - wine, beer, opium, brandy, or tobacco.
Edmund Burke, Irish Statesman (1729-1797)
When I was coming up, I just wanted to play baseball and I'm doing what I love to do most. How can I feel pressure doing what I love to do?
Miguel Cabrera, Venezuelan Athlete (1983-  )
We're competing with everything: the beach, the mall, bookstores. Libraries are in a transition right now, caught between two forces, the old ways and technology. Libraries are under a lot of pressure to provide both.
John Callahan, American Actor (1953-  )
I mean, I'm a conservative. I believe that, you know, if you borrow too much, you just build up debts for your children to pay off. You put pressure on interest rates. You put at risk your economy. That's the case in Britain. We're not a reserve currency, so we need to get on and deal with this issue.
David Cameron, British Politician (1966-  )
And remember: without you, all we are is loud. No pressure.
Vivian Campbell, Irish Musician (1962-  )
The pressure people put on themselves and the rivalry between the teams is much more marked. And I think that's a good thing. As long as that rivalry remains within the spirit of competition, it con only spur everyone on.
Eric Cantona, French Athlete (1966-  )
The pressure of special interests, the demands of special sections of the state, the needs of friends, all must be subordinated to the good of the people as a whole.
Arthur Capper, American Politician (1865-1951)
