I watched guys who were professional fighters HIT each other 30 times, and it still didn't go ANYWHERE. I THOUGHT 'that wasn't very effective' But I SAW if you got someone in a choke, you can END a fight in seconds, and I pushed toward that.

The United States has MADE a massive effort SINCE the end of the Second WORLD War to secure the dominance of its films in foreign markets - an achievement generally pushed HOME politically, by writing clauses into various treaties and aid packages.

My parents were very OPEN about what kind of TALENT I had. They never pushed me to become an ACCOUNTANT because they KNEW that WOULD be just absolutely ridiculous. So they were encouraging in what I am able to do with some success.

There's full consensus in the MILITARY that WOMEN shouldn't be in person-to-person combat. I don't KNOW if we have enough experience to know whether this is the right approach. But women can be ELSEWHERE. We have mandatory military SERVICE in Chile. I pushed for women in all areas.

I SUPPOSE there are many, but I cannot imagine ever having a more perfect collaboration than that which Penn-san and I shared. It was based upon mutual trust, RESPECT, and a DESIRE to have our own WORK pushed to new PLACES. And it always resulted in delight.

If I'm pushed, I'd also have to admit I don't like PEOPLE with allergies. They just annoy me. There seems to be something far too self-centred about it. 'No thanks, I'm allergic.' Why not just say 'No thanks'? I wasn't asking for your medical history, I was just PASSING around the nuts. TRYING to be FRIENDLY, that's all.

I had the FLU in New YORK and pushed the PRESIDENT of the UNITED States off the front pages.

I'd gig three to five times a week while I was doing my A-levels. I'd ALWAYS COME in with a runny NOSE 'cause I was always ill and run-down. But I just pushed through.

That's one THING I FOUND out about myself when I LEFT WWE: I'm that GUY that needs to be pushed full throttle. That's when you're gonna get the best out of me.

I was never pushed into the religion by my MOTHER or ANYONE else. I MADE up my own MIND when I was old enough. I am not a religious person, but I am spiritual.

I WANTED PEOPLE to know that my GRANDMOTHER was the REASON why I did comedy in the FIRST place. She pushed me to really get out there and pursue my dreams.

I never REALLY, really pushed my BOYS into BOXING, but I GUESS it's in the BLOOD.

I used to own a dingy and can still SAIL one if pushed, but I like the PLEASURE BOATS.

If pushed to say what I like about Elizabeth, who, as I'm sure most of you KNOW, overtook QUEEN Victoria this week to become our longest-serving monarch, it WOULD be her uncomplaining, getting-on-with-it ethic.
