Still, year after year strong mercury rules fail in Washington under pressure from corporate interests. Why? Not because the risks of mercury poisoning aren’t real. No, lobbyists for the big industries just say they can’t afford to make changes.
Senator John Kerry
Whenever the pressure of our complex city life thins my blood and numbs my brain, I seek relief in the trail; and when I hear the coyote wailing to the yellow dawn, my cares fall from me - I am happy.
Hamlin Garland
Take young researchers, put them together in virtual seclusion, give them an unprecedented degree of freedom and turn up the pressure by fostering competitiveness.
James D. Watson
It would be possible to describe everything scientifically, but it would make no sense; it would be without meaning, as if you described a Beethoven symphony as a variation of wave pressure.
Albert Einstein
I find my blood pressure rising when Clinton`s cultural shock troops participate in homosexual rights fund raisers but boycott gun rights fund raisers - and then claim it`s time to place homosexual men in tents with boy scouts and suggest that sperm-donor...
Charlton Heston
An artist never works under ideal conditions. If they existed, his work wouldn`t exist, for the artist doesn`t live in a vacuum. Some sort of pressure must exist. The artist exists because the world is not perfect. Art would be useless if the world were p...
Andrei Tarkovsky
[After she gives birth] There is no way I am going to worry about missing out on work or the pressure to lose weight. At the moment I am not even planning any work.
Isla Fisher
I`ve walked into my dressing room and had a desk full of fake boobs that the producers have put there. That`s pretty blatant. (On the pressure to "fill out" her movie roles.)
Julia Stiles
[On preparing for his role in Apollo 13 (1995)] Ron [Howard] called me up and said, "we`re going up on this zero-G airplane and we, uh - for research. You don`t have to go. You don`t have to go. Absolutely no pressure. If you don`t want to go, you don`t h...
Kevin Bacon
I`m not intimidated by lead roles. I`m better in them. I don`t feel pressure - I feel released at times like that. That`s what I`m born to do.
Morgan Freeman
("What was the most diificult time of her life?"): Probably when I was at the National Ballet School of Canada, from the ages of nine to fourteen. It`s the best dance school in the world, but an extremely competitive one, and there was a lot of pressure f...
Neve Campbell
There is so much pressure to look a certain way in this town. But it`s nice to have a little meat on you, and I hope I inspire women to appreciate their muscular calves.
Jessica Biel
I wrote that because, at the time, I`d gained some weight and the pressure that people put you under, the pressure to be thin, is unbelievable. I was just 18 and you shouldn`t be thinking about that. You should be thinking about building up your character...

Beyonce Knowles
I admitted a long time ago that I wanted to go to Hollywood because there are more opportunities there, and I wanted to work in movies. Mvies are my first love. And that`s why I went. I don`t feel any added pressure, because I`ve already admitted it in th...
Ioan Gruffudd
(On retiring from skateboarding) When I decided to retire, I thought I was getting a little too old to be skating for a living. There was a lot of pressure to be at the top of my game all the time, and my heart just wasn`t in it anymore. But I haven`t giv...
Jason Lee
There`s always been a lot of pressure and tension on the line. If Pi (1998) didn`t work out, I have no idea what my career would be. I don`t think I would have gotten another shot at it. If Requiem for a Dream (2000) didn`t work out, they would have calle...
Darren Aronofsky
It`s ironic. People know me because I play the monsters, but I`m most recognized from the small roles in which they see my face. None of that stuff really bothers me. Whether I`m recognized in or out of a costume isn`t a kind of pressure I put myself thro...
Kevin Hall
There`s always a new thing happening to me that`s even more extraordinary, so pressure gets harder. But I like it when it`s hard. Anyone can do it when it`s easy. When it`s hard and you can do it good, you`re proud of yourself. There`s going to be more pr...

Celine Dion
[on worrying about the high expectations of Lord of the Rings fans when he was cast as Frodo:] "I definitely felt the pressure. I wanted to live up to all of the expectations. But when I got into costume and worked with the others, I just didn`t think abo...
Elijah Wood
Acting is a great way to make a living, especially when I consider what my alternatives were and probably still are. I mean, you are only making movies. It is a lot less pressure than being a surgeon; although it seemed like the only other thing that I wa...
