Famous quotes containing the words extra and/or pressure:
“Celebrity is a mask that eats into the face. As soon as one is aware of being “somebody,” to be watched and listened to with extra interest, input ceases, and the performer goes blind and deaf in his overanimation. One can either see or be seen.”
—John Updike (b. 1932)
“Adolescence is when girls experience social pressure to put aside their authentic selves and to display only a small portion of their gifts.”
