As is everything in Islam, they are required, but if your not ready to do them, and you do them out of complusion, not out of your own intention to follow Islam and please Allah then it is of no use.
If that intention is not there, then your actions are just that, actions. Actions without a sincere intention are not rewardable, actions done for others beside Allah do not classify as a relgious act.
I was told that it's better to do it grudgingly than to not wear it at all. Maybe it's just where I live....

That's kinda why I left Islam, you had no choice in anything and too many restrictions.
