‘Communication Breakdown’ – it was punchy and direct, with a real attitude that was different to other bands going around.

# Jimmy Page

The whole thing about ‘The Rover’ is the whole swagger of it, the whole guitar attitude swagger. I’m afraid I’ve got to say it, but it’s the sort of thing that is so apparent when you hear ‘Rumble’ by Link Wray – it’s just total attitude, isn’t it?

I’m taking a bit of a wait-and-see attitude towards 3D.

My mother was the greatest mother in the world. She thought I was the greatest thing on two feet.

My dad was very explosive, God rest his soul. He could fly off the handle like no one I’ve ever known, and I have definitely got that in my personality: that ability to sort of smash the house up and then say, ‘Put the kettle on,’ to have that kind of attitude of, ‘Well, I’m OK now, so everybody else has got to be OK.’

You can measure a programmer’s perspective by noting his attitude on the continuing vitality of FORTRAN.

When I first started writing songs and being very explicit, it was hard, but one of the main things people respond to in my writing is that ‘just say it’ attitude of my songs.

My attitude about death is, going into the next room, and it’s a room that the rest of us can’t get into because we don’t have the key. But when we do get the key, we’ll go in there, and we’ll see one another again, in some shape or form or whatever. It’s not the end.

I guess a psychiatrist would say there’s some good to the venting process, but it does also promote an attitude of saying, ‘Hey there’s nothing wrong with being filled with hate; there’s so much of it around.’ I don’t like that.

My delivery can be intense, but it’s intense because I need to be heard. I know that people don’t usually listen, as it relates to constructive criticism, without getting offended. So, I speak my mind with an attitude that I don’t care if you get offended; I just want you to get the message.

The dignity of everyday life – the beauty of it, the attitude of it – is what I live around. And it is never on screen, and it is certainly never associated with Africa.

No rational argument will have a rational effect on a man who does not want to adopt a rational attitude.

There is an attitude that we should be able to have everything. No, you shouldn’t be able to have anything. I’d like a helicopter, but I can’t afford a helicopter, so I don’t buy one. People are buying stuff they can’t afford on credit. I bought my Ford hybrid with cash.

Regardless of the gender of the highest wage earner, the balance of power in the relationship will suffer if the higher earner uses control of the purse strings as a system of reward and punishment.

Everyone has attitude, and I think everyone should have attitude. But I know I have attitude, but that’s just, I think if you don’t have attitude, it comes only with self confidence. So if you don’t have self confidence, you won’t have attitude, and I think there’s a difference when you have attitude and when you have arrogance.

# George Takei

We have to remember that Putin was a member of the KGB. He has already demonstrated that kind of macho, dictatorial attitude. Russia has breached their pledge to uphold the Olympic charter.

For a writer only one form of patriotism exists: his attitude toward language.

# Joseph Brodsky

A person sets out to write a poem for a variety of reasons: to win the heart of his beloved; to express his attitude toward the reality surrounding him, be it a landscape or a state; to capture his state of mind at a given instant; to leave – as he thinks at that moment – a trace on the earth.

# Joseph Brodsky

One of the worst things that can happen to an artist is to perceive himself as the owner of his art, and art as his tool. A product of the marketplace sensibility, this attitude barely differs on a psychological plane from the patron’s view of the artist as a paid employee.

Social mores change all the time. In the mid-1970s, it would’ve been astonishing, say, to see two men holding hands in the streets. And the attitude to having a fling with a girl, or whatever, was quite different then.

Just because you’re a luxury brand doesn’t mean you have to have an attitude.

# Mike Love

I know there’s millions of problems in the world, but if you dwell on those, then you’re going to be miserable.

# E. F. Schumacher

An attitude to life which seeks fulfillment in the single-minded pursuit of wealth – in short, materialism – does not fit into this world, because it contains within itself no limiting principle, while the environment in which it is placed is strictly limited.

# Rick Riordan

Every child’s taste is different. Don’t worry if they’re not reading ‘War and Peace’ at age 12. First, build a good foundation and a positive attitude about reading by letting them pick the stories they enjoy. Make friends with a bookseller or librarian. They are a wealth of information on finding books that kids enjoy.

# Jack White

I grew up in a small, strictly-Catholic fishing village on the coast of Wales. The people there have a different attitude to life than those in Hollywood – people stick together more.

# B. R. Ambedkar

Democracy is not merely a form of government. It is primarily a mode of associated living, of conjoint communicated experience. It is essentially an attitude of respect and reverence towards fellow men.

# Corey Taylor

I have very diverse tastes in music, and I don’t, like, make distinctions between what I can’t and can’t listen to. In fact, I could never understand why anybody would do that in the first place. My attitude is, ‘I can’t make music if I don’t like music.’

# Kathleen Hanna

Women didn’t want to be on the stage with other women because they didn’t want their bodies to be compared. They didn’t want another female act opening for them because of this weird competitive and tokenistic attitude.

# Sun Yat-sen

We know a way now to make use of democracy, and we know how to change the attitude of people towards government, but yet the majority of people are without vision.

# B. J. Armstrong

When you’re going out with the attitude that you want to win, you can’t get caught up in the style of play.

When I pray, I always thank Mother Nature for all the beauty in the world. It’s about having an attitude of gratitude.

# Gal Gadot

For me, it was important Wonder Woman wouldn’t be a Goody Two-Shoes. She has a little bit of attitude, and when she fights, she has a smirk on her face. I didn’t want her to be polished. I want people to relate to her.

# Malorie Blackman

The worst thing about being the laureate has been the attitude of a tiny minority of adults who haven’t liked some of the things I’m supposed to have said and who have used it as an opportunity to be verbally abusive and nasty, but I haven’t let it rule my world!

# Andrew Weil

Gardening is not trivial. If you believe that it is, closely examine why you feel that way.

The fact is, gardening is just the opposite – it is, or should be, a central, basic expression of human life.

# Laurie Hernandez

I want to make sure I always show off my smile and have a positive attitude the whole time, whether it’s during a performance, practice, or doing an interview.

# Chuck Zito

I broke two knuckles in my right hand when I gave Jean-Claude Van Damme an attitude adjustment. I got nothing except a medical bill.

It may be a masculine attitude to take lovers, but it’s definitely prevalent. I’m certainly not the oldest person doing it – not that I’m doing it right now, but when I was.

# Tom Petty

I don’t think it’s a good attitude in your life to feel that you have to be rich to have self-esteem.

# John Howar

I have had the view that cutting wages is not the path to prosperity, and one of the great myths propagated about my attitude to industrial relations is that I believe in lower wages. I’ve never believed in lower wages. Never. Never believed in lower wages, I’ve never believed in lower wages as an economic instrument.

# Malcolm Mclaren

I always said punk was an attitude. It was never about having a Mohican haircut or wearing a ripped T-shirt. It was all about destruction, and the creative potential within that.

# Malcolm Mclarend

Sid Vicious began the age of participation in which everyone could be the artist. Sid proved that you don’t have to play well to be the star. You can play badly, or not even at all. I endorsed that attitude. If you can’t write songs, no problem – simply steal one and change it to your taste.

# E-40

I used to burn rubber at every light, mean mugging everything there was, cause that was my attitude.

# Adam Thielen

I have tried to have a really good, positive attitude.

In the business world today, failure is apparently not an option. We need to change this attitude toward failure – and celebrate the idea that only by falling on our collective business faces do we learn enough to succeed down the road.

# Naveen Jain

By understanding and harnessing the forces that drive human behavior, you can create a self-sustaining philanthropic effort that reaches millions of people.

# Jack Kemp

Just as the left has to be more willing to question ‘Government knows best,’ the right has to rethink its laissez-faire attitude toward government.

# Kid Rock

That’s what I love from metal, and that’s what I love from hip-hop. That’s what I love from any music that’s hard, that’s got an edge to it-The attitude in it.

# Diego Della Valle

Italian style is a natural attitude. It is about a life of good taste. It doesn’t have to be expensive. Simple but with good taste. Luxury is possible to buy. Good taste is not.

# Victoria Osteen

I think when you have an optimistic attitude, and you believe that God is guiding you, that you will find the good things in your life and that you will lead to good relationships and good people in your life. And you can make the most of what he’s given you.

# Victoria Osteen

With His love, you can wake up every day with an attitude of faith and expectancy.

It’s important to recognize that forgiveness is more than mere words; it’s a heart attitude that induces a spiritual transformation.

# Mariella Frostrup

I have a very childish attitude to books – a very non-analytic enthusiasm… like Alice falling down the chute.

# Mariella Frostrup

aQuite honestly, if we do manage to destroy the planet with our devil-may-care attitude to natural resources, I’d suggest we leave, as a dossier in our defence, the collected letters to agony aunts and uncles down the generations. It would certainly prove that we weren’t all bad!

# Steven Adler

I want to be in the big show, and to be in the big show, you have to practice. I have this attitude now that I’m going to take all the greatness I can. Nothing’s going to stop me.

# Dan Quinn

Adrian Clayborn is somebody that relentlessly brings that attitude, energy, and toughness.

# Dan Quinn

The attitude and identity that we want to play with doesn’t change.

# James E. Faust

All women have appealing features. I do not refer to model-type appeal, but rather that which comes from your personality, your attitude, and your expressions. I urge you to enhance the natural, God-given, feminine gifts with which you have been so richly blessed.

# James E. Faust

What is worthy or unworthy on the Sabbath day will have to be judged by each of us by trying to be honest with the Lord. On the Sabbath day, we should do what we have to do and what we ought to do in an attitude of worshipfulness and then limit our other activities.

# Rob Lowe

Some actors specialize in shooting weapons and punching people. Some have the market on playing buffoons cornered, others specialize in roles that require heavy makeup or outrageous wardrobe. Some trade exclusively in a post-ironic blase attitude.

# Earl Nightingale

Always keep that happy attitude. Pretend that you are holding a beautiful fragrant bouquet.

# Earl Nightingale

A great attitude does much more than turn on the lights in our worlds; it seems to magically connect us to all sorts of serendipitous opportunities that were somehow absent before the change.

# Robert Kennedy

In truth, the world is now a seamless web from which no nation, large or small, young or old, can disassociate itself. Every attitude and every action of every nation can affect the welfare and security of every other nation around the globe.

# Joel Osteen

People in tough times – it doesn’t mean they don’t have a great attitude.

# Joel Osteen

Any of us can be happy and have a good attitude when everything is going our way. But I believe it’s the real test of your character and of your faith to say, ‘Things are not going our way, but I’m still being good to people; I’m still attending church; I still have a good attitude.’

# Joel Osteen

It’s easy to get negative because you get beat down. You go through a few disappointments and it’s easy to stay in that negative frame of mind. Choosing to be positive and having a grateful attitude is a whole cliche, but your attitude is going to determine how you’re going to live your life.

# Joel Osteen

I believe if you keep your faith, you keep your trust, you keep the right attitude, if you’re grateful, you’ll see God open up new doors.

# Joel Osteen

I wouldn’t ever say if you’re having tough times then there must be something wrong with you or your attitude. Life’s a fight. It’s a good fight of faith. I encourage people to stay up, stay hopeful, stay faith-filled.

# Joel Osteen

I believe that when you think of the negative, and you get up discouraged – ‘There’s nothing good in my future’ – I really believe it almost ties the hands of God. God works where there’s an attitude of faith. I believe faith is all about hope.

# Elbert Hubbard

We awaken in others the same attitude of mind we hold toward them.

# Elie Wiesel

When a person doesn’t have gratitude, something is missing in his or her humanity. A person can almost be defined by his or her attitude toward gratitude.

# Richard P. Feynman

I think that when we know that we actually do live in uncertainty, then we ought to admit it; it is of great value to realize that we do not know the answers to different questions. This attitude of mind – this attitude of uncertainty – is vital to the scientist, and it is this attitude of mind which the student must first acquire.

# Richard P. Feynman

I thought one should have the attitude of ‘What do you care what other people think!’

# Pope Francis

Vanity, showing off, is an attitude that reduces spirituality to a worldly thing, which is the worst sin that could be committed in the church.

# Pope Francis

There is a need for financial reform along ethical lines that would produce in its turn an economic reform to benefit everyone. This would nevertheless require a courageous change of attitude on the part of political leaders.

# Denis Waitley

The winner’s edge is not in a gifted birth, a high IQ, or in talent. The winner’s edge is all in the attitude, not aptitude. Attitude is the criterion for success.

# W. Edwards Deming

The prevailing – and foolish – attitude is that a good manager can be a good manager anywhere, with no special knowledge of the production process he’s managing. A man with a financial background may know nothing about manufacturing shoes or cars, but he’s put in charge anyway.

# Walter Cronkite

Part of the new morality of the ’60s and ’70s is a new attitude toward homosexuality. The homosexual men and women have organized to fight for acceptance and respectability.

# Walter Cronkite

I can’t go into a mob scene and sense the mood and the attitude of the crowd. I can’t conduct man-on-the-street interviews or even get reactions that I can be sure are honest, because they know who I am.

# Henry Rollins

Everything I do, writing, touring, travelling, it all comes from the punk and hardcore attitude, from that expression – from being open to try things but relying on yourself, taking what you have into the battle and making of it what you will, hoping you can figure it out as you go. Make some sense of it.

# Molly Ivins

The only reason to have a positive mental attitude is that it makes life better. It doesn’t cure cancer.

# Molly Ivins

In order to understand why George W. Bush doesn’t get it, you have to take several strands of common Texas attitude, then add an impressive degree of class-based obliviousness. What you end up with is a guy who sees himself as a perfectly nice fellow – and who is genuinely disconnected from the impact of his decisions on people.

# Rahm Emanuel

My attitude is govern as if you’ve run your last race. That’s not to say I’ve run my last race, but govern with a liberation and a freedom; change your mind frame to operate that way.

# Norman Vincent Peale

Any fact facing us is not as important as our attitude toward it, for that determines our success or failure. The way you think about a fact may defeat you before you ever do anything about it. You are overcome by the fact because you think you are.

# Steve Prefontaine

For me, running against the Poles and Czechs would be like running against high school kids. And I hate all this gung-ho, run-for-the-red-white-and-blue attitude that the AAU spouts. If that’s important to some people, fine, more power to ’em. But, damn it, I wish they’d leave me alone to do what I want to do – run against the best.

# Jean Piaget

I have always detested any departure from reality, an attitude which I relate to my mother’s poor mental health.

# Joyce Meyer

I want to look my best for God. So many people have the attitude that if you’re a Christian you’ve got to dress bad, wear an old color, not do anything to your hair, have nothing. It’s no wonder that Christianity is not very attractive. I mean, how many people do you know in a Western culture that’s going to go, ‘Yeah, give me some of that?’

# Joyce Meyer

Hope is favorable and confident expectation; it’s an expectant attitude that something good is going to happen and things will work out, no matter what situation we’re facing.

# Joyce Meyer

If someone you know makes a bad decision or uses bad judgment, it doesn’t mean you have to allow that to alter your attitude. Why should you allow anyone else’s bad decisions to send you into a tailspin of misery?

# Kurt Cobain

I was looking for something a lot heavier, yet melodic at the same time. Something different from heavy metal, a different attitude.

# Kurt Cobain

There’s nothing better than having a baby. I’ve always loved children. I used to work summers at the YMCA and be in charge of, like, 30 preschool kids. I knew that when I had a child, I’d be overwhelmed, and it’s true… I can’t tell you how much my attitude has changed since we’ve got Frances. Holding my baby is the best drug in the world.

# Tom Brady

A lot of times I find that people who are blessed with the most talent don’t ever develop that attitude, and the ones who aren’t blessed in that way are the most competitive and have the biggest heart.

# Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

Neither the Christian attitude of love for all mankind nor humane hopes for an organized society must cause us to forget that the ‘human stratum’ may not be homogeneous.

# W. Clement Stone

Sales are contingent upon the attitude of the salesman – not the attitude of the prospect.

# W. Clement Stone

Like success, failure is many things to many people. With Positive Mental Attitude, failure is a learning experience, a rung on the ladder, a plateau at which to get your thoughts in order and prepare to try again.

# Ambrose Bierce

We submit to the majority because we have to. But we are not compelled to call our attitude of subjection a posture of respect.

# Tom Stoppard

If I had been asked to write 1,200 words for a newspaper tomorrow, on any subject, I would just do it rather than leave a white hole in the page. And I think it’s a very healthy attitude to take to writing anything.

# Betty White

I think it’s your mental attitude. So many of us start dreading age in high school and that’s a waste of a lovely life. ‘Oh… I’m 30, oh, I’m 40, oh, 50.’ Make the most of it.

# Ludwig Wittgenstein

Not every religion has to have St. Augustine’s attitude to sex. Why even in our culture marriages are celebrated in a church, everyone present knows what is going to happen that night, but that doesn’t prevent it being a religious ceremony.

# Ludwig Wittgenstein

Not every religion has to have St. Augustine’s attitude to sex. Why even in our culture marriages are celebrated in a church, everyone present knows what is going to happen that night, but that doesn’t prevent it being a religious ceremony.

# Ricky Gervais

I like grown-up comedy, where it’s about character and attitude and life as opposed to obvious gross-out and jokes.

# Ellen G. White

A minister of Jesus Christ should not be regardless of his attitude. If he is the representative of Jesus Christ, his deportment, his attitude, his gestures, should be of that character which will not strike the beholder with disgust.

# Richard Branson

My attitude has always been, if you fall flat on your face, at least you’re moving forward. All you have to do is get back up and try again.

# Ben Carson

We live in a country that used to have a can-do attitude, and now we have a ‘what-can-you-do-for-me?’ attitude, and what I try to do is find ways that we can develop common ground.

# Jimmy Carter

I separated from the Southern Baptists when they adopted the discriminatory attitude towards women, because I believe what Paul taught in Galatians that there is no distinction in God’s eyes between men and women, slaves and masters, Jews and non-Jews – everybody is created equally in the eyes of God.

# Orison Swett Marden

It is the hopeful, buoyant, cheerful attitude of mind that wins. Optimism is a success builder; pessimism an achievement killer.

# Orison Swett Marden

No one is mocked with the yearning for that which he has no ability to attain. If he holds the right mental attitude and struggles earnestly, honestly toward his goal, he will reach it, or at least approximate to it.

# Kourtney Kardashian

I know that, for me, I need to try to cover myself while breastfeeding so that no one snaps a picture. If this wasn’t the case, I probably wouldn’t mind as much because my son is my biggest concern. My attitude is, if someone sees a little somethin’ somethin’, don’t look if you don’t like it.

# Pat Riley

If you have a positive attitude and constantly strive to give your best effort, eventually you will overcome your immediate problems and find you are ready for greater challenges.

# Taylor Swift

I have so many indie bands on my iPod. What I don’t really understand is the attitude that if a band is unknown, they’re good, and if they get fans, then you move on to the next band.

# Pat Riley

There’s always the motivation of wanting to win. Everybody has that. But a champion needs, in his attitude, a motivation above and beyond winning.

# Nancy Pelosi

I do believe that during the Bush-Cheney administration, that Vice President Cheney set a tone and an attitude for the CIA.

# Melania Trump

Donald has a deep and unbounding determination and a never-give-up attitude. I have seen him fight for years to get a project done – or even started – and he does not give up! If you want someone to fight for you and your country, I can assure you, he is the ‘guy.’

# James Truslow Adams

Seek out that particular mental attribute which makes you feel most deeply and vitally alive, along with which comes the inner voice which says, ‘This is the real me,’ and when you have found that attitude, follow it.

# Eddie Vedder

I think music is the greatest art form that exists, and I think people listen to music for different reasons, and it serves different purposes. Some of it is background music, and some of it is things that might affect a person’s day, if not their life, or change an attitude. The best songs are the ones that make you feel something.

# Vladimir Putin

If you want my personal attitude, I would tell you that I don’t care about a person’s sexual orientation.

# Vladimir Putin

I have a very positive attitude to anyone who is protecting the environment, but it’s inadmissible when people are using it as a means of promoting themselves, using it as a source of self-enrichment. I don’t want to name any specific examples… but often, environmentalism is used to blackmail companies.

# Wilhelm Wundt

The attitude of physiological psychology to sensations and feelings, considered as psychical elements, is, naturally, the attitude of psychology at large.

# Seamus Heaney

At home in Ireland, there’s a habit of avoidance, an ironical attitude towards the authority figure.

# Gordon B. Hinckley

Meekness implies a spirit of gratitude as opposed to an attitude of self-sufficiency, an acknowledgement of a greater power beyond oneself, a recognition of God, and an acceptance of his commandments.

# Martha Beck

As a life coach, I love makeovers, from new clothes to surgery, pedicures to highlights. But redoing makes you feel better only if approached with the right attitude.

# Steven Biko

Black Consciousness is an attitude of the mind and a way of life, the most positive call to emanate from the black world for a long time.

# Steven Biko

Being black is not a matter of pigmentation – being black is a reflection of a mental attitude.

# David Byrne

It’s a fundamental, social attitude that the 1% supports symphonies and operas and doesn’t support Johnny learning to program hip-hop beats. When I put it like that, it sounds like, ‘Well, yeah,’ but you start to think, ‘Why not, though?’ What makes one more valuable than another?

# William Shatner

Over the years, I’ve become barraged by comments from people, such as, ‘Beam me up, Scotty!’ and I became defensive. I felt they were derisive and engendered an attitude. I am grateful for the success, but didn’t want to be mocked.

# Ivan Illich

The compulsion to do good is an innate American trait. Only North Americans seem to believe that they always should, may, and actually can choose somebody with whom to share their blessings. Ultimately this attitude leads to bombing people into the acceptance of gifts.

# Steven Spielberg

You can’t start a movie by having the attitude that the script is finished, because if you think the script is finished, your movie is finished before the first day of shooting.

# Bo Burnham

I know I’m probably digging for fresh fruit in the garbage, and as much as anyone, my attitude is, if stuff’s sincere, it’s gooey and boring and uninteresting. But it’s no way to live.

# Dick Gregory

You know, I always say white is not a colour, white is an attitude, and if you haven’t got trillions of dollars in the bank that you don’t need, you can’t be white.

# Christopher Hitchens

When I go to the clinic next and sit with a tube in my arm and watch the poison go in, I’m in an atitude of abject passivity. It doesn’t feel like fighting at all; it just feels like submitting.

# Ted Turner

I’ve never run into a guy who could win at the top level in anything today and didn’t have the right attitude, didn’t give it everything he had, at least while he was doing it; wasn’t prepared and didn’t have the whole program worked out.

# Jocko Willink

We named the book ‘Extreme Ownership’ because we really found that when we looked at not only at leaders but at teams that were the most successful, we found that the ones that had this attitude of extreme ownership were the ones that did the best, and it’s definitely an attitude that I had.

# Jocko Willink

There are a lot of inaccuracies out there when it comes to the SEAL training process. You will see guys carrying logs around on television. They think that the hardest part about being on a SEAL team is getting through that training. The fact of the matter is, if you have a good attitude, that training is fun. I had a blast.

# Rush Limbaugh

The attitude of the Democrat Party is that wherever there are Republicans they are so bad, they are so discriminatory, they are so racist, they’re so bigoted, they’re just such reprobates that we can’t afford to let them have any say whatsoever in what’s happening.

# Agatha Christie

Crime is terribly revealing. Try and vary your methods as you will, your tastes, your habits, your attitude of mind, and your soul is revealed by your actions.

# Jim Mattis

For whatever trauma came with service in tough circumstances, we should take what we learned – take our post-traumatic growth – and, like past generations coming home, bring our sharpened strengths to bear, bring our attitude of gratitude to bear.

# Russell Westbrook

My friends and I started that motto early in high school – that attitude, that mentality – from way back then: Want to go to Stanford? Why not? Want to play in the NBA? Why not?

# Sade Adu

I’m not anti-fashion, but I’ve always had a bit of a punk attitude. That’s important, I think. I do my own thing.

# Harvey Mackay

A smart manager will establish a culture of gratitude. Expand the appreciative attitude to suppliers, vendors, delivery people, and of course, customers.

# Bo Bennett

Spend some time this weekend on home improvement; improve your attitude toward your family.

# Paul Valery

Our judgments judge us, and nothing reveals us, exposes our weaknesses, more ingeniously than the attitude of pronouncing upon our fellows.

# Stephen A. Smith

While winning may not always personify the Big Apple, attitude certainly does. Players get called to the carpet. So do coaches, managers, executives, owners, and anyone associated with them. No one is safe.

# Mary J. Blige

I didn’t know how to show my self love, and I didn’t want anyone else to hurt me. So my tough girl attitude was like, ‘I’m not having it.’

# Tom Wolfe

The attitude is we live and let live. This is actually an amazing change in values in a rather short time and it’s an example of freedom from religion.

# Tom Wolfe

I can remember that on the shelves at home, there were these books by Thomas Wolfe. ‘Look Homeward Angel’ and ‘Of Time and the River.’ ‘Of Time and the River’ had just come out when I was aware of his name. My parents had a hard time convincing me that he was no kin whatsoever. My attitude was, ‘Well, what’s he doing on the shelf, then?’

# Chris Cornell

Hip-hop kind of absorbed rock in terms of the attitude and the whole point of why rock was important music. Young people felt like rock music was theirs, from Elvis to the Beatles to the Ramones to Nirvana. This was theirs; it wasn’t their parents’. I think hip-hop became the musical style that embraces that mentality.

# Eartha Kitt

A lot can be said with just a look, or the way the body moves. Each song is a different character. So each song takes on a different movement of the body. And the body has to go with the subject and the attitude that you have toward that subject.

# George Wallace

It seems that other parts of the world ought to be concerned about what we think of them instead of what they think of us. After all, we’re feeding most of them, and whenever they start rejecting 25 cents of each dollar of foreign aid money that we send to them, then I’ll be concerned about their attitude toward us.

# Angus Young

We played by feel. We felt as though you could put us on any stage, and we would find a way to win that crowd over. We had that attitude: We can’t fail. You might not like it right now, but you will.

# Angus Young

Nothing happened overnight. Every country we went into, we started at the bottom. We knew that because the music we were playing and the attitude we had, we knew we’d be at the bottom and have to work our way up.

# Lewis Grizzard

You call to a dog and a dog will break its neck to get to you. Dogs just want to please. Call to a cat and its attitude is, ‘What’s in it for me?’

# Richard Pryor

I was kicked out of school because of my attitude. I was not assimilating. So I went to work, taking any jobs I could get.

# Martina Navratilova

Life is about challenges and how we face up to them and the attitude we take into every day life so hopefully we’ll be able to motivate people to do more with their life.

# Yungblud

Oasis were massive for me, because of the attitude and what they represented and how outspoken they were. It felt like they were exactly like me.

# Shania Twain

It was just like a dream. I could have ended up with an album that’s not all that different from anything else coming out of Nashville. Mutt made the difference. He took these songs, my attitude, my creativity, and colored them in a way that is unique.

# Christian Louboutin

I mean, the shoe – there is a music to it, there is attitude, there is sound, it’s a movement. Clothes – it’s a different story. There are a million things I’d rather do before designing clothes: directing, landscaping.

# Amy Sherald

My father wanted me to be a dentist like him, or any doctor, really. There was this attitude of, ‘The civil rights movement was not about you being an artist.’

# Jesse Ventura

My attitude when I’m in Mexico is I wake up in the morning with nothing to do and I go to bed half done. I don’t wear a watch. When I live down there, I do nothing according to time. I eat when I’m hungry and go to sleep when I’m tired.

# Mark Wahlberg

And I tell you, having girls has made me a much better man. I have friends who are fathers, but they only have boys, and they have the same attitude toward women they always had, you know? And I don’t play that… My girls, you mess with them? I will bury you underground.

# Sylvia Earle

As a child, I was aware of the widely-held attitude that the ocean is so big, so resilient that we could use the sea as the ultimate place to dispose of anything we did not want, from garbage and nuclear wastes to sludge from sewage to entire ships that had reached the end of their useful life.

# Peter Diamandis

Many have built their careers buttressing the status quo, reinforcing what they’ve already accomplished, and resisting the radical thinking that can topple their legacy – not exactly the attitude you want when trying to drive innovation forward.

# Robert Redford

I guess I don’t like the fact that my life is becoming less and less my own – the prevailing attitude that you have an obligation to deliver yourself to the public. Actually, you’re delivered to the public whether you like it or not. I guess if you don’t like it, you should stop doing what provokes it. In my case, that’s acting.

# Nas

Man, me and Biggie were the biggest artists in New York. When he passed, I was so messed up. My attitude was messed up about him dying. There was an East-West thing back then, and I was in war mode.

# Michael Moore

What really went wrong is that General Motors has had this philosophy from the beginning that what’s good for General Motors is good for the country. So, their attitude was, ‘We’ll build it and you buy it. We’ll tell you what to buy. You just buy it.’

# Mark Spitz

The pool is terrible, but that doesn’t have much to do with my record swims. That’s all mental attitude.

# Mark Spitz

By making a comeback, I’m changing the attitude of people toward me. If I’d known that people would react so enthusiastically, I’d have done it years ago.

# Waylon Jennings

Mainly what I learned from Buddy… was an attitude. He loved music, and he taught me that it shouldn’t have any barriers to it.

# Coretta Scott King

Non-violence is a permanent attitude we bring to the breakfast table and bring to bed at night.

# Magic Johnson

If somebody says no to you, or if you get cut, Michael Jordan was cut his first year, but he came back and he was the best ever. That is what you have to have. The attitude that I’m going to show everybody, I’m going to work hard to get better and better.

# Mark Cuban

Culture is very important to the Mavs. Your best player has to be a fit for what you want the culture of the team to be. He has to be someone who leads by example. Someone who sets the tone in the locker room and on the court. It isn’t about who talks the most or the loudest. It is about the demeanor and attitude he brings.

# Shawn Mendes

I feel very comfortable with the U.K. tone and humour and laid-back attitude.

# Carrie Underwood

Being a part of SKECHERS is exciting. It is such a hip company with a great attitude and image.

# Kenny Omega

What true ‘Strong Style’ really is, is the battle of the heart of man. It’s not about how strong and how forceful you’re throwing your blows. It’s showing the never-say-die attitude of the human spirit. As long as it looks like you’re fighting and giving your all, people will believe.

# Aung San Suu Kyi

My attitude is, do as much as I can while I’m free. And if I’m arrested I’ll still do as much as I can.

# Aung San Suu Kyi

My attitude to peace is rather based on the Burmese definition of peace – it really means removing all the negative factors that destroy peace in this world. So peace does not mean just putting an end to violence or to war, but to all other factors that threaten peace, such as discrimination, such as inequality, poverty.

# Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

Today’s youth are told to get rich or die trying and they really shouldn’t take that attitude forward with them.

# Ted Nugent

I am Classic Rock Revisited. I revisit it every waking moment of my life because it has the spirit and the attitude and the fire and the middle finger. I am Rosa Parks with a Gibson guitar.

# Pope Benedict XVI

Having a clear faith, based on the creed of the church is often labeled today as fundamentalism. Whereas relativism, which is letting oneself be tossed and swept along by every wind of teaching, look like the only attitude acceptable to today’s standards.

# Walter Pater

Not to discriminate every moment some passionate attitude in those about us, and in the very brilliancy of their gifts some tragic dividing on their ways, is, on this short day of frost and sun, to sleep before evening.

# Octavio Paz

The idea of modernity is beginning to lose its vitality. It is losing it because modernity is no longer a critical attitude but an accepted, codified convention.

# Octavio Paz

A society is defined as much by how it comes to terms with its past as by its attitude toward the future: its memories are no less revealing than its aims.

# Maria Bamford

I love festivals because they seem like more of an artsy, supportive attitude – which benefits a more theatrical performer sometimes with having theater and other non-club venues, as well as the audience being filled with other artists. It’s nice to be with other comics, as usually at other road gigs, I’m solo for the most part.

# Umberto Eco

Religion has nothing to do with God. It’s a fundamental attitude of human beings, who ask about the origins of life and what happens after death. For many, the answer is a personal god. In my opinion, it’s religion that produces God, not the other way round.

# Rihanna

More than anything, I like a jacket. You can do anything with a great jacket, the bigger the better. You can have any silhouette underneath. It gives you an attitude. It makes a gown look cool.

# Adam Savage

302 .It’s sort of a mental attitude about critical thinking and curiosity. It’s about mindset of looking at the world in a playful and curious and creative way.

# Charles Lindbergh

I am shocked at the attitude of our American troops. They have no respect for death, the courage of an enemy soldier, or many of the ordinary decencies of life.

# Herm Edwards

I’ve always said that your attitude is your best friend and your worst enemy.

# Karl Lagerfeld

When I was a child I asked my mother what homosexuality was about and she said – and this was 100 years ago in Germany and she was very open-minded – ‘It’s like hair color. It’s nothing. Some people are blond and some people have dark hair. It’s not a subject.’ This was a very healthy attitude.

# Harry Dean Stanton

I’ve got a pretty iconoclastic attitude about all institutions myself. And I just think the church was corrupted right after Christ was killed.

# Evel Knievel

I like to help kids, work with kids in detention homes. Don’t tell a kid what’s right and wrong. He knows what’s right and wrong. Find out what his attitude and his aptitude are; try to help him where he wants to go.

# Octavia E. Butler

Every story I write adds to me a little, changes me a little, forces me to reexamine an attitude or belief, causes me to research and learn, helps me to understand people and grow.

# Vivienne Westwood

Britishness is just a way of putting things together and a certain don’t care attitude about clothes. You don’t care, you just do it and it looks great.

# Jim Brown

Ben Schwartzwalder was a decent guy, but he was from another era. He was like a Marine, with a real army attitude. He thought there was only one way to play football, and that was the rough way.

# J. J. Cale

I guess if I’d have more of a producer attitude, maybe I’d sell more records. But I’m basically a songwriter.

# Henry Kissinger

The attitude of the West and of Russia towards a crisis like Ukraine is diametrically different. The West is trying to establish the legality of any established border. For Russia, Ukraine is part of the Russian patrimony.

# Trent Reznor

The idea of politics is just so uninteresting to me – I’ve never paid much attention to it. I don’t believe things can really change. It doesn’t matter who’s president. Nothing really gets resolved. I don’t know. I guess that’s not the right attitude to take.

# Marilyn Monroe

Sometimes, wearing a scarf and a polo coat and no makeup and with a certain attitude of walking, I go shopping or just look at people living. But then, you know, there will be a few teenagers who are kind of sharp, and they’ll say, ‘Hey, just a minute. You know who I think that is?’ And they’ll start tailing me. And I don’t mind.

# Sara Blakely

I failed the LSAT. Basically, if I had not failed, I’d have been a lawyer and there would be no Spanx. I think failure is nothing more than life’s way of nudging you that you are off course. My attitude to failure is not attached to outcome, but in not trying. It is liberating.

# Marcel Duchamp

I became a librarian at the Sainte-Genevieve Library in Paris. I made this gesture to rid myself of a certain milieu, a certain attitude, to have a clean conscience, but also to make a living. I was twenty-five. I had been told that one must make a living, and I believed it.

# Marcel Duchamp

Dada was an extreme protest against the physical side of painting. It was a metaphysical attitude.

# Rupert Murdoch

No one’s going to be able to operate without a grounding in the basic sciences. Language would be helpful, although English is becoming increasingly international. And travel. You have to have a global attitude.

# Dick Cheney

The Senator from Massachusetts has given us ample grounds to doubt the judgment and the attitude he brings to bear on vital issues of national security.

# George Herbert Mead

To so enter into it in nature and art that the enjoyed meanings of life may become a part of living is the attitude of aesthetic appreciation.

# Milan Kundera

Mankind’s true moral test, its fundamental test (which lies deeply buried from view), consists of its attitude towards those who are at its mercy: animals. And in this respect mankind has suffered a fundamental debacle, a debacle so fundamental that all others stem from it.

# Milan Kundera

The novelist teaches the reader to comprehend the world as a question. There is wisdom and tolerance in that attitude. In a world built on sacrosanct certainties the novel is dead.

# Alan Mulally

You need to have a can-do attitude. There is always a way.

# Anne Hathaway

We assume that we’ve come so far as compassionate citizens of the world if we do choose to read the news, yet the attitude towards life can be one where we put blinders on and forget that there are civil wars going on. It’s easy to forget that there are so many people starving to death every single day.

# Giorgio Armani

When I started Giorgio Armani in the mid-’70s, I realized that women needed a way to dress that was equivalent to that of men – something that would give them dignity, an attitude that would help them handle their work life.

# The Weeknd

For me, bomber jackets are smart, but they are also street and have a lot of attitude.

# Jeffrey Gitomer

My readers and my audiences have turned into my followers. They are more than interested in what I have to say in the subjects of sales, loyalty, attitude, networking, business social media, and becoming a trusted advisor.

# Elmore Leonard

When you are developing your style, you avoid weaknesses. I am not good at describing things, so I stay away from it. And if anyone is going to describe anything at all, it’s going to be from the point of view of the character, because then I can use his voice, and his attitude will be revealed in the way he describes what he sees.

# Josh McDowell

Prayer is talking with God. God knows your heart and is not so concerned with your words as He is with the attitude of your heart.

# Sara Blakely

I think failure is nothing more than life’s way of nudging you that you are off course. My attitude to failure is not attached to outcome, but in not trying. It is liberating. Most people attach failure to something not working out or how people perceive you. This way, it is about answering to yourself.

# Charles Dance

It’s a question of keeping one’s eyes and ears open and watching how other people play the game. They’re watching me too, to see what my attitude is like.

# Bikram Choudhury

Negative attitude is nine times more powerful than positive attitude.

# Matt Lauer

I don’t think it’s a healthy thing in your personal life to go around with that never-sure attitude.

# Marianne Faithfull

France has been very good for me. It has given me a very worldly-cool attitude.

# Marianne Faithfull

There are so many myths out there about Marianne Faithfull, I had to, um, detach. But I can turn it on because Marianne Faithfull is really an attitude, you know.

# Caroline Buchanan

Any race I go into, I’ve always got the attitude of throwing myself into and wanting nothing but No. 1.

# Kim Cattrall

Have you seen some of the women – and the men – in Los Angeles? They pay surgeons to make them look completely different in the hope of finding their youth. But youth comes from within. If you have a young attitude, then that can show in your face, the way you walk and move.

# Ray Romano

Right after ‘Raymond’ I had a world-is-my-oyster attitude, but I found out I don’t like oysters. I had this existential emptiness. ‘What is my purpose? Who am I?’ I had a big identity crisis.

# Hope Solo

I have an attitude. It’s what I do. I’m edgy. I have an attitude.

# Labrinth

I want to be a little bit brave. I want to feel scared sometimes. That’s what’s going to change the music business, if we have that kind of attitude.

# Kyle Lowry

Growing up, there were not many people I trusted. There are stories for days about how my attitude was. A lot of it’s true. A lot of it’s not true.

# Moby

Many of my friends back in New York and elsewhere have a glib or dismissive attitude toward Los Angeles. It’s a place of strip malls and traffic and not much else, in their opinion.

# Marilyn Ferguson

Achievers have an enabling attitude, realism, and a conviction that they themselves were the laboratory of innovation. Their ability to change themselves is central to their success. They have learned to conserve their energy by minimizing the time spent in regret or complaint. Every event is a lesson to them, every person a teacher.

# Ariel Sharon

I cannot say that the attitude of the United Nations always is for the Israeli attitude. Israel, I think, has been under severe attacks by members of the United Nations many times.

# John Rampton

I’ve had to listen to candidates tell me they are the most wonderful thing since the invention of sliced bread, and it bores me to death. It also makes me doubt that they are actually any good at all – plus it’s an attitude that would never fly in the culture I’ve created in my company.

# Billy Idol

Part of the punk attitude was that you should project your music through your whole body… show your personality as much as possible.

# Billy Idol

I don’t think punk ever really dies, because punk rock attitude can never die.

# Diane Lane

I think fun is an important part of the entertainment industry, and it should be. Anybody who’s not incorporating some of that into their work needs to take a break, go away, and have an attitude adjustment. —

# Ali Krieger

You can control two things: your work ethic and your attitude about anything.

# Ali Krieger

I can only control myself, my actions, my work ethic, and my attitude.

# Derek Bok

I won’t say there aren’t any Harvard graduates who have never asserted a superior attitude. But they have done so to our great embarrassment and in no way represent the Harvard I know.

# Billy Corgan

Most of my arguments with musicians through the years have had more to do with their attitude about music, or their attitude about their own lives, or their personal responsibility. Music has never really been the big centerpiece of the fight.

# Shane Warne

With just about every player in Australia, his whole goal and ambition is to play for Australia. That’s why they’re playing first class cricket. It’s just a different attitude.

# Brie Larson

I’ve always felt like I’ve had the ability to choose which roles I was going to play. I don’t think that the industry agreed with me, but I’ve always had a bit of a headstrong attitude of only doing the things that I really believe in and want to explore.

# Ted Cruz

The single biggest surprise about arriving to the Senate is the defeatist attitude here.

# June Jordan

That attitude that fighting is probably not fair, but you have to defend yourself anyway and damage the enemy, has been profoundly consequential as far as my political activism goes.

# Todd Rundgren

Music is the way I understand how to communicate now, the way that I’ve learned how to communicate… but it will eventually have to go beyond that. You see, I’ve realised that music is not what keeps people involved – it’s the attitude behind the music.

# Christian Bale

I have this theory that, depending on your attitude, your life doesn’t have to become this ridiculous charade that it seems so many people end up living.

# Christian Bale

I met my grandfather just before he died, and it was the first time that I had seen Dad with a relative of his. It was interesting to see my own father as a son and the body language and alteration in attitude that comes with that, and it sort of changed our relationship for the better.

# Simon Cowell

Money brings you security and choice. You can make decisions in a different way if you have a lot of money. But when you have nothing, you have a naivety, and a more fearless attitude because you have nothing to lose.

# Son Heung-min

In every country I’ve gone to, if you smile at people, they are going to be happy. This is my attitude.

# Johan Huizinga

An aristocratic culture does not advertise its emotions. In its forms of expression it is sober and reserved. Its general attitude is stoic.

# Neil Diamond

I came back to performing with a different attitude about performing and myself. I wasn’t expecting perfection any more, just hoping for an occasional inspiration.

# John Stockton

I think everybody should have the attitude that you can’t allow yourself to be hurt. You avoid a lot just with that attitude.

# Martin O’Malley

The attitude in Baltimore in 1999 was almost one of resignation, that our problems were bigger than our capacity to handle them.

# Mel B

Look, everything that you experience as a kid is the foundation of how you are today. I was brought up in a working class family in Leeds and when it comes to money both my parents worked hard and instilled the same attitude into me.

# Mitch Kapor

Before I started a company, I was an employee with a bad attitude. I was always felt like, bosses are stupid, and people weren’t well treated.

# Robert J. Shiller

I think that a lot of people in all walks of life have the impression, of course, that, ‘I specialize in something. I can’t – I don’t have the time to read other things. I’ll just go to pure entertainment when I’m relaxing, and then I’ll come back to my pure specialty.’ That produces – that attitude produces idiot savants, unfortunately.

# Stacey Dooley

There are always people who are desperate to put you in your one camp and never let you leave. The idea that you could be interested in the Yazidi community and also in lipstick blows people’s minds. It’s a really short-sighted, Stone Age attitude; it’s boring, actually.

# Donald Knuth

Let us change our traditional attitude to the construction of programs. Instead of imagining that our main task is to instruct a computer what to do, let us concentrate rather on explaining to human beings what we want a computer to do.

# Yngwie Malmsteen

I want to say something very clearly. I understand that I’m a self-confident person who might come off with the wrong attitude sometimes, but I don’t mean to. I just believe in certain things, and I know exactly what I want. I’ve always sacrificed things in order to become the best musician I could be.

# Marjory Stoneman Douglas

All we need, really, is a change from a near frigid to a tropical attitude of mind.

# Marlee Matlin

It was my father who instilled the ‘never say no’ attitude I carry around with me today, and who instilled in me a sense of wonder, always taking us on adventures in the car, never telling us the destination.

# Mick Taylor

The Stones are a different kind of group. I realized that when I joined them. It’s not really so much their musical ability, it’s just they have a certain kind of style and attitude which is unique.

# Stephen Hendry

It’s easy to have a good attitude when you’re flying, but you need it when you’re up against it as well.

# Stuart Chase

Attitude is your acceptance of the natural laws, or your rejection of the natural laws.

# Nancy Pearcey

In Gnosticism, the physical world did not ultimately matter – which meant physical suffering did not matter either. Seeking ‘enlightenment’ meant cultivating an attitude of detachment, even indifference.

# John Ortberg

Being deeply contented with God in my everyday life is a focused attitude. It is always available. It means practicing letting go of my obsession with how I’m doing. It means training myself to learn to actually be present with people, and seeking to love them.

# John Ortberg

The most important criterion is this: hire someone whose character and humility and attitude you would like to have reproduced in your church and in yourself.

# Dan Marino

As a team, you need to come from behind every once in awhile just to do it. Good for the attitude. It makes it exciting. And when everybody knows you have to throw it… that makes it fun too.

# Martin Rees

Given the scale of issues like global warming and epidemic disease, we shouldn’t underestimate the importance of a can-do attitude to science rather than a can’t-afford-it attitude.

# Donovan

Coming from art school, I had a great sense of style – as did The Beatles and the Stones – and I enjoyed projecting that. Image, attitude, great music and great lyrics – that was the ’60s.

# Donald Judd

The attitude and capacity of the factory, the old metal table and the new ideas of the wooden furniture quickly and naturally suggested the possibility of metal furniture.

# Alex Guarnaschelli

I like Bobby Flay’s attitude and his approach towards food. I think he’s just passionate and very honest. I find him very honest about food and cooking and ingredients and I admire that because I think that it’s easy to get away from that for various reasons.

# Jimmy Chin

The way we approached Meru, and the way we approach a lot of these mountains, is with humility. A sense of, ‘Is it going to give us passage?’ Your mental attitude can affect the outcome.

# Caitlin Moran

The word ‘spinster’ tells you everything you need to know about our attitude of women who choose not t

# Jim Cornette

We got shorted when it comes to recognition for the ’80s war. Everybody talks about the ‘Monday Night Wars’ and the ‘Attitude Era,’ but it was neck and neck in the ’80s.

# Virat Kohli

A fit body gives you confidence. And there’s nothing more impressive than a great attitude, which you can wear on your sleeve. But you’ll have to remember the difference between being rude and being confident.

# Allen Klein

You may not be able to change a situation, but with humor you can change your attitude about it.

# Allen Klein

Your attitude is like a box of crayons that color your world. Constantly color your picture gray, and your picture will always be bleak. Try adding some bright colors to the picture by including humor, and your picture begins to lighten up.

# Joel Salatin

We’ve created a tenfold core value protocol to make sure that we don’t fall into an ’empire’ attitude.

# Tom Brokaw

When you walk into a doctor’s office, you’ve got to have the same attitude you would about anything else. You’ve got to ask tough questions, and you’ve got to not be afraid to challenge their credentials.

# Grace Jones

I see myself as no color. I can play the role of a man. I can paint my face white if I want to and play the role of white. I can play a green, I can be a purple. I think I have that kind of frame and that kind of attitude where I can play an animal.

# Grace Jones

I was born into a very religious family where everything was about setting the right example for the community and having to obey orders blindly. I felt that everyone was growing up in the world, except me. This is probably one of the reasons why I had such a rebellious attitude towards any form of authority.

# Caroline Flack

I love MAC Smouldering Eyes. The really creamy formula means it’s easily smudged, creating an attitude for the evening.

# Francois Hollande

I perfectly understood President Obama’s attitude throughout the French presidential campaign. He had no reason to distance himself from Nicolas Sarkozy. It’s the basic solidarity that leaders who worked together owe to each other.

# Adriana Lima

You don’t have to have an attitude if you’re famous.

# Adriana Lima

Be sure what you want and be sure about yourself. Fashion is not just beauty, it’s about good attitude. You have to believe in yourself and be strong.

# Hayley Williams

I enjoy punk, the attitude as well as the music, but I don’t feel like I have to be a carbon copy of it and invite all this controversy just to be punk rock.

# Joe Greene

Donald Evans is a favorite person of mine. His worth ethic, his attitude and his dedication really set him apart.

# Amy Morin

Spending time with negative people can be the fastest way to ruin a good mood. Their pessimistic outlooks and gloomy attitude can decrease our motivation and change the way we feel. But allowing a negative person to dictate your emotions gives them too much power in your life. Make a conscious effort to choose your attitude.

# Amy Morin

Acting tough is all about developing an attitude and a persona that says, ‘Look at how great I am.’ But often, that tough exterior is meant to hide self-doubt. Mentally strong people invest more energy into working on their weaknesses rather than trying to cover them up.

# Jeff Ross

I’m a big fan of Courtney Love. I love Hole and I love her acting and I love her attitude. I just hope I never meet her in a dark alley.

# Jeff Ross

I’m a big fan of Courtney Love. I love Hole and I love her acting and I love her attitude. I just hope I never meet her in a dark alley.

# Mac DeMarco

I love Jonathan Richman – I love a lot of his music, and the thing I really like about him is his attitude. He seems very happy, and the way he performs is like, ‘Don’t worry, everybody, just get into it. I’m just having fun; I like when you guys are having fun.’

# Salman Khan

People are patronizing the theatres with renewed enthusiasm – there is an entire picnic-like attitude when families go out to see movies, which is a very good sign. They want to see larger-than-life characters on the big screen and not just watch movies on television or on DVDs.

# Stephen Hillenburg

I do think that the attitude of the show is about tolerance. Everybody is different, and the show embraces that. The character SpongeBob is an oddball. He’s kind of weird, but he’s kind of special.

# Joanna Gaines

Chip is the risk-taker. He’s all about the big picture but with a get-it-done attitude, and sometimes I’d rather play it safe and really focus my energy on the details.

# Selena

If you try to come off as this big-time star with an attitude, people don’t like that.

# Richard Hayne

Psychographics speaks more to an attitude, a lifestyle.

# Jason Mraz

I think it’s important and I think it’s true that our life experience is going to be about our attitude, our thoughts, our beliefs, our speech and our actions. We can transform our life experience simply by changing our language.

# Francis Parker Yockey

Pessimism only describes an attitude, and not facts, and hence is entirely subjective.

# M.I.A.

At first, I found the music I was making really hard to find a home for. I felt like my attitude was really British, but not the actual sounds I was making. Back in 2003, when I made ‘Galang,’ there were no clubs that had an ‘anything and everything’ attitude.

# Mitchell Trubisky

Control what you can control. I can control my emotions, my attitude, my effort every day.

# Lil Jon

Vegas people come with the attitude that they’re gonna go hard and party. I’ve partied in Ibiza and all over the world, and I think Vegas is the best party.

# Lil Jon

A crunk attitude you’re just rowdy, rahhhhh! You’re just crunk. But you add the crunk rock to it, and it gives you some edge.

# Claire Saffitz

I’ve always just operated with the attitude that if I work just as hard as I can, everything will be fine.

# Carine Roitfeld

I am very surprised by someone like Alexander Wang. I am amazed how he is good with fashion, with business, with public relations himself, with an attitude in his clothes that is spoken immediately.

# Carine Roitfeld

You lose attitude when you feel too comfortable, so I prefer to wear clothes that have a certain edge to them.

# Rick Pitino

Tackle the difficult things first in the morning; make changes in the way you network. Treat everyone with respect and dignity. This stops you from cynicism and negativity. End your day with that same attitude you started. Renew your contract with a day well completed.

# Matt Hancock

Entrepreneurship is not only about starting businesses but is an attitude to life.

# Anushka Sharma

I do have moments when I feel insecure. I do have moments when I feel jealous, and that’s normal. It’s a very normal emotion. It’s your action and your attitude and your reaction to that that is important.

# Sourav Ganguly

Kohli is a huge addition to the side not just because of his batting but with his attitude as well. He lifts everyone on the field. There is so much passion in his cricket.

# Kirstie Alley

I developed a nutty attitude where I’d think, If some guy really loves me he doesn’t care if I’m fat. I’d come up with all these stupid reasons why it would be OK to be fat.

# Jessica Savitch

Never refuse an assignment except when there is a conflict of interest, a potential of danger to you or your family, or you hold a strongly biased attitude about the subject under focus.

# Donna Brazile

A white-boy attitude is ‘I must exclude, denigrate, and leave behind.’ They don’t see it or think about it. It’s a culture.

# Ritchie Blackmore

I was impressed by Hendrix. His attitude was brilliant. Even the way he walked was amazing.

# Ritchie Blackmore

I was impressed by Hendrix. Not so much by his playing, as his attitude – he wasn’t a great player, but everything else about him was brilliant.

# Joel Edgerton

It’s tricky. I’ve never been standing at the top of the tree with tons of money thrown at me. I’ve never really had a profile. So in a way I have this ‘nothing to lose’ attitude.

# Jerry Della Femina

As long as the attitude is to only show the sheet metal, then automobile advertising will continue to be wretched.

# Brandon Ingram

It could be the best defender or the worst defender. I have to have the attitude that I don’t think anyone is going to deter me from getting to the basket. Maybe help defense can come over and affect it, but not the first guy.

# Michael Biehn

I saw ‘Taxi Driver,’ and ‘Taxi Driver’ kind of saved my life. The scene where Robert De Niro is looking at himself in the mirror saying, ‘You talkin’ to me? You talkin’ to me? Who the hell else are you talkin’ to?’ That’s the scene that changed my life by changing my attitude about acting.

# Al Jourgensen

I was stupid when I started: the epitome of bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. It was like, ‘I get to live in L.A. and drive around in limos? Really?’ I didn’t realize I was owned. The more money gets pumped into you, the more you become a marionette. It made me a true redneck in attitude: I never wanted to wake up ever again feeling owned.

# CeeLo Green

Rock n’ roll is not just a fashion statement; it is the attitude, and it has a political posturing as well.

# Edward Enninful

It was a whole new attitude: no makeup, less is more… the ’90s were fun!

# Edward Enninful

Kurt Cobain really made an impression on us. He just had that rebel attitude. You could tell he was super talented but didn’t really care.

# DJ Premier

Black men, we’re known for getting into some drama with other black men, specifically black-on-black crime. We’re used to the confrontational attitude.

# Roxane Gay

I think the world is ambivalent about feminism. So I can’t blame college students. I think they’re reflecting the greater culture’s attitude toward feminism. So what I can do is, in ways that are appropriate, advocate for feminism and help the students learn what feminism is about.

# Enzo Amore

That used to be what I grew up on – which is the Attitude Era, because you never knew what was going to happen next.

# Enzo Amore

Flair, Dusty Rhodes, Shawn Michaels, The NWO, The Invasion, the wild stories, and the Attitude Era. All the crazy stories – you love them, and you get addicted to them and the lifestyle. But you have to separate them and toe the line and separate yourself from what is real and what is not.

# Enzo Amore

Flair, Dusty Rhodes, Shawn Michaels, The NWO, The Invasion, the wild stories, and the Attitude Era. All the crazy stories – you love them, and you get addicted to them and the lifestyle. But you have to separate them and toe the line and separate yourself from what is real and what is not.

# Paul Heyman

Vince McMahon became a billionaire based on Attitude, and Attitude was spawned by the ECW experience.

# Lily James

I really have been lucky because I’ve always had a very healthy attitude to my body.

# Martin Luther King III

I was told that Daddy was murdered by a white man. I could have adopted an attitude of hating whites. But then in 1974 my grandmother was killed by a black man, so I could have hated blacks too.

# Jurnee Smollett-Bell

There’s something about driving through Texas, and it’s hot, your skin is sticking to you. The environment affects your attitude and your swagger.

# Cheech Marin

To me, you have to declare yourself a Chicano in order to be a Chicano. That makes a Chicano a Mexican-American with a defiant political attitude that centers on his or her right to self-definition. I’m a Chicano because I say I am.

# Radamel Falcao

Alfredo Morelos is going to be a star for us. When you look at attitude he has and commitment he shows, he’s ready to get to the top. He could be a big player for Colombia for years to come.

# Bradley Wiggins

My attitude is that, if you have nothing to hide, why not show it?

# William Lyon Mackenzie King

Regardless of what one’s attitude towards prohibition may be, temperance is something against which, at a time of war, no reasonable protest can be made.

# Madeleine M. Kunin

To make flexibility work, it is not only necessary to change our attitude about who is a good worker and who is not, but we have to train managers at all levels to recognize the difference between the number of hours worked and the quality of work produced.

# Juliana Hatfield

From the beginning, I’ve always had a knack for catchy melodies. But I went through a period when I was trying to be rock n’ roll and have a rock n’ roll attitude. I was fighting my nature by trying to play really hard and sing really hard. But at a certain point, I realized that I loved syrupy pop music with tons of harmony.

# Justin Gaethje

My pressure is second to none and my timing and attitude are second to none, and that’s what I want to be recognized for; not for being undefeated, because what does that mean? That just means you won. And I want to known for my style and the way that I fight, the timing that I bring and the fact that I rely on my reactions, stuff like that.

# Allan Carr

If you go on stage with the wrong attitude, or something in your performance is off, you can lose an audience in the first minute. That first minute is crucial.

# Nia Long

I think Nina Simone has had an amazing journey. She was spicy and she had attitude and she didn’t care, she wanted her money in a paper bag and don’t mess with me and I’ve been doing some research on that so.

# Twiggy

I don’t like it when people say, ‘You’re 45, so you should be wearing X and never Y.’ For me, dressing is about attitude, not age.

# Twiggy

I don’t like it when people say, ‘You’re 45, so you should be wearing X and never Y.’ For me, dressing is about attitude, not age.

# Muggsy Bogues

You’ve got to have the skills. You’ve got to have a great attitude because, if you don’t, nobody will want to deal with you.

# Cory Booker

In America, our differences matter, but our country matters more. That’s the attitude I wanted to take to the Senate.

# Jill Ellis

My dad’s always had an unbelievable, positive attitude about everything.

# Alaska

I think that my attitude about myself is something that I’ve been trying to work on – trying to be more positive and just believing in myself more.

# Charles Oakley

I just tried to go out there and play with attitude, doing what I was supposed to do and knowing my role on the team. Doing what my team expected me to do every night, not just once a week. It was all about work and I was just a tough guy who would knock somebody down.

# Charles Oakley

My thing was I had attitude every night. No matter who I played, who I went against, what team, you’ve got to have an attitude.

# Michael Hutchence

I look at Jagger and the like and if I see a good attitude I’ll admire it but I wouldn’t copy their style.

# Will Hurd

Life is hard. Life is difficult. Life is going to punch you in the gut. But when you change your attitude, you change your behavior. When your behavior changes, so do your results.

# Parker Posey

My grandmother is this amazingly theatrical woman. She acted like a movie star, as far as looks and attitude, kind of like Susan Hayward.

# Taika Waititi

You have to let go of the control and allow things to develop. You need to have a flexible attitude, especially working with kids.

# Sergio Ramos

We need the right attitude and the right motivation – that can decide the match above everything else.

# Wilfried Zaha

Just because I don’t smile a lot, people think, ‘Ah, yeah. He must have a bad attitude.’ But if you don’t know me, you don’t know me. That was the problem. My face is just serious!

# Joe Budden

I’m the first person to shamelessly admit that I don’t know it all. With that said, my attitude is if such that if I don’t know something I want you to enlighten and inform me so we can grown and get somewhere together – even if that means we ultimately agree to disagree.

# Srikumar Rao

We have the ability to craft a life where we are completely fulfilled. We think it is dependent on outsiders, and to some extent it is, but it is much more dependent on the attitude we bring to life.

# Srikumar Rao

If you have an ongoing relationship with a person, think of everything positive about that person that you possibly can and enter your interaction from that space. Ignore all the crap that used to drive you up the wall before. You will be amazed at what a change this attitude shift brings about.

# Mick Foley

I can look back now and say, ‘Aw, that was a little dumb taking huge bumps onto concrete before a couple of hundred fans,’ but if it wasn’t for that attitude and that type of work ethic, I never would have gotten to WWE.

# Donna Karan

Age and size are only numbers. It’s the attitude you bring to clothes that make the difference.

# Mario Vargas Llosa

Literature is dangerous: it awakens a rebellious attitude in us.

# Maurice Greene

You’d like more people to recognise what you do is special. But I take the attitude that the best thing I can do for my sport is to be the best at it. The best way people will come to recognise that track and field is a great sport is to see athletes excelling at it. Which is what I intend to do.

# Walter Benjamin

It is precisely the purpose of the public opinion generated by the press to make the public incapable of judging, to insinuate into it the attitude of someone irresponsible, uninformed.

# David Joseph Schwartz

The ‘Okay-I’ll-give-it-a-try-but-I-don’t-think-it-will-work’ attitude produces failures.

# Kangana Ranaut

They will always assume that this guy – an upcoming actor, what if he becomes a star tomorrow? He would not work with me then… so I might as well choose to be nice. But women are not treated with the same attitude. Women they treat really badly.

# Imelda Staunton

Chaotic people often have chaotic lives, and I think they create that. But if you try and have an inner peace and a positive attitude, I think you attract that.

# Imelda Staunton

Having a child makes you strong and gives you chutzpah. It relaxed my attitude to the job; my center of focus shifted, which I think is very helpful, because even if you’re not a very indulgent actor you spend a lot of time thinking about yourself. I don’t think that is particularly healthy.

# John McCarthy

If a person can be said to have the wrong attitude, there is no need to pay attention to his arguments.

# Tig Notaro

People ask what my influences are, and for me, it’s not always obvious. One of my biggest inspirations was Chrissie Hynde from the Pretenders. That’s based on how she just does whatever she wants to do, and I love her attitude about everything. It bleeds over into my way of thinking and comedy.

# Youssou N’Dour

In the West, you have always associated the Islamic faith 100 percent with Arab culture. This in itself is a fundamentalist attitude and it is mistaken.

# Craig Sager

If you’re running around with a negative attitude all the time, you’re going to feel down; you’re going to have negative results.

# Craig Sager

People come up to me and say somebody in their family has cancer, and we appreciate what you do, and we appreciate your fight, and don’t give up, we love your attitude.

# Tobey Maguire

I just try to try to keep an attitude that I don’t know what I’m doing. Not to the point where I’m beating myself up, but I just go in thinking that I have a lot to learn. And I hope I still have that attitude 30 years from now.

# Rey Mysterio

I’ve never had any prima donna attitude against me. It’s always been very respectful.

# Ari Aster

An American orchestra doesn’t want to play more than it has to. I respectfully disagree with that attitude.
In some ways, the audience becomes complacent when they go to a horror film. And so it’s fun to take that attitude and then to upend it.

# Charles Jencks

Like our attitude to love, truth and goodness, we seem to be confident about knowing what beauty is – certain, even dogmatic – until we think hard about the idea, whereupon all confidence flies away.

# Billy Dee Williams

I go, and I do my work, and I try to do the best I can, and I collect my money, and I go home, and then I go on to the next thing. That’s my attitude.

# Rick Santelli

When you are facing the wilderness on your own, you have a totally different attitude to someone who works in government or who has a monthly cheque.

# Jose Saramago

The attitude of insolent haughtiness is characteristic of the relationships Americans form with what is alien to them, with others.

# Iker Casillas

I understand that some people might think differently, but my duty is to take confidence from playing well. And I’m convinced that with my attitude and ability, everything will go back to being the way it was before. That’s what we all want. The Madrid fans and me.

# Walter Gropius

Theo van Doesburg wanted to teach in the Bauhaus in 1922. I refused, however, to appoint him since I considered him to be too aggressive and too rigidly theoretical: he would have wrought havoc in the Bauhaus through his fanatic attitude, which ran counter to my own broader approach.

# Jazz Jennings

I want to help transgender individuals who might be struggling realize that they have to love themselves and stay true to who they are because if they keep moving forward, and keep a positive attitude, then things will get better.

# Imelda Marcos

I love everybody. One of the great things about me is that I have a very positive attitude.

# Sergio Busquets

It isn’t important what formation is on the field, but rather our attitude.

# Carlos Mencia

Chicago is pretty much my favorite city to perform in. For some reason, people from the Chicago area have an amazing attitude.

# Paul Ryan

What matters to me is that I do what I think is right and I see, I’m a numbers guy, that’s my attitude. I know we have a debt tsunami coming, we are bankrupting this country and I’m in a position where I can actually advance ideas to prevent that from happening. That’s exactly what I should be doing.

# James Woods

My attitude about Hollywood is that I wouldn’t walk across the street to pull one of those executives out of the snow if he was bleeding to death. Not unless I was paid for it. None of them ever did me any favors.

# Roy Hodgson

There is a belief that getting any particular job may depend on who has just had five consecutive victories. If that’s the way it is, I’ve got a healthy attitude.

# Tony Wilson

We had a heroic attitude to artistic freedom, and we thought normal contracts were a bit vulgar – somehow not punk. But that was the whole point – we weren’t a regular record label.

# Mark Henry

The Attitude Era was something special.

# Jordin Sparks

That term’s definitely got a negative aura to it, because people think a diva is somebody with an attitude who demands things all the time. Of course there is that type of diva, but my idea of a diva has always been a singer – whether male or female – who gets on that stage and captivates you with their presence and their voice.

# King Princess

King Princess is like an attitude. I take comfort in it as kind of a shield to exist in, where I can make cohesive art. And it’s androgynous, which is intentional. It’s important to me that my art exist in a kind of neutral space, genderless to some degree. And give the listener some imagery to hold on to.

# Ron Stallworth

When you hear Donald Trump say ‘America First,’ that was a Klan slogan from the early 1900s. Trump simply resurrected it. It’s a clear example of his racist attitude.

# Christopher Isherwood

What irritates me is the bland way people go around saying, ‘Oh, our attitude has changed. We don’t dislike these people any more.’ But by the strangest coincidence, they haven’t taken away the injustice; the laws are still on the books.

# Paul Pierce

My brother was a huge Charles Barkley fan – my brother went to Miami. He played power forward, and he always used to tell me stories about Barkley and college. And I watched Barkley growing up. I loved what he brought to the game. His toughness and just his attitude, being as strong he was.

# Paul Pierce

I am a confident player, and a lot of people might look at it like, ‘Oh, another cocky attitude,’ but I don’t look at it that way.

# Shiv Nadar

In philanthropy, you have to take the attitude of a mother… You have to be patient, and we have been very patient for a long time.

# Henry Louis Gates

We can revolutionize the attitude of inner city brown and black kids to learning. We need a civil rights movement within the African-American community.

# Buffy Sainte-Marie

I’ve always had that attitude about my career: it’s something that I do, but it’s not my whole life. I have a real life, a personal life: I’ve got a lot of chickens, I’ve got a horse, I’ve got a kitty-cat, I’ve got a lot of goats, I’ve got animals all over the place.

# Buffy Sainte-Marie

I’ve always had that attitude about my career: it’s something that I do, but it’s not my whole life. I have a real life, a personal life: I’ve got a lot of chickens, I’ve got a horse, I’ve got a kitty-cat, I’ve got a lot of goats, I’ve got animals all over the place.

# Mya

Positive energy and attitude is sexy to me.

# Mya

Being sexy, to me, is possessing the full package: the brains, the drive, inner confidence, spiritual foundation, a positive attitude, proceeding through obstacles, making a positive contribution to the world, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

# Mya

I’ve always been the girl with a go-getter attitude.

# Shehbaz Sharif

The political parties who prefer lockdowns should end their politics that is based on negative attitude.

# V. S. Naipaul

What was past was past. I suppose that was the general attitude.

# Bella Thorne

I think the best advice came from Drew Barrymore, about always finding love in everything you do and keeping a positive attitude and being thankful.

# Bella Thorne

I think the best advice came from Drew Barrymore, about always finding love in everything you do and keeping a positive attitude and being thankful.

# Sam Hunt

I drove right into the music with the same sort of attitude as I went into the football stuff with. Just found a routine and hard work, and it helped me progress a lot faster.

# Tulsi Gabbard

When a person thinks, I am a Christian, this other person is a Muslim, therefore he is my enemy, or I am a Muslim, this other person is a Hindu, therefore she is my enemy, they reveal their own lack of spiritual depth. No religion teaches this, and any understanding of any religion that adopts this divisive attitude proves itself false by doing so.

# Katrina Kaif

I have a very positive attitude in life. My insecurity, fear and need to know about tomorrow has fortunately eased. What is going to happen will happen anyway. So why break my head over it?

# Katrina Kaif

When you’re walking at the airport, you’re expected to smile at people because they know you… I find that tough. I’m only trying to protect myself. So I don’t take my eyes off the floor. People can take that as attitude. But it’s actually shyness. Yes, it is a bad habit. But it’s a defense mechanism.

# Goldust

If anything, I was the definite edge of the spear into The Attitude Era, I believe, so it was way before its time, the stuff I was doing, and it kind of set the tone for what was to come.

# Heywood Broun

Increasingly, it becomes evident that managing a ball club is a psychiatrist’s job. In a short series, the mental attitude of the combatants is everything.

# Natalya Neidhart

When I think of tag teams that have made me want to the very best, of course, I think of my family, but I also think about teams like Edge and Christian, The Hardy Boyz, and The Dudley Boyz, who all helped define tag teams during the Attitude Era.

# Natalya Neidhart

I debuted in WWE right around the time when the ‘Attitude Era’ ended and WWE programming switched to Parental Guidance. Back then, we had one champion, and if you weren’t the champion or the challenger, securing television time was often challenging.

# Martin McDonagh

Though it may not seem like it, I never try to write about a place, per se; it’s always, first and last, about story. Story is everything. Story and a bit of attitude.

# Susie Wolff

I’m proud of my driver test. So many people were waiting for me to test and fail, so they could say that women would never be able to race in F1. I always view my time in F1 as before and after the test. Beforehand, I could sense everybody asking, ‘What’s she doing in the F1 paddock? Is she good enough?’ After my test, that attitude changed.

# Carlos Tevez

I train with a serious attitude, and when I am having time off, I hope to be respected as well.

# Miriam Margolyes

I don’t have a very positive attitude towards rappers.

# Prodigy

When I was locked up, I went through a big personal change with my attitude and spiritual, everything. I went through some major changes locked up.

I love the body language of the women cricketers and the attitude with which they carry themselves. –Aishwarya Rajesh

# Ian Mcewan

What reader wants to be told what attitude to strike?

# Edwin Catmull

We need business leaders who have a respect for technical issues even if they don’t have technical backgrounds. In a lot of U.S. industries, including cars and even computers, many managers don’t think of technology as a core competency, and this attitude leads them to farm out technical issues.

# Edwin Catmull

In life,you’re going to have risk, so you have to say, ‘My attitude going forward is how to I fix the problem.’ And it’s not trying to cling onto the past. When I look around, most problems happen because people are trying to cling onto the past.

# Jim Ross

It doesn’t matter if you have a six-minute match on ‘Superstars,’ go out and steal the show. Go have a great, solid match. Somebody’s going to say, ‘Who cares about ‘Superstars?’ Nobody watches it. And it’s only six minutes.’ That’s the wrong attitude. That’s a loser’s attitude, and that’s what I’ve told dozens of talents.

# Rose Namajunas

All I can control is myself and just keep having a positive attitude.

# Rose Namajunas

Oh, man – I don’t have just one favorite fighter, but I draw from many different aspects of each fighter. But I will say, just going back in the history of the UFC, just kind of trying to learn from each fighter, I’ve been looking at Brock Lesnar, all the things he did for the UFC back in the day, and his attitude and things like that.

# Rose Namajunas

You just keep a positive attitude no matter what comes in your way – challenges, roadblocks – don’t let it faze you, and you can overcome anything.

# Bill Rancic

One by one, all of my college buddies had taken these nothing-special entry-level jobs, pushing papers for $18,000 or $21,000 a year (and hating the work besides), and I’d turn up my nose and tell them I wasn’t about to get out of bed for anything less than $50,000. That was my line, my attitude.

# Richard Dreyfuss

When you Google me, you’ll find a lot of people don’t like Richard Dreyfuss. Because I’m cocky and I present a cocky attitude. But no one has ever disagreed with the notion I represent, that we need more civic education. So far there’s 100 percent support for that.

# Ram Charan

For about 175,000 people, Chiranjeevi Blood Bank has supplied blood for free in times of emergency. This is because of the service-oriented attitude of Mega fans.

# Steve Vai

Along with its enchanting and exquisite melodies, West Side Story has attitude and a tremendous amount of frenetic energy. It’s emotional, theatrical and technical. It’s everything.

# Sonia Rykiel

I always believe in pants. You can play with your legs, your attitude, with pants. It’s much more funny. It’s much more sophisticated. It’s much more arrogant, like a man with feminine attitude. I love pants.

# Sonia Rykiel

It’s not true that clothes look better on skinny girls; what counts is the attitude.

# Yousuf Karsh

There is a brief moment when all there is in a man’s mind and soul and spirit is reflected through his eyes, his hands, his attitude. This is the moment to record.

# Steven Berkoff

With the feminist movement – a good movement which I support – there’s been more overt criticism of the male, an attitude that men are failing to understand the finer nature of women, failing to appreciate their needs, failing to support them, failing to be compassionate.

# Lindsey Stirling

If your mom asks you to do the dishes, do not pull out your pirate attitude. But if someone tells you you’re not good enough, says your dreams are too lofty, or claims there is no room in showbiz for a dancing violinist – well then, by all means, pull out your eye patch, my friend, and take to the high seas.

# George Lois

When you think of a brand, you should immediately understand it from the advertising attitude, from the words and visuals.

# Julie Burchill

My second husband believed I had such a fickle attitude to friendship that each Friday he would update the list of my ‘Top Ten’ friends in the manner of a Top Of The Pops chart countdown.

# Andie MacDowell

I remember early on, in my very, very early days, I had a makeup artist tell me that I needed to get an attitude. I had no idea what he was talking about.

# Joan Lunden

A positive attitude is something everyone can work on, and everyone can learn how to employ it.

# Rob Sheffield

You can’t beat the beehive for glam punkette attitude.

# Andy Cohen

I fell in love with Erica Kane the summer before my freshman year of high school. Like all red-blooded teen American boys, I’d come home from water polo practice and eat a box of Entenmann’s Pop’Ems donut holes in front of the TV while obsessively fawning over ‘All My Children’ and Erica, her clothes, and her narcissistic attitude.

# Joel Parkinson

You tell your kids that no matter what, you set your goals and you go for them. Whatever it is you achieve, never give up. You want your kids to have that good attitude, the confidence, and the will power to believe in themselves.

# Patricia Neal

A strong positive mental attitude will create more miracles than any wonder drug.

# Jews. Ehud Barak

Israel always has a special filter to look at things, and that is the attitude toward

# Amisha Patel

Being sexy is all about attitude, not body type. It’s a state of mind.

# Sharad Pawar

How can any person with a myopic view and harbouring intense parochial attitude even think of leading the nation?

# Frans de Waal

Experiments with animals have long been handicapped by our anthropocentric attitude: We often test them in ways that work fine with humans but not so well with other species.

# Ry Cooder

I can’t help what people write or think. If somebody thinks I’m a serious archivist, they’re wrong. That’s been a problem. It’s a shame people take that attitude, because it affects how they listen to the music. It’s a big mistake to treat any pop music that way.

# Sebastian Thrun

I believe e-courses will eventually change people’s attitude toward learning. Education will play an increasingly dominant role in people’s lives. For people of all ages and all geographies.

# Eliza Dushku

There is definitely something sexy about a girl with an attitude and a pair of leather pants.

# Tabatha Coffey

We have all met people that act ‘old’ or think a number makes them old, and I truly don’t believe that is the case. If you have a good attitude toward aging, and you do what you can to live healthy and take care of yourself, I don’t think the number matters.

# Terrence Malick

I film quite a bit of footage, then edit. Changes before your eyes, things you can do and things you can’t. My attitude is always ‘let it keep rolling.’

# Stone Cold Steve Austin

A lot of people say, ‘What set the Attitude Era up?’ or, ‘What started the Attitude Era?’ To me – and I was allegedly the leader of it – sports entertainment, pro wrestling, whatever you want to call it has always had an attitude. So, why that particular generation got labeled, I don’t know.

# Stone Cold Steve Austin

I go back to the old school days of that Attitude Era stuff. Everybody knows when I speak of the Attitude Era, my favorite stuff is of the mid-’80s, all that NWA stuff, the World Class stuff, the stuff that Bill Watts was doing.

# Deshaun Watson

I’ve dealt with adversity before, had injuries before. I didn’t let that slow me down. It just changed my attitude about the game.

# Emily Ratajkowski

I started modeling when I was – not older, but not 12. I have a mom who’s a feminist – she’s an English professor, an intellectual. She really gave me the equipment to understand that you can celebrate yourself without putting yourself down or needing to apologize for the way you look. I think that attitude is really crucial for a model.

# Ludwig von Mises

Only one thing can conquer war – that attitude of mind which can see nothing in war but destruction and annihilation.

# Kim Dotcom

I always thought of myself as more American than Americans when I was living in Germany, because I always had this attitude of can-do, and if you’re successful, you can show it, which is a very un-German thing, you know.

# Kriti Sanon

I am just a beginner. The two films so far are baby steps. If I develop an attitude, I’ll be finished even before I’ve started. Besides, if I started misbehaving, my folks would give me a tight slap.

# D’Angelo Russell

It’s hard to keep a positive attitude coming to work every day, feeling like you’re getting better when the same result is losing.

# Maria Konnikova

The perfectibility of the human mind is a theme that has captured our imagination for centuries – the notion that, with the right tools, the right approach, the right attitude, we might become better, smarter versions of ourselves.

# Jim Dine

My attitude towards drawing is not necessarily about drawing. It’s about making the best kind of image I can make, it’s about talking as clearly as I can.

# Jochen Zeitz

We should bring in an environmental attitude, and I think luxury should automatically be about sustainability and quality.

# Blac Chyna

I am just as comfortable in sweats and sneakers as I am in a dress and heels. Attitude is everything!

# Quentin Bryce

Livelihoods and whole communities throughout the Murray-Darling Basin have been imperilled by the workings of drought, fire, flood, acid mud and human action over many decades. In the rescues and the cleanups and the long hauls, I see the same attitude over and again. People just rally and get on with it.

# Marie Osmond

You can do everything you can to try to stop bad things from happening to you, but eventually things will happen, so the best prevention is a positive attitude.

# Juliette Lewis

Fame can be just so annoying because people are so critical of you. You can’t just say, ‘hi’. You say hi and people whisper’ man did you see the way she said hi? What an attitude.

# Buddy Valastro

No matter what the recipe, any baker can do wonders in the kitchen with some good ingredients and an upbeat attitude!

# Subramanian Swamy

India’s educated youth is skill-deficient, risk averse in attitude, and largely unemployable in the cutting-edge manufacturing sector.

# Gretchen Carlson

My parents raised me with a never-give-up attitude, telling me I could be anything I wanted to be. I was a serious violinist and a valedictorian of my high school class. I knew all about hard work.

# Howard Jacobson

Trawl through the world of blogs and tweets, and you will find readers complaining when they stumble upon a word they don’t recognise, an attitude that doesn’t accord with their own, a passage of thought they find hard work, a joke they don’t get or of which they don’t approve.

# Scott Turow

I trained as a writer before I became a lawyer. I was headed for a life as an English professor, but that just wasn’t me. I’m not a scholar; I didn’t have a scholar’s attitude toward literature.

# Park Ji-sung

In Korea, if a player makes a mistake, the other players don’t like to point it out. Rather, they try to embrace it; they take the attitude, ‘Let’s do better next time.’ But in the West, if you do something wrong, another player will make a point of saying something, and you will have to fix it immediately.

# Philippe Coutinho

I want to show that I have the same attitude to the game and personality that my hero had. I only ever met Ronaldinho once, at a charity event in Rio.

# Fallon Sherrock

I’m not going to dwell on what someone has said if it doesn’t affect my life. I think that attitude helps to strengthen my character.

# Robert Lewandowski

Contracts are not a holy relic in football. You can like this attitude or not, but it’s the truth. Sometimes you have to think about if it is meaningful to try out a new impulse.

# Nancy Dubuc

‘The Client List’ represents everything we want to be – fresh, exciting, and original with attitude.

# Nancy Dubuc

‘The Client List’ represents everything we want to be – fresh, exciting, and original with attitude.

# Tionne Watkins

I had an attitude problem when I was a kid. I’m not gonna lie.

# John Wall

I had a real bad attitude after my dad passed of liver cancer. I was 9, and we were really close.

# Michael Haneke

Films for TV have to be much closer to the book, mainly because the objective with a TV movie that translates literature is to get the audience, after seeing this version, to pick up the book and read it themselves. My attitude is that TV can never really be any form of art, because it serves audience expectations.

# Buzz Osborne

If you take a band like Nirvana, their biggest hits are structurally the same as even a hair metal band’s biggest hits. The structure’s not different – the attitude was different. Except it really wasn’t. It seemed a little more human.

# Ed McMahon

There is no planning. On the night it is really great, it’s euphoria and if it is not so great there is always tomorrow night. That was his attitude.

# Abhishek Bachchan

I’m not a model; hence I don’t see the reason to have a six-pack abs. I can pull off a tough and rugged look of a cop in ‘Dhoom’ series without taking my shirt off. Cops don’t have to move around without a shirt to flaunt their machismo. What makes the character of a cop stand out is his attitude and not his six-pack abs.

# Mekhi Phifer

I grew up in a rough environment. You want to be strong and have your presence felt out there. That attitude reflects how people see you.

# Michael Chang

I feel like I have as good a shot as anybody out there and I have gotten close in the past, so why not have the attitude that I can come out and play great tennis and maybe even win this tournament.

# Kamaru Usman

A lot of people forget that Americans are immigrants. People are forgetting that, to where people have this attitude, ‘We’re Americans, go back to your country. Go back. This is a free country.’ I always heard that growing up. I always heard that.

# Kamaru Usman

When I eventually get my hands on Covington, its more than just a fight: it symbolizes so many other things. It symbolizes the attitude toward immigrants in this country and around the world.

# Yami Gautam

I love the way Tyra Banks dresses up – she looks so elegant and glamorous in whatever she wears. The confidence and attitude she exudes on and off the ramp is remarkable.

# Jenova Chen

Creativity is not talent but attitude.

# Aaron Neville

I’m here now because of my faith. That’s what got me singing and what has kept me singing. That is what I have: what has kept me doing right and has provided me with the chances and the attitude and the skills to do this.

# Derrick Henry

That’s the attitude you have to have on defense. You have to want to hit. You have to want to be physical.

# Steve Buscemi

Bob Altman had this relaxed but serious attitude. Everybody loved him. I wanted him to adopt me.

# Herbert Read

The characteristic political attitude of today is not one of positive belief, but of despair.

# James Cromwell

The attitude we have towards our personal pets as opposed to the animals that suffer under the factory farm is hypocritical and delusional.

# Rachel Riley

I think there is a real negative attitude to splitting up with someone in our society, but it is good to stay friends.

# Rachel Riley

I am the type of person who just gets on with whatever life throws at you. I have a ‘do first, worry later’ kind of attitude.

# Steve Wynn

This generation… they have a different attitude. Instead of sitting and watching something, they want to be a part of it – they’re very hedonistic and sensual.

# Keith Flint

If you like energy, if you like attitude, if you like tough beats with black rhythms with a bit of soul and a bit of realness, come and check out the Prodigy.

# Marcel Marceau

What sculptors do is represent the essence of gesture. What is important in mime is attitude.

# Rain Dove

I always had this attitude of, ‘They don’t get to tell me how I live my life.’

# Marc-Andre ter Stegen

It is important to have the attitude and self confidence to be Barca’s goalkeeper, and that I’ve got.

# Katherine Mansfield

Could we change our attitude, we should not only see life differently, but life itself would come to be different.

# Jessie J

My attitude goes back to my childhood. I used to audition for theatrical roles, and you can’t stand out in a room full of ambitious eight-year-old girls by acting the wallflower. I realised then that I couldn’t do things half-heartedly.

# G. Willow Wilson

For most inhabitants of the Arab world, the prevailing cultural attitude toward women – fed and encouraged by Wahhabi doctrine, which is based on Bedouin social norms rather than Islamic jurisprudence – often trumps the rights accorded to women by Islam.

# Natalie Massenet

Always go into meetings or negotiations with a positive attitude. Tell yourself you’re going to make this the best deal for all parties.

# La La Anthony

If you walk out of the house and you feel like you look good, it changes the way you walk into a room. It changes your attitude and it changes your vibe.

# Dean Ambrose

I’ve always fed off negativity and wanting people to hate me. That attitude really fueled me for my entire career. So being a guy that people like and want to cheer for is the weird part.

# Richard Attenborough

If someone does something in an entertainment/pop ambience, that person becomes someone who has an impact on the conduct and attitude of a huge number of people who peripherally come in contact with them.

# Chris Jordan

I wasn’t interested in politics. My attitude about it was, I can’t make a difference no matter what I do. And the truth is, I don’t even care enough to try.

# Johnny Vegas

From a certain age, I sort of accepted myself for what I was. And although to other people it was like nothing ever goes right, I had a really nice attitude that I’d inherited from my parents, and especially from my dad.

# Alex Campbell

Even with, or perhaps, because of, this background, I have over the past few years sensed a very dramatic change in attitude on the part of Prince Edward Islanders towards the on-going rush for so-called modernization.

# Shawn Ashmore

Style is a reflection of your attitude and your personality.

# Vic Mensa

I just love The Cure. I think that their songwriting is so next level, and I really like the juxtaposition between this bad boy attitude and a softer, more emotional idea.

# Gwen Stefani

I don’t mean this in a stuck-up way, but I needed an attitude song.

# Safra A. Catz

I like to say it’s an attitude of not just thinking outside the box, but not even seeing the box.

# Hank Stram

You can’t win unless you have good people with great attitude. They are the ones who won the games. I didn’t win any games. You never saw a coach make a tackle anywhere. My philosophy was to get the best players and then try to do something new with them.

# Morris Raphael Cohen

Liberalism is an attitude rather than a set of dogmas – an attitude that insists upon questioning all plausible and self-evident propositions, seeking not to reject them but to find out what evidence there is to support them rather than their possible alternatives.

# Ravi Teja

Audiences like me doing action and comedy. I am a jovial person and have been so from childhood. I like to laugh my way through my work, and that attitude reflects in my roles. Even women hate me doing rona-dhona roles. So I don’t do emotional films.

# Rebel Wilson

Even when I’m playing someone named ‘Fat Amy.’ I’m all about confidence and attitude.

# Óscar Arias

Peace is a never-ending process, the work of many decisions by many people in many countries. It is an attitude, a way of life, a way of solving problems and resolving conflicts.

# Debi Mazar

My mom had me at 16 and took me every place she went. I remember going on peace marches. She tried to take me to Woodstock – it was pouring rain. It was on my birthday, and I was crying so much in the car they turned the car around and dumped me at my grandmother’s house… I had a little attitude.

# Frederick Banting

Best said possibly the only thing that would have changed my attitude: ‘What will happen to me?’ ‘Your friend MacLeod will look after you,’ I said. Best replied, ‘If you get out, I get out.’ There was silence for some moments. I thought of all the joy of the early experiments which we had known together. Here was loyalty.

# Kofi Kingston

You literally can’t do any more than your best so that was always my attitude and that is still my attitude, which is to go out there and give it my best every single night.

# Jim Kelly

Never walk into a hospital crying. Have an attitude that you will make someone else’s life better.

# Jim Kelly

I’ve been through so much. I just live each day, and whatever happens, happens. I’ve lived a very good life. My life has definitely changed, but the attitude is still the same.

# Leonard Susskind

Extra dimensional theories are sometimes considered science fiction with equations. I think that’s a wrong attitude. I think extra dimensions are with us, they are with us to stay, and they entered physics a long time ago. They are not going to go away.

# Meles Zenawi

An oversupply of national sentiment is not the problem in Somalia. The problem is a lack of it. The problem is an oversupply of sub-sub-clannish attitude.

# Shawn Michaels

The only thing you have to have is patience and an attitude that you aren’t ever going to give up.

# Carrie Brownstein

I think people would describe a lot of Sleater-Kinney as unsettling. And I don’t think our best moments have sonic assonance to them. I think that we are best with a little bit of… a caustic attitude and tone.

# Mark Frost

One of the things that’s unique about Louisiana politics is that people here have a much more realistic attitude about who their politicians are. They know they are human and not saints or Mormons or Eagle Scouts.

# Alain Prost

It’s not too good to have this attitude in F1. It could be a disadvantage.

# Bart Starr

Athletic competition clearly defines the unique power of our attitude.

# Bill Shorten

It is devastating that jail is seen as a rite of passage for many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, part of the natural order of things. It is an outrage that there is an attitude that this is normal. This is not normal. We can’t shrug our shoulders and say this is just a ‘fact of life’ in remote Australia.

# Julie Klausner

I’m always excited when I make it on anyone’s list – even if it’s for affirmative action. My attitude is, ‘Am I the token woman on this list? Because I’ll take it.’

# Yamamoto Tsunetomo

One’s appearance bespeaks dignity corresponding to the depth of his character. One’s concentrated effort, serene attitude, taciturn air, courteous disposition, thoroughly polite bearing, gritted teeth with a piercing look – each of these reveals dignity. Such outward appearance, in short, comes from constant attentiveness and seriousness.

# Manu Ginobili

If you take going to the bench as a demotion or something that’s terrible, you start with a bad attitude.

# CL

N.Y. is definitely one of my favorites. Love the culture, people, attitude and music, art, and fashion.

# Veronica Lake

I’ve reached a point in my life where it’s the little things that matter… I was always a rebel and probably could have got much farther had I changed my attitude. But when you think about it, I got pretty far without changing attitudes. I’m happier with that.

# Isa Guha

We won’t necessarily sledge so much but we do have that attitude of ‘They’re not going to score the runs, we’re going to take the wickets.’

# Jason Pierre-Paul

Honestly, it is not all about attitude; it is all about heart. You can have the attitude, you can have the swagger, you can talk your way, but it is all about heart

# Peter Criss

For me, music is all about emotion and attitude.

# Charles Revson

If you can’t change your fate, change your attitude.

# Andrew Scheer

I’ve always been worried about Justin Trudeau’s attitude towards trade. We saw during the softwood lumber negotiations that he failed to get an extension while President Obama was still in office.

# Hima Das

My attitude is different. And no one understands me the way my friends do.

# John McGahern

When I was in my 20s it did occur to me that there was something perverted about an attitude that thought that killing somebody was a minor offence compared to kissing somebody.

# Jon Jones

I believe I have the attitude of a champion and a winner, and I’m not apologetic for it.

# Ryan Stiles

I did standup for a lot of years, too, but when you come out as a standup, you get the feeling from a crowd – it’s a kind of a ‘make me laugh’ attitude. But when you come out as an improvisor, they realize that they’re suggesting everything you do. So they’re already invested in the scene, and they actually want it to work.

# Carol Vorderman

It really was hand-to-mouth and you can say, ‘Poor little me, how dreadful, what a deprived childhood’, but I didn’t feel that way at all. It’s all about the attitude at home.

# Heather Brooke

I trained as a journalist in America where paying sources is frowned upon. Now I work in the U.K. where there is a more flexible attitude.

# Anitta

All-powerful is a woman who doesn’t need to be beautiful, but she has so much attitude that she is marvellous, she is powerful.

# Santiago Calatrava

In the 19th and 20th centuries we saw nature as something to use to our profit, but the attitude of man towards nature in the 21st century will be a bit different.

# Jesse Lingard

I tend to be pessimistic about everything: If things seem to be going good, I’m worried that it’s going to end; if things are bad, then I’m worried that it’s going to be permanent. It’s not a very comfortable attitude to have all the time.

# Jesse Lingard

Paul Scholes was the main figure for me growing up. His attitude, he’s humble off the pitch – you didn’t hear much about him – but on the pitch, he was loud, aggressive, liked to tackle, and I learned off him.

# Heart Evangelista

It’s not in what you wear but how you handle yourself. Like Hollywood celebrity Lindsay Lohan, I used to like her a lot because of her great fashion style but look at her attitude. Fashion is also about knowing what’s right and doing what is right.

# Theophilus London

I can pull off anything; I have the height and the attitude. The only thing I can’t wear is a leotard, but I can wear anything else.

# Terence Trent D’Arby

I don’t think there is anyone I’ve ever met who has been more passionate about music than me, but rock ‘n’ roll has never been about just music. It is music, attitude, personality, persona, myth, legend.

# Vijay Sethupathi

Director Jai Krishna is an optimist who has a never-say-die attitude. He has impressed me thoroughly with his faith in the industry. Not many are aware of the fact that this man had to wait for almost 30 years in this industry to direct ‘Vanmam,’ his first film.

# Reed Morano

We have this attitude in America of, ‘Someone else is going to fix the problem.’ That’s what the majority of Americans have. Or, ‘I’m just going to go online and sign this petition, and that will take care of it.’ That’s doesn’t do it.

# Dele Alli

Steven Gerrard was someone I looked up to massively. I’d always try to copy him, right down to the boots he was wearing. It was his attitude on the pitch that stood out – you could really see how much he hated losing.

# Peter Jackson

There’s a very go-to kind of attitude in New Zealand that stems from that psyche of being quite isolated and not being able to rely on the rest of the world’s infrastructure.

# Sonakshi Sinha

There are actually no political aspirations. I think you need to have the right attitude and aptitude for it. I don’t think I have the right aptitude for it. I think it is unfair to push somebody in that direction just because my father happens to be a politician.

# Rebecca MacKinnon

There is clearly a constituency that appreciates the message that Google is sending, that it finds the Chinese government’s attitude to the Internet and censorship unacceptable.

# Kyle Korver

It hasn’t always been easy. There’s a lot of hard moments. Sometimes you learn from the end of the bench. Sometimes you learn from injuries. Sometimes you learn the most through the hard things. If you can keep a good attitude and keep on working, eventually situations change, and you can put those things to use.

# Clarence Seedorf

Bolatelli is an exciting player, but his stupid attitude sometimes attracts attention from the crowd – nothing more, nothing less.

# Tom Cotton

I can assure you that I’m not very close to Hillary Clinton. I think she’s disqualified herself from Commander-in-Chief by her cavalier attitude towards our nation’s secrecy laws.

# Taavet Hinrikus

The attitude to failure is one of the characteristics that’s often called out as the difference between the U.S. and Europe. And we do need to be less risk-averse, more embracing of failure. Having failed makes you look bad in Europe. But in the U.S., it makes you look experienced.

# Taavet Hinrikus

Being a ‘global citizen’ is not something reserved for the global elite anymore. Thanks to the democratising power of technology, it’s not a trend determined by privilege or even age but by attitude.

# Dana White

Conor McGregor has that fight anybody, anywhere attitude but doesn’t just have the attitude, he lives it.

# Esther McVey

Sometimes, for girls, it’s about building confidence and giving them a can-do attitude. It’s seeing role models, people like yourselves, doing those jobs and achieving them, just to say, ‘I can do that.’

# Tina Knowles

I’m a huge fan of Motown. When you saw them on stage, you saw sparkle… you saw attitude. They didn’t have on t-shirt and jeans.

# Niko Kovac

If teams play Bayern, they bring another attitude to the pitch than if they play teams who are not Bayern.

# Dustin Lance Black

Although my mom and I had often disagreed politically and personally, she’d led our family by example, instilling in us a can-do attitude that often defied reason – an optimism many would call foolish, ignorant, and naive, but an optimism that occasionally shocked our neighbors and our world with its brazen veracity.

# Willem de Kooning

The attitude that nature is chaotic and that the artist puts order into it is a very absurd point of view, I think. All that we can hope for is to put some order into ourselves.

# Kiefer Sutherland

There are a lot of movies I’d like to throw away. That’s not to say that I went in with that attitude. Any film I ever started, I went in with all the hope and best intentions in the world, but some films just don’t work.

# Richard Flanagan

There’s always been something deeply disturbing about the Abbott government’s attitude to women.

# Arthur Erickson

Part of our western outlook stems from the scientific attitude and its method of isolating the parts of a phenomenon in order to analyze them.

# Arthur Erickson

There is a single thread of attitude, a single direction of flow, that joins our present time to its early burgeoning in Mediterranean civilization.

# Margaret Sanger

Woman must have her freedom, the fundamental freedom of choosing whether or not she will be a mother and how many children she will have. Regardless of what man’s attitude may be, that problem is hers – and before it can be his, it is hers alone.

# Wojciech Szczesny

My confidence never gets crushed. Whatever happens, my attitude doesn’t change.

# Adam Conover

Information’s right at our fingertips, but so is what you want to believe. It’s the classic thing of someone Googling ‘autism vaccines’ – they’ll find what they’re looking for, depending on what they think. You’ll find lots of people who are just bolstering what they already think, bolstering their cultural attitude.

# Alex Tabarrok

I utterly reject the view that the Third World is doomed to poverty and starvation. Not only is this wrong, I think this attitude verges on the immoral, like thinking that slavery is an unalterable facet of the human condition so why bother doing anything about it?

# Steve Forbes

The phenomenon of home schooling is a wonderful example of the American can-do attitude. Growing numbers of parents have become disenchanted with government-run public schools. Many parents have simply taken matters into their own hands, literally.

# Sridevi

It is very important for an artiste to be excited about her work in every phase of her career. If a tiredness seeps into one’s attitude, it will show in the quality of one’s work.

# Ruth Rendell

I don’t like the way young people write and talk about the old. I don’t like their attitude, which, if they weren’t young and therefore bright and vibrant, would be called outdated.

# Johnny Van Zant

Johnny Colt is a character, and most people in Lynyrd Skynyrd are characters, so he fits in great with us. He’s got an attitude, man, and I love it, and that’s what we need.

# Stefon Diggs

Each day, I come in with a positive attitude, trying to get better.

# Grandmaster Flash

What has happened is that to some degree they have taken an attitude where they don’t listen to demos of diverse subject matters. They’re looking for demos like the record the guy on the left just did.

# Hamdi Ulukaya

Every small business will give you an entrepreneurial way of looking at things. I guarantee you that for every plant that closes, if you gave it to one small-business person in that community, he or she would find a way to make it work. The small-business attitude is you always find a way to make it work.

# Brit Hume

Fairness is not an attitude. It’s a professional skill that must be developed and exercised.

# Karan Johar

I am always acting, be at a party, at work or in office. My attitude changes from meeting to meeting, from being serious to intense to funny, depending on who is in the room.

# Tony Stewart

I go into it with the attitude that I’m not going to look at my leg, and as soon as they get the wrapping off of it, I’m like, ‘I’ve got to look.’ It’s like yelling at a dog going, ‘Squirrel!’ I cannot not look. And then I spend the rest of the time sitting there with a wet washcloth on my forehead trying to regain consciousness.

# Samantha Mumba

There are a lot of female artists my age around at the moment, but they’re all American and blonde and blue-eyed and smiley. I’m totally the opposite of that. I want to show a bit more attitude and I have an opinion.

# Theodor Herzl

It goes without saying that the Jewish people can have no other goal than Palestine and that, whatever the fate of the proposition may be, our attitude toward the land of our fathers is and shall remain unchangeable.

# Sterling K. Brown

When I finally got the chance to do ‘The People v. O.J. Simpson,’ my peers embraced me with the same attitude. They didn’t make me feel small or insignificant. They treated me as a peer. It was a wonderful experience.

# Emmylou Harris

Animals have a much better attitude to life and death than we do. They know when their time has come. We are the ones that suffer when they pass, but it’s a healing kind of grief that enables us to deal with other griefs that are not so easy to grab hold of.

# Gong Li

When I speak in English, my expressions become different. My attitude, too. I’m not sure why, but there really is a difference. My hands move differently when I speak English.

# Bel Powley

I’ve set the bar high in terms of having a very feminist attitude towards how I present my body.

# Isla Fisher

I’m definitely attracted to other Australians; I have a laid-back attitude to life that I feel is very Australian; I love a good barbie.

# The Miz

The reason I wanted to be a WWE Superstar was because of The Rock. I used to watch him in The Attitude Era. There was no one more electrifying and no one more must-see than The Rock.

# Jameis Winston

Well, ever since I was six, I had a little notebook with coverages and notes on the mental aspect of a game, what it meant to be a leader and what type of attitude you had to have.

# DeMarcus Cousins

You can call it what you want: bad attitude, immature. You can say, ‘He’s a thug.’ But I’m a competitor.

# Sheamus

You look back at the Attitude Era and the level of entertainment we put in the ring now. The Attitude Era doesn’t even come close. I’m not afraid to say that, either.

# Sheamus

I try to enter every match or every event with the same attitude, because to me, they’re all as important as each other, and you’re only as good as your last fight.

# Dolph Ziggler

I’m someone who loses 80 to 90 percent of the time. Even when I lost, I put my body on the line and I told the best story. If I stood out, if my attitude towards fighting was different, I found a way to stay around and keep revamping myself and my character.

# Ro Khanna

Sometimes, in Silicon Valley, there is this attitude that we know best and we can change the world. The boldness allows us to invent the future. But, we need more empathy for those who are left behind and a recognition that Silicon Valley can’t just call the shots and expect change.

# Craig David

Kasabian are wicked. They’ve got the hit songs, but it’s the presence in the performance and the attitude with it that I love.

# Melvyn Bragg

Is it rather stupid and dangerous to take Magna Carta so much for granted, as many of us seem to do, and to think of this attitude as ‘very English?’

# Deborah Meaden

You need to tell people where they stand. If someone’s done a good job, you should tell them they’ve done damn well. But if they haven’t, you should take the same attitude.

# Chloe Madeley

Apart from my dad, James is the most driven man I’ve ever met. They both have the attitude that there’s plenty of time to sleep when you’re dead.

# Alex Zanardi

My never-say-never attitude has helped me a lot. That’s why after a short period after the accident, I’m capable of doing almost everything on my own.

# Vaani Kapoor

You cannot be laid back at any given time and think ‘you have made it.’ You need to have your head on your shoulders and have the right attitude. Your attitude is extremely important.

# Lothar Matthaus

For Guardiola, the system and tactics can change but not the approach, attitude, or philosophy.

# John Morrison

If your attitude is good and you want to have good matches and you want to be employed for the right reasons, then I think people start to see that and respect that and respect you as a person, and you can fit in anywhere.

# Angad Bedi

My message for young parents is that although it is very natural to worry, it doesn’t lead to anything. Try to live positively because your attitude is going to rub off on your children.

# Jinder Mahal

Mentally, you can’t expect positive things to start happening in your life with a negative attitude.

# Jack Wilshere

As a player, if your attitude is questioned, it’s horrible.

# Stuart Broad

People say I inherited my feisty attitude on the cricket pitch from my dad, but he and I might disagree. The most useful trait I’ve inherited from my mother is to make sure that I’m always organised.

# Joshua Wong

I’m optimistic Hong Kong will achieve universal suffrage – no matter the attitude of Beijing.

# Yani Tseng

I will keep smiling, be positive and never give up! I will give 100 percent each time I play. These are always my goals and my attitude.

# El-P

A lot of the attitude I used to have about being from New York when I was younger just disappeared when I started to the rest of the world.

# Jean-Michel Jarre

Generation after generation, there is this never-ending, contemptuous, condescending attitude to the next generation or the next way of thinking: music, art, politics, whatever. And I have never been like that.

# Tzipi Livni

The attitude of ‘every nation unto itself’ is a destructive one for the future of Israel.

# Rufus Sewell

My feelings about my mortality are less selfish than they used to be. I used to affect a cavalier attitude to death; now I see it from my son’s perspective.

# Ben Howard

You realise that people do things differently to each other and, more and more, I realise that there’s no right or wrong. You can be a pop star and singing cabaret, and the entertainment of it is your flamboyance, it is your attitude.

# Nia Vardalos

What I wish I had, is that I wish I was a little more Greek, in that I wish I could lose my North American driven attitude and that I could be a little bit more poetic and laissez faire.

# Shilpa Shetty

I was always spiritual, even as a child. I was taught to pray, show gratitude. We had an attitude of gratitude. Even if life was ugly, bad or sad – we prayed.

# Anthony Rendon

We have our great days and our bad days. No matter what bad day I go through or strike out four times in a row, I still want to have that great attitude and go after the game and go talk to the kids and not worry about the game and let them know that this is what matters.

# Walter Anderson

I am responsible. Although I may not be able to prevent the worst from happening, I am responsible for my attitude toward the inevitable misfortunes that darken life.

# Baron Corbin

That attitude, that persona I carry is something I’ve always had with me. I mean, that’s what made me successful, especially in football, and is making me successful now.

# Baron Corbin

In college, practice is draggin’. Coach goes, ‘Oh, hey, go on over there and start a fight with one of the linebackers.’ Okay. So I’ll go and start a fight with one of the linebackers… It’s just an attitude that really developed in me, and now we just amplify it times 100 and make sure everybody understands what I do and what I’m about.

# Baron Corbin

What you see of me on TV and all of that, that is me – that’s truly how I feel. I’m just multiplying it. It’s that arrogance, that confidence, the belief that I’m the best, and there’s a true attitude that I don’t care what others think.

# Walter Kirn

The fictionally correct have all the answers, and that’s what’s wrong with them. They’re artistic technocrats. There’s no dilemma so knotty, no question so baffling, that it can’t be smoothly neutralized by dialing up the right attitude adjustment. Poor old Hemingway. If only he’d known.

# Gary Chapman

In reality, relationships that are successful tend to take the attitude, ‘How can I help you?’ ‘How can I enrich your life?’ ‘How can I be a better husband to you,’ if it’s a marriage.

# Will Poulter

I was lucky that I had friends who have maintained a very regular attitude with me and haven’t changed how they interact with me.

# John Gourley

Portland is where all the fringe groups went to escape. Where the outliers brought that DIY, punk rock attitude and made the city their own.

# James Holzhauer

My parents were both very frugal, and I think they’re responsible for my attitude of always looking for good value, especially in my work. In a way, sports betting is like a big game of ‘The Price Is Right:’ just like I’d pay $3 for a Coke Zero but not $4, I’d lay three points on the Bears-Packers point spread but not four.

# Major Owens

The problem was just a mean attitude that festers and has to be challenged.

# William Hurt

The enemies of acting are mood and attitude and other general homogenized disruptive entities. Whereas acting is about action – doing – and unless you can figure out a way to craft in an imaginative reality to which you don’t submit, you’re going to be out of control. You’ll flip out. The job is to be surprised.

# Rob Cross

The harder you work the more you will deserve and that is the attitude I have.

# Christopher Lloyd

I had an attitude about some work, like television sitcoms. It was selling your soul.

# Christopher Lloyd

I had kind of an attitude, which was not uncommon in New York. Theater people who went to Hollywood to do sitcoms were selling out. That was the attitude. And I didn’t really relish the idea of being cast in a sitcom, because I shared that attitude.

# Zoe Quinn

A big barrier to people getting help with online harassment is the general attitude either that it’s not a real issue – that it’s ‘only’ online – or that it’s limited to someone saying they don’t like you, and all of that stems from a basic misunderstanding of what we mean when we say ‘online harassment.’

# Sonam Kapoor

I may not be the number one movie star, or my films might not be doing too good. I am grateful for what life has offered me. I have got a great family, parents are together, have a great sister, I get to holiday. All these things make me grateful towards life, for everything. I always say – have an attitude of gratitude.

# Tom Anderson

I have a very negative attitude toward business and businessmen.

# David Stern

You walk into the playgrounds in Shanghai and Beijing, and you see youngsters who are shorter, shaking and baking and having attitude. And Jeremy Lin is going to inspire all of them.

# Tom Hodgkinson

What is required as we travel towards full unemployment is not new legislation but a gradual change of mental attitude, a shift in values. As our taste for idling grows, we will refuse to work for old-fashioned bosses who demand a five-day, 40-hour, nine-to-five type week, or worse.

# Saara Aalto

I’m of course jumping right in with the attitude that I can win the Eurovision Song Contest – or at least finish in second place!

# Lzzy Hale

It’s funny: I’ve seen a lot of the rock attitude come into play in the rap world, where it’s like they’re angry, or there’s this defiance going on, and there’s a lot of danger, and it’s actually really encouraging; they’re opening the door for us to kind of move on in again.

# Gary Woodland

There are going to be bad things in your life, a lot of ups and downs, but the only thing you can control is your attitude. And if you do that, in the end good things will happen.

# Gary Woodland

I can control my attitude, and I can control my game.

# Wladimir Klitschko

All the champions – you go and ask Mike Tyson or Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano, Lennox Lewis and myself included, and I’m sorry for putting myself in line with all the other great names – but the champion’s attitude is it doesn’t matter who is in front of me, I am going to conquer this person and win the fight and knock the person out.

# Tyrus

The Attitude Era had the crazy rock & roll girls and stuff.

# Kerry King

I don’t reflect much, unless I’m talking to the media. I have more of a ‘Forward, march!’ kind of attitude.

# Tom Frieden

Thanks to malaria elimination efforts in United States in the 1940s, most people in the U.S. today have never had any direct contact with the disease, and most doctors have never seen a case. That success means it’s easy to have a relaxed attitude about protecting ourselves.

# Ruben Fleischer

Venom’ is a standalone character who has so much attitude, menace and ferocity. He’s also really funny in the comics and in our movie. He’s a really compelling guy that can completely stand on his own. When he’s played by Tom Hardy, and Eddie Brock is his partner, that relationship is enough for one movie.

# Leila Janah

I think the philosophy that you have to have if you travel frequently is, stuff is just stuff. Even if it has some sentimental or family connection, if you lose it in the world, it’s still just a thing, and I think if you don’t have that attitude, you will get incredibly stressed out and not enjoy your travels.

# Edgar Ramirez

I think that, in the end, the military behavior and intelligence services are not very different from each other. It’s an attitude of hunters; they’re observing the prey.

# Ashley Cole

Gary Neville said he thought it was a waste of time playing for England because he has not won anything. I kind of understand where he is coming from. But the players we have here, a lot of them have won things and have the attitude that we need to win.

# Simona Halep

For myself and my attitude, I have, every day, to work on it.

# Shahid Kapoor

I am a Piscean, and they have a lovingly detached attitude towards life.

# Olivier Giroud

It’s nice to be cheered, but I’ll always have a good attitude on the pitch.

# Caroline Polachek

The men’s dance style in dancehall is territorial, but it’s also flirtatious and it’s also showing off strength by way of smooth movement that you can only do if you’re really strong. It has so much attitude.

# Julen Lopetegui

I’ve no doubt about the attitude of the players. Everything moves quickly in football; we coaches move on quickly from victory and defeat.

# Julen Lopetegui

Our players have a fantastic attitude, and people are going to see a Madrid side with a lot of talent.

# Janet Evanovich

The ‘Stephanie Plums’ are very much Jersey books. So you can’t get away from attitude and objectionable language.

# Pat McGrath

My intention when I created Labs was that the people that used our products would be empowered to explore a fearless, daring attitude towards makeup – that’s why we always write ‘Use Without Caution’ on everything we make.

# Ken Shamrock

Especially watching him struggle, cause I was with him when he was struggling – changed his name to The Rock, all of a sudden he has the attitude a little bit, he started getting the mic, started cutting promos. His character just developed.

# Ken Shamrock

I was in all the Pay Per Views and all the house shows, and I thought I made a pretty good impact and helped change pro wrestling – not by myself, but definitely, I was a part of it in the Attitude Era. There is no recognition towards me or about me, and I’m kind of disappointed.

# Ingrid Betancourt

We’re humans. Why always turn human attitude into political behaviours? I hate that.

# Donny Osmond

My father instilled in me the attitude of prevailing. If there’s a challenge, go for it. If there’s a wall to break down, break it down.

# Jeff Jarrett

A guy like AJ Styles, the cream always rises to the top. He gets all the credit. Bobby Roode is another one. Their talent got them to where they’re at. Talent gets you to the top. Attitude keeps you there.

# Jeanne Damas

For Parisian women, it’s not about looks; it’s not about style – for me, it’s more about this beautiful city, culture, and lifestyle. It’s more about attitude – style it your own way.

# Heather Graham

A man can be 43, and people will say, ‘Oh, he’s a cool bachelor, and he just hasn’t settled down,’ but with a woman, it’s, ‘Oh, she must have really wanted to get married, but she didn’t.’ I honestly think that attitude is a little bit sexist.

# Fethullah Gulen

Even if, at the helm of the country there are people who would like to replace me and suppress me and oppress me at the level of blood-sucking vampires, then I do not want to remove them with anti-democratic means. This is my attitude toward any and even the idea of the consideration of a military coup.

# Pawel Pawlikowski

One of my favorite writers is Chekhov. I love his attitude toward the world. Just accept things for what they are. Don’t judge. Be moral as you tell your story, but have no moral at the end. Just look at it.

# Jalen Brunson

I just focus on what I can control, and that’s how hard I play and my attitude.

# Shane Douglas

To be someplace for ten years or to work anywhere for ten years is a tough deal. But to work in the WWE for that long, knowing how their dressing room is run with this top heavy, condescending ‘do this and nothing else’ attitude, it gets tiresome.

# Karl Iagnemma

In Singapore, drivers generally obey the rules, but the attitude around pedestrians is actually quite different. It’s culturally different. People drive safely, but it’s not the same deference shown to pedestrians.

# Nancy Cartwright

I will not get very far with this attitude.

# Peter Marino

When I opened Chanel in London, they were happy. People would go, ‘Oh, I just came in to see it. It’s so beautiful.’ And you leave with a positive attitude toward the brand. Now, you don’t really get that online. You don’t go, like, ‘Wow.’

# Malcolm-Jamal Warner

People kind of have a misconception, because when someone calls me Theo and I correct them, say, ‘No, my name is Malcolm,’ they think I have an attitude about it and I don’t want to be associated with the show.

# Pim Fortuyn

Muslims have a very bad attitude to homosexuality, they’re very intolerant.

# Todd Phillips

There’s a punk-rock attitude, clearly, to ‘Hated.’ There’s even a punk-rock attitude to ‘The Hangover,’ I think. We start the movie with a Glenn Danzig song.

# Malcolm Nance

Across all U.S. intelligence agencies, there is a lack of cultural respect and a poorly tuned attitude toward foreign peoples and cultures.

# Meg Rosoff

I’ve been fired five times for having a bad attitude.

# Roy Keane

I try and have a relaxed attitude and stay quite switched off until about an hour before kick-off.

# Helmut Jahn

The American attitude towards efficiency and execution should always underlie architecture.

# Makoto Shinkai

I have never really sensed any of Miyazaki’s artistic influence on Ando. If there is an influence, it’s more in his attitude to his work.

# Max Richter

‘Memoryhouse’ came out, and there wasn’t a single review and zero sales, and after about a year, it was deleted. So I recorded The ‘Blue Notebooks’ on a little indie label, and my attitude was, ‘Well, if nobody is listening, I might as well keep doing what I’m doing’.

# Warwick Davis

My dad instilled in me a great sense of humor. I wasn’t bullied at school because my outward attitude was confident, and that helps.

# Donald Johanson

Commitment, belief and positive attitude are all important if you’re going to be a success, whether you’re in sports, in business or, as in my case, anthropology.

# John Varvatos

A black suit can be classic and timeless and certainly for most occasions. But remember, it’s not so much the color of suit as it is about the fit, cut, style, and, of course, attitude you have when wearing it.

# Timothy F. Cahill

I want to work with kids and help develop them, show them the right way, the right morals and attitude into how to become a better footballer. Australia has many different cultures but I’d like to bring in the indigenous style, bring their competitiveness, athleticism and raw ability into the frame.

# Will Grier

There have been so many stories out there about me, so many untruths. I’ve always believed you can only control what you can control. I can control my attitude, my effort, my commitment to West Virginia. I can’t control lies.

# Stephen Moyer

Vampires are so old that they don’t need to impress anyone anymore. They’re comfortable in their own skin. It’s this enigmatic strength that’s very romantic and old-fashioned. I think it goes back to something of a Victorian attitude of finding a strong man who’s going to look after his woman.

# Mike Judge

I don’t return anybody’s calls unless it’s going to mean extra money for me. And I’ve completely cut off all relationships with any friends that I had before the show. And I’ve copped an attitude.

# Big Boi

The music is first and foremost everything – no egos, no attitude, nothing – it’s about the music.

# Charley Pride

The time I spent thinking about how I was better than somebody else or worrying about somebody else’s attitude was time I could put to better use.

# Laura Carmichael

The Twenties have this sort of attitude where you never know what’s around the corner.

# Eric Braeden

The directors I respect are the ones who have a collaborative attitude, who collaborate with actors.

# Hermann Maier

My attitude on skis is different now. I have learned to put less pressure on myself and on the edges of my skis when I’m racing, to be keep myself more under control.

# Carson Daly

I hope ‘The Voice’ has a fifteen-year run, don’t get me wrong. But I come from nothing, and maybe it’s the Irish in me, but my attitude is always like, ‘They’ll figure me out soon.’

# Teddy Thompson

I like England more than I did when I left. It’s become a bit of a better country in the last ten years, in the attitude of it. A bit more Americanized, which is both good and bad. At least when you order a cup of coffee they don’t give you a hard time.

# Martina Hingis

I always give Lindsay so much credit for her tennis game, for her attitude, for her person, and because of how she deals with all the things. I don’t think people give her enough credit for how well she’s doing.

# Peter Mandelson

I do not share the half-in, half-out attitude to the EU of some in Britain. Britain’s place is in Europe.

# Lita Ford

Stiletto, I look at it more as an attitude as opposed to a high-heeled shoe.

# Lita Ford

It’s better for me to play with guys because Rock ‘n’ Roll has such an aggressive attitude.

# Lita Ford

I need that aggressive attitude to play my music and more men have that attitude than women.

# Diane Wakoski

I think one of the things that language poets are very involved with is getting away from conventional ideas of beauty, because those ideas contain a certain attitude toward women, certain attitudes toward sex, certain attitudes toward race, etc.

# Treat Williams

Bambi can’t act. Bambi had major attitude.

# Alex de Minaur

You want the players in the locker room to know you as that kid that fights ’til the end, has that never-say-die attitude.

# Jeremy Hardy

I feel that our attitude to our borders is wrong; it’s the first time that an awful lot of people think you can and should just close your border and remain in this splendid isolation.
