On 'Van Halen,' I was a young punk, and everything revolved around the fastest kid in town, gunslinger attitude. But I'd say that at the time of 'Fair Warning,' I started concentrating more on songwriting. But I guess in most people's minds I'm just a gunslinger.

Betty White

Asa Gray

Surfers have the most attitude.

Clarence Thomas

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.

Aung San Suu Kyi

Clarence Thomas

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.

Francois Hollande

I think it has something to do with being British. We don't take ourselves as seriously as some other countries do. I think a lot of people take themselves far too seriously I find that a very tedious attitude.

Joan Collins

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.

Sara Blakely

My attitude to writing is like when you do wallpapering, you remember where all the little bits are that don't meet. And then your friends say: It's terrific!

I was fortunate to play for Pete Rose and have teammates like Ken Griffey Sr., Tony Perez and Dave Concepcion. I grew up in the game with a mature attitude. I've always known it was better to be seen and not heard.

Eric Davis

I've never been out with any of the cast of Coronation Street. We're all very close friends so it's very much a professional attitude.

Richard Fleeshman

Nothing. We're all friends and friendly. So when the cameras go down, depending on the mood or the nature of the material we're dealing with, there's usually a kind of a prevailing light attitude that's floating around.

Richard Dean Anderson

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.

Yani Tseng

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

Christopher Nolan

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.

Donny Osmond

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.

Jack Kemp

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

Jose Saramago

Although as a sailor I despised politics - for I loved my sailor's life and still love it today - conditions forced me to take up a definite attitude towards political problems.

Fritz Sauckel

How do you nurture a positive attitude when all the statistics say you're a dead man? You go to work.

Patrick Swayze

The pilot looked at his cues of attitude and speed and orientation and so on and responded as he would from the same cues in an airplane, but there was no way it flew the same. The simulators had showed us that.

Alan Shepard

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.

Marlee Matlin

I went to England in the '70s, and I was in my early 20s. There was still a residue of that era of being an underclass or colonial. I assume it must have been a more aggressive and prominent attitude 40 years before that, because Australia internationally wasn't regarded as having much cultural value. We were a country full of sheep and convicts.

Geoffrey Rush

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

Joseph Brodsky

Gardening is not trivial. If you believe that it is, closely examine why you feel that way. You may discover that this attitude has been forced upon you by mass media and the crass culture it creates and maintains. The fact is, gardening is just the opposite - it is, or should be, a central, basic expression of human life.

Andrew Weil

Becoming an author changes your attitude too. Once you see where books come from, and how they're made, they never seem quite as sacred again.

Lev Grossman

I was bringing my attitude as a regular person 'cause this is my attitude.

Glenn Danzig

If you can attribute your success entirely to your own mental effort, to your own attitude, to some spiritual essence that you have that is better than other people's, then that must feel pretty good.

Barbara Ehrenreich

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.

Andy Cohen

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.

Michael Haneke

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

Rob Sheffield

I haven't seen Clones, which has been during this period when I haven't seen much of anything, but I did see Phantom Menace, and see my feelings about it - see, first of all, I think that when you make a lot of movies, your attitude about the movies changes.

Lawrence Kasdan

My attitude is always one of sensuality, aggressive enthusiasm and a kind of outrageousness in my expression.

Sally Kirkland

Epic poetry exhibits life in some great symbolic attitude. It cannot strictly be said to symbolize life itself, but always some manner of life.

Lascelles Abercrombie

When you retire, it's a place in life, a part of the journey. You just don't quit work you develop an attitude where you can do what you please.

Tom T. Hall

When a parent shows up with an attitude of entitlement, understand that under it is a boatload of anxiety.

Robert Evans

What reader wants to be told what attitude to strike?

Ian Mcewan

My denial and irresponsible attitude about asthma put me at great risk and caused me so much needless suffering. My hope is that the kids I talk to learn to open up about their asthma, become educated about their condition, and seek help.

Jackie Joyner-Kersee

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.

Margaret Sanger

Even as a little child, I've always had that comedian kind of attitude.

Etta James

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.

Christian Louboutin

In just the same way the thousands of successive positions of a runner are contracted into one sole symbolic attitude, which our eye perceives, which art reproduces, and which becomes for everyone the image of a man who runs.

Henri Bergson

In the late '70s, maybe just before I started, there was still an attitude that if you did film you didn't do TV and vice versa, but that's gone now.

Robert Carlyle

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.

Ariel Sharon

I love her attitude, but as much as I'd like to bring my medals to a speech or appearance, I never do.

Mary Lou Retton

We must advertise to U.S. business that we are there, that our attitude has changed, and that we care. When we are asked to help, we have to perform and provide the right advice.

Lawrence Eagleburger

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

Helmut Jahn

I have such an extreme attitude about work, where I can just completely be derelict of my responsibilities and then when I am not derelict, I am completely indulged in it. I swing pretty wildly from the two extremes.

Geddy Lee

I have a political attitude, but I'm certainly not a politician.

Kgalema Motlanthe

I think my attitude to human beings has changed since leaving prison.

Jeffrey Archer

I went to the Performing Arts School and studied classical ballet. That attitude is something that's put into your head. You are never thin enough.

Carmen Electra

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

Jean Piaget

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.

Shane Warne

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.

Ray Romano

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

Marcel Marceau

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.

Carol Vorderman

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.

Joseph Ratzinger

You know what's funny to me? Attitude.

Don Rickles

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

Herbert Read

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

Charles Revson

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.

Waylon Jennings

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.

Diane Lane

I have played on many teams throughout my career, and I know when a team has the tools, and the right positive attitude towards winning.

Boomer Esiason

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.

Stephen Moyer

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.

Nia Vardalos

I was always the guy getting kicked out of my classes at school for having an attitude problem.

Chevy Chase

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.

Mark Wahlberg

Style is a reflection of your attitude and your personality.

Shawn Ashmore

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

John McCarthy

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

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.

Walter Pater

Players should know that if you can't make the contribution of the winning shot, that your attitude every day when you come to practice, or the positive contribution you make through cheering and keeping up team morale, is just as important in the overall picture.

Sue Wicks

It's not the style that motivates me, as much as an attitude of openness that I have when I go into a project.

Herbie Hancock

The place of chess in the society is closely related to the attitude of young people towards our game.

Boris Spassky

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.

Anne Hathaway

The jokes are great but what really matters for a comedian is his performance, his whole attitude, and the laughs that he gets between the jokes rather than on top of the jokes.

Jack Dee

There were a few teachers who just did not like me because of my face. Once, I was told to stand in the corner until I cheered up. The attitude was, 'Oh, for God's sake, what's the matter with him?' But it's just a natural expression.

Jack Dee

I'm just part of a tradition of people who aren't pleased. I would never think anyone else who has the same attitude was getting it from me. I'd just think they're... sensible.

Jack Dee

The key to life is your attitude. Whether you're single or married or have kids or don't have kids, it's how you look at your life, what you make of it. It's about making the best of your life wherever you are in life.

Candace Bushnell

If you get a diagnosis, get on a therapy, keep a good attitude and keep your sense of humor.

Teri Garr

When a woman puts on a heel, she has a different posture, a different attitude. She really stands up and has a consciousness of her body.

Christian Louboutin

Whenever I'm having a bad day and have an attitude, I stay home. I keep it at home.

Michael Clarke Duncan

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

Adriana Lima

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

Lita Ford

But Jesus changes your attitude towards yourself and towards other people.

Cliff Richard

But I think bands that rolled in with a big attitude, like they were some big deal, I just found that very strange.

Rob Zombie

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.

Christopher Isherwood

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

Eliza Dushku

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.

Steve Forbes

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.

William Lyon Mackenzie King

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

Seamus Heaney

Even if people do wrong, we're social animals, so what can we do about stopping them doing the same things in future? Saying people are 'bad' or 'evil' is just an unwillingness to engage an unwillingness to try to empathise. That sanctimonious attitude doesn't help anyone.

Denise Mina

People have often asked if I'm gay because I don't go out of my way to spit and scratch and give people attitude.

Jason Bateman

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.

Mike Judge

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

Joan Lunden

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.

Rufus Sewell

The U.S. tries to provide immigrants who grow up here with a world-class education and imbue them with the can-do attitude that has long defined American innovation.

Gary Locke

The attitude of independence toward a constructed language which all national speakers must adopt is really a great advantage, because it tends to make man see himself as the master of language instead of its obedient servant.

Edward Sapir

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.

Michael Chang

Art is the child of Nature yes, her darling child, in whom we trace the features of the mother's face, her aspect and her attitude.

Beck

I just think that people take me a little more seriously as a brunette. I don't know if that's just because of a societal preconceived notion that all blondes are stupid, but it's a different kind of attitude.

Kate Bosworth

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.

Neil Diamond

The purely agitation attitude is not good enough for a detailed consideration of a subject.

Michael Korda

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.

Emmylou Harris

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

Ludwig von Mises

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

Alain Prost

I just really think every job I do, I get this gypsy attitude to money.

Jessica Brown Findlay

My personal view is that such total planning by the state is an absolute good and not simply a relative good... I do not myself think of the attitude I take as deriving from Marx - though this undoubtedly will be suggested - but from Fichte and Hegel.

John Grierson

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.

Todd Phillips

The American attitude is 'We're the best'. That's why the NBA guys who come from other countries, the Europeans, all sort of stick together away from the game.

Andrew Bogut

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

Major Owens

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.

Sade Adu

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.

George H. Mead

The traditional Christian attitude toward human personality was that human nature was essentially good and that it was formed and modified by social pressures and training.

Carroll Quigley

My parents have a strong work ethic, but their attitude to life, their philosophy, is: 'whatever makes you happy.'

Sally Hawkins

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

Steve Buscemi

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

Mark Spitz

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.

Juliette Lewis

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.

Warwick Davis

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.

Donald Judd

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

Alan Perlis

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.

Donald Knuth

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.

Theodor Herzl

That attitude toward women as objects may have worked for the late Sixties, but it doesn't do so now.

John Schlesinger

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.

Charley Pride

I really believe you can predict when someone has a great attitude, a real well of talent.

Taylor Hackford

It is impossible to exaggerate the wide, and widening, gulf between the American attitude on the Iraq war and the view from our friends across the Atlantic.

Nick Clooney

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.

Dan Marino

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.'

Carson Daly

Time plays a role in almost every decision. And some decisions define your attitude about time.

John Cale

UFO's' attitude toward the subject is very similar to mine. It's not an advocacy its philosophy is more 'I want to believe this, but I want it proved.'

Dwight Schultz

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

Big Boi

But having said that, there's also a sea change in attitude towards media.

Robert McChesney

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.

Youssou N'Dour

Jazz in itself is not struggling. That is, the music itself is not struggling... It's the attitude that's in trouble. My plays insist that we should not forget or toss away our history.

August Wilson

As the time goes by, you change, your learn new things, your attitude is different. For the moment, I'm still enjoying ski racing so much that it would be difficult for me to think about ending my career.

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.

Hermann Maier

Our attitude is that we want to cross over. You can't go on making records just for your own hometown.

Cheryl James

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

Peter Mandelson

I think that the U.S. does have this very much more open attitude, and I admire it very much and I think it's very important to the world. But the information and the discussion sometimes come too late, after the effective decision has been made.

E. P. Thompson

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.

Mick Taylor

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.

Alex Campbell

If you're looking for can-do, earthy-crunchy attitude then you've got to go to Wisconsin.

Dar Williams

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.

John McGahern

You can have a laugh in Los Angeles, or you can weep in Los Angeles, depending on your attitude towards it.

Miranda Richardson

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.

Salman Khan

I just want to go in with the right attitude and from Day 1 make a difference.

Freddy Adu

The theatre only knows what it's doing next week, not like the opera, where they say: What are we going to do in five years' time? A completely different attitude.

Harrison Birtwistle

I'm not a music lover in the sense that I look for something to have on. I've never had that attitude to music.

Harrison Birtwistle

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.

Diane Wakoski

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.

Richard Dreyfuss

My mother, she had a very good attitude toward money. I'm very grateful for the fact that we had to learn to save. I used to get like 50 pence a week, and I'd save it for like five months. And then I'd spend it on Christmas presents. I'd save up like eight pounds. It's nothing, but we did that.

Gemma Arterton

Too many people say to their brokers, I can't deal with this. Take my money. Do what you want. That's the worst attitude you can have.

Maria Bartiromo

If philosophy is practice, a demand to know the manner in which its history is to be studied is entailed: a theoretical attitude toward it becomes real only in the living appropriation of its contents from the texts.

Karl Jaspers

I am shocked by the easy attitude of many in the media towards disclosing our Nation's secrets.

Todd Tiahrt

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.

Martina Hingis

I don't know that I have any role models now that are fixed. Definitely my mom - she's the coolest. She's worked really hard her whole life and I just think she's got a great attitude. Moms just know so much it's so silly.

Larisa Oleynik

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.

Joel Edgerton

Lead singers not only do the majority of the work, but their personalities are singled out and taken as the general attitude of the unit.

Martha Reeves

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

Lita Ford

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.

Nia Long

I kind of resent this attitude of men that we somehow must always look good.

Sharon Gless

Bambi can't act. Bambi had major attitude.

Treat Williams

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 do support a sex-positive attitude for young people. Use condoms, that's important. I love the idea that promiscuity can be healthy but it's got some dodgy crevasses. Ooh, that's a bad reference! But it's got some dangerous cavities there. You know what I'm saying.

Rachael Taylor

The war changed everybody's attitude. We became international almost overnight.

W. Averell Harriman

As I wrote, I found that Aibileen had some things to say that really weren't in her character. She was older, soft-spoken, and she started showing some attitude.

Kathryn Stockett

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.

Teddy Thompson

What a stupid attitude we have in this country to personal stories.

Amanda Burton

I have a Woody Allen Jewish attitude to life: that it's all going to be disastrous. That it hasn't all been that way is simply down to some random quirk of fate.

Antony Sher

My attitude toward graduate students was different, I must say. I used graduate students as colleagues: I gave them the best problems to work on, and I encouraged them.

Frank Press

Tommie Aaron taught me how to have a good attitude, to be easy going and not get uptight.

Dale Murphy

In aid, the proper attitude is one omitting gratitude.

Marya Mannes

In Scotland over many years we have cultivated through our justice system what I hope can be described as a 'culture of compassion.' On the other hand, there still exists in many parts of the U.S., if not nationally, an attitude towards the concept of justice which can only be described as a 'culture of vengeance.'

Keith O'Brien

Any time I need to get a serious attitude adjustment, I put on one of their records, and there are examples there for all time to keep us honest and keep us reaching they'll never be eclipsed.

Benny Green

I always had the attitude that I wanted to throw a no-hitter every game.

Dennis Eckersley

I like actors that are good with pantomime and that can transmit a lot by their presence and attitude more than through their dialogue.

Guillermo del Toro

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.

Imelda Staunton

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 Mclaren

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.

Malcolm Mclaren

Abhorrence of apartheid is a moral attitude, not a policy.

Edward Heath

Every baseball crowd, like every theatre audience, has its own distinctive attitude and atmosphere.

Bill Veeck

Football is my profession now. I'm getting married in August... It's a new experience for me as someone just getting out of college. I still have the same attitude about football I always had. I play hard. I enjoy practice. I'd rather be throwing in passing drills than sitting around and watching TV.

Doug Flutie

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

James Cromwell

Certain kinds of speed, flow, intensity, density of attacks, density of interaction... Music that concentrates on those qualities is, I think, easier achieved by free improvisation between people sharing a common attitude, a common language.

Evan Parker

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.

Michael Biehn

I've always been a guy who's pretty supportive, its just my nature, so I came in to the situation with the attitude that I wanted to support Johnny and make it work.

Rick Derringer

I thought I was going to be killed. The casualties were so heavy, it was just a given. I learned to take each day, each mission, as it came. That's an attitude I've carried into my professional life. I take each case, each job, as it comes.

Elliot Richardson

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.

Grandmaster Flash

Here you do have forests, where pigs could be raised by letting them root about in the forests for a good part of the year. Therefore, you have a different attitude toward them compared with what continues to exist in the Middle East.

Marvin Harris

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

Wilhelm Wundt

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.

Steve Wynn

We have become aware of the responsibility for our attitude towards the dark pages in our history. We have understood that bad service is done to the nation by those who are impelling to renounce that past.

Aleksander Kwasniewski

But I do think that we approach music, in of itself, with a religious attitude.

Jon Fishman

I think that generally music should be a positive thing, I like Bob Marley's attitude: he said that his goal in life was to single handedly fight all the evil in the world with nothing but music, and when he went to a place he didn't go to play, he went to conquer.

Jon Fishman

In 1977, at least, he wished to have people believe that he shared and was proud of an attitude toward women that is not acceptable in a politician. In 2003, all he has said is that he doesn't remember the interview.

Michael Kinsley

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.

Maurice Greene

So at a time in which the media give the public everything it wants and desires, maybe art should adopt a much more aggressive attitude towards the public. I myself am very much inclined to take this position.

Thom Mayne

Modern Orthodoxy has a highly positive attitude toward the State of Israel. Our Ultra-Orthodox brethren recognize only the Holy Land, but not the state.

Norman Lamm

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.

Tobey Maguire

I'm not going to take this defeatist attitude and listen to all this crap any more from all these people who have nothing except doomsday to predict.

Ted Lindsay

Before 'Gangnam Style' I was not a good attitude artist.

Charles Frazier

I don't think people are fools, and I think they deserve a good attitude and smart entertainment.

Tatyana Tolstaya

Hollywood's a very weird place. I think there's less of everything except for attitude.

Dean Cain

My agent says that I'm a 'repeat business guy.' If you hire me to come do a movie, I'll be on time, know all my material, be ready to go, have a good attitude. I'm here to work, so I get hired over and over again by the same producers. If you just be a team player on set you can work so much more often.

Dean Cain

What do you mean by faith? Is faith enough for Man? Should he be satisfied with faith alone? Is there no way of finding out the truth? Is the attitude of faith, of believing in something for which there can be no more than philosophic proof, the true mark of a Christian?

Clifford D. Simak

I still have a young attitude.

Pat Morita

Elvis Costello had a brand new bag. He was a musician, but he knew all about the attitude part of it.

Nick Lowe

The world is full of musicians who can play great, and you wouldn't cross the road to see them. It's people who have this indefinable attitude that are the good ones.

Martin C. Smith

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.

Allan Carr

We can do better in higher education. And it is more than just technology. It's also an attitude on the part of faculty. We need to think through how we can produce a better quality product at less cost.

Roy Romer

In terms of work I've always had a Bad Attitude in that I won't work anywhere which requires me to work strict hours or follow a dress code. I don't know if that's an Asperger's thing or not, I think it's just being reasonable.

Bram Cohen

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

With my talent, I can make people laugh and give them another attitude about life. What a blessing that is for me.

Doris Roberts

Pauline Neville-Jones

It got very tedious saying the same jokes in the same way with the same attitude.

David Sanborn

The townspeople outside the reservations had a very superior attitude toward Indians, which was kind of funny, because they weren't very wealthy they were on the fringes of society themselves.

James Welch

The money is in a different league these days, of course, but I have special memories of the 60s and 70s which players today don't have. There wasn't the same celebrity attitude and media exposure. We had a bit more freedom.

Peter Shilton

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.

James Woods

All ideas come about through some sort of observation. It sparks an attitude some object or emotion causes a reaction in the other person.

Graham Chapman

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.

Samantha Mumba

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

Roy Keane

I think it has other roots, has to do, in part, with a general anxiety in contemporary life... nuclear bombs, inequality of possibility and chance, inequality of goods allotted to us, a kind of general racist, unjust attitude that is pervasive.

Leonard Baskin

There has been a change in attitude, though.

Daniel Petrie

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.

Timothy F. Cahill

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.

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

Parker Posey

If I don't make the team out of spring training, I'll keep a good attitude. I'll just go polish up the parts of my game that made me not stay in the big leagues.

Cory Lidle

If a site is done with pleasure and a fun attitude, it's a great way to communicate with your fans.

Christopher Lambert

I know a lot of Eastern Europeans, and because of what they have been through and what they have seen, they have an attitude where they are not easily fooled.

Francine Prose

I always have one or two, sometimes more, Navajo or other tribes' cultural elements in mind when I start a plot. In Thief of Time, I wanted to make readers aware of Navajo attitude toward the dead, respect for burial sites.

Tony Hillerman

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

I came on to the film with a very happy-go-lucky attitude which I think my character, Charlie, did when she went into the house. I expected it to be good, and then slowly things started to change for us all.

Jennifer Sky

I have the same attitude with work - I like to go to work, I like to work really hard I, like to give everything my all, I like to try things that are new, you know.

There does not seem to be that collegiality I referred to, there seems to be much more of a them versus us attitude, rather than we all have a role to play in this process so let's get on with it.

Len G. Murray

I will not get very far with this attitude.

Nancy Cartwright

Turkey wants a policy of engagement exactly like President Obama's new approach. Policy of engagement, less confrontation, less tense attitude, especially in the region.

Our new attitude is how can we put you in front of our customer.

Terry Semel

Unfortunately, the attitude of many towards the press, humanitarians included and especially government workers, is often one of suspicion, if not outright fear.

Christie Brinkley

Nobody minded what you did in bed or what you said about God, a very civilized attitude in 1948.

Simon Raven

Jo Ann Emerson

Our spiritual attitude is determined by our conception of our relation to infinite spirit.

Paul Twitchell

It's really interesting with art-movies too, but art especially - to see how your attitude toward artists and works and your level of appreciation of them is always shifting and changing over the years.

Richard Hell

My opponents attitude is, 'If it moves, tax it, if it keeps moving, regulate it and when it stops, subsidize it.

Rob Simmons

The artist is not responsible to any one. His social role is asocial... his only responsibility consists in an attitude to the work he does.

Georg Baselitz

Scott Brown

You know, who cares about seeing the girls when everybody wants to see the band. That's what's important, KISS is important. I think we look great, and the attitude is there, and I'm real happy with it.

Eric Carr

Athletic competition clearly defines the unique power of our attitude.

Bart Starr

I'm going to try to enjoy the All-Star break, hope my players reflect on what happened the first half of the season, come back with a different attitude, try to find our solution on how to win it.

Don Baylor

Derek Bok

Its attitude, which it has preached and practiced, is skepticism. Now, it finds, the public is applying that skepticism to the press.

Thomas Griffith

Each experience through which we pass operates ultimately for our good. This is a correct attitude to adopt and we must be able to see it in that light.

Henry S. Haskins

When I drank, I had a very different attitude towards my playing. It was sloppier but I kind of liked it that way. It was like the alcohol was telling my mind what to do.

Mick Mars

I think we're in good hands. There's definitely much more momentum in bringing in good things to help support the show. Everyone's got a good attitude about it and I think that makes all the difference.

Crystal Chappell

That attitude does not exist so much today, but in those days there was a very sharp distinction between basic physics and applied physics. Columbia did not deal with applied physics.

Gordon Gould

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.

Jim Dine

The attitude of the people proves that not only do we want to, but that we can succeed in pulling our country out of the difficult position it finds itself in. The banking system of our country will survive and grow.

Vernon A. Walters

We will see that our new attitude toward liquor has been given to us without any thought or effort on our part. It just comes! That is the miracle of it.

Vic Snyder

My deepest impulses are optimistic, an attitude that seems to me as spiritually necessary and proper as it is intellectually suspect.

Ellen Willis

I also had a mistaken attitude towards certain comrades.

Bela Kun

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.'

Terrence Malick

Global political conditions make a direct American intervention difficult, but President Reagan's messianic and visceral attitude toward the Nicaraguan revolution could mean it will happen as an act of desperation.

Tomas Borge

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

Pim Fortuyn

Mental attitude and concentration are the keys to pitching.

Ferguson Jenkins

My first feeling about the paper and the attitude is that it is absurd.

Arthur Holly Compton

A discipline I have observed is an attitude of love and reverence to people.

Bessie Head

The attitude of the actor is his interpretation of what he reads, and the written word is what creates the role in the actor's mind, and I guess in reading the things that were given to me, I reacted as you guys saw me, you know.

Gene Barry

I can't believe the pro-choicers attitude toward unborn children-to me it's the ultimate liberal cause, to defend those without a voice.

Rebel Wilson
