I was very pleased that the positive things about me and my game outshone the aggressive style of play I use. I would never tone that down because I believe in that style of play and I believe that you can play rough on the court and still be a good sport.

The wonderful Mozambican people have endured tremendous misery without losing their dignity and their positive outlook on life. Moreover they have not lost their will to progress and develop. Mozambique is a country where the people never surrendered.

My Botswana books are positive and I've never really sought to deny that. They are positive. They present a very positive picture of the country. And I think that that is perfectly defensible given that there is so much written about Africa which is entirely negative.

I have never won a race and that is my main disappointment - but you have to be positive.

Don't give up be positive and if you know someone who knows someone at a record company don't stop beating down their door till you get heard. Don't ever say it'll never happen or it'll never happen.

I had never had a positive leading character - somebody that wasn't an antihero or who wasn't more of a guy that you're supposed to be on the side of.

I think we all suffer from guilt at some point in our lives but for the most part I never really regret and I try to always remain positive. Yes I think that those issues are very interesting to play in a character and they're prominent issues in life and I think people can relate to them.

You hear certain things negative things all the time that aren't true but you never hear about the positive.

Getting sober just exploded my life. Now I have a much clearer sense of myself and what I can and can't do. I am more successful than I have ever been. I feel very positive where I never did before and I think that's all a direct result of getting sober.

I never appreciated 'positive heroes' in literature. They are almost always cliches copies of copies until the model is exhausted. I prefer perplexity doubt uncertainty not just because it provides a more 'productive' literary raw material but because that is the way we humans really are.

Perhaps one of the only positive pieces of advice that I was ever given was that supplied by an old courtier who observed: Only two rules really count. Never miss an opportunity to relieve yourself never miss a chance to sit down and rest your feet.

Some people never contribute anything positive to society they may even drain our resources but most of us try to do something better to give back.

I never let my politics supersede my manners.

When you come from desperate poverty and that's exactly what I come from you know that nonsenses are not to be tolerated. I'm not sure who gains from chaos but I know it's not the poor folks in the council flats. The politics of vindictiveness is never ever anything like a solution.

You never know what'll happen in politics.

Every week I read about myself in a magazine about something that I haven't done or some place that I've never been or don't even know. It's just gossip rumors egos and politics.

Macroeconomic policy can never be devoid of politics: it involves fundamental trade-offs and affects different groups differently.

I've done reasonably well over the last 10 years because I took the strategy of language and politics and applied it to the corporate world which has never been done before.

There's people coming in who've never done any politics at all who've never been in a trade union they've never been in a political party they've never done anything but they do feel a kind of urgency.

I'm not very active politically. The causes I work on offer immediate practical accessible help and politics has never meant that to me.

I never saw anything funnier than Texas politics.

You should never ask actors about politics.

Whenever you discuss politics it is always better to use individual names rather then the term neocon.

Yeah exactly you can talk about politics in music you can talk about something else but that's always going to change and love is never going to change.
