I think the rise of China is one of the great events of all economic and human history and I think this will be overwhelmingly a positive thing for the region and the world.

I mean you know I get a tremendous positive charge every day just from knowing these kids and who they are. I mean Larry my 12-year-old son is my hero in life. Could there be a greater privilege than that? I mean I can't imagine anything that would be more exciting.

A guy as great as Brett Favre has been for the length of time he's been you would hope that he would be able to leave the game with a positive flavor in his mouth.

They welcome something which puts the positive side.

I want people to use Perl. I want to be a positive ingredient of the world and make my American history. So whatever it takes to give away my software and get it used that's great.

I just want to put some positive stuff out there. If it works great. If it doesn't no problem.

I think positive. I always think we're going to score. Two minutes is a lot of time if you have timeouts and you're throwing every down. You have to make the right decisions. I've always had great receivers which helps. It's not just me doing it.

You know rock stardom... I have a hard time discussing that because I don't really accept it. It's not really that tangible.
