That's really my goal now. I'm trying to be a positive role model to my kids and to just enjoy this ride because it's hard. It's hard to enjoy it when you're in it.

We work hard on the show. We really believe in the show. It's an enormous privilege to work on a show that has the power to touch people's lives in such a positive way. The fan mail and the e-mail certainly reflect that.

Kids go to school and college and get through but they don't seem to really care about using their minds. School doesn't have the kind of long term positive impact that it should.

It's nice to help remember somebody who really made a very positive difference in the world.

George W. Bush brought a lot of minorities into his administration which was a positive thing and they had some issues that they wanted to press but 9/11 really gave them direction. It gave them a purpose.

My parents leaving a third world country to a first world country and building from nothing - that's really inspiring to me and it's influenced me in a positive way.

Peter Ustinov was the first really positive influence in my career. He was real and he bore witness to it. The things he said to you he lived them.

I took some me time. I think that's a really important thing to do for yourself especially in this business. And now I feel like I'm in a really good positive place in my life.

The large ensemble cast and the fact that it was being shot in New York combined with a lot of strong positive images as far as African Americans are concerned really turned me on to The Best Man.

The result is - document destruction - we're really not going to be able to prove beyond a truth the negatives and some of the positive conclusions that we're going to come to. There will be always unresolved ambiguity here.

I think sometimes in life we want to ignore the problems of society and just think about the good. I believe in positive thinking and affirmative living I also think it's really important to remember all of our disenfranchised members of society.

When the going got tough I really had to draw on many of the same competitive instincts I did when I was skating. I really had to put my head down and stay positive. I had to fight.

The only way that we're going to feel secure in this country again and that we're going to feel good about ourselves is if we use these systems we've put into place to create positive change around the world. I really believe we can do that.

The world is really figuring BSE out and that's positive.

Since I've been in Playboy myself in Australia I love it and I think it's really empowering and positive towards women which is not a view that many women hold.

When you come off something really disappointing you want to come back and kind of regroup and get involved in something positive right away.

If you look just at the decades after 1934 you know it's hard to point to really inspired and positive support from outside of Haiti to Haiti and much easier to point to either small-minded or downright mean-spirited policies.

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.

It comes down to building your own world out here on the road. It's who you surround yourself with. My band and crew are really positive guys.

Constructive criticism is about finding something good and positive to soften the blow to the real critique of what really went on.

You know I think that going into therapy is a very positive thing and talking about it is really helpful because the more you talk the more your fears fade because you get it out.

I turned 54 this year and I find myself feeling like I'm in a bit of a race to get down on paper the way I really feel about life - or the way it has presented to me. And because it has presented to me very beautifully this is hard. It is technically very hard to show positive manifestations.

I had a really bad temper when I was growing up. Sport helped me channel that temper into more positive acts.

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.
