Attitude

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 youre not a very indulgent actor you spend a lot of time thinking about yourself. I dont think that is particularly healthy. – Imelda Staunton

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

Football is my profession now. Im getting married in August… Its 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. Id rather be throwing in passing drills than sitting around and watching TV. – Doug Flutie

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? Thats the scene that changed my life by changing my attitude about acting. – Michael Biehn

Ive always been a guy whos 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. Thats an attitude Ive 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 dont listen to demos of diverse subject matters. Theyre looking for demos like the record the guy on the left just did. – Grandmaster Flash

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

I think that generally music should be a positive thing, I like Bob Marleys 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 didnt 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 doesnt remember the interview. – Michael Kinsley

Youd 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

I just try to try to keep an attitude that I dont know what Im doing. Not to the point where Im 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

Im 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. – Carroll Shelby

Before Gangnam Style I was not a good attitude artist. – PSY

Women didnt want to be on the stage with other women because they didnt want their bodies to be compared. They didnt want another female act opening for them because of this weird competitive and tokenistic attitude. – Kathleen Hanna

Listen, whatever makes the movie better. Thats the attitude you have to have. – Joseph Kosinski

I dont think people are fools, and I think they deserve a good attitude and smart entertainment. – Tatyana Tolstaya

Hollywoods a very weird place. I think theres less of everything except for attitude. – Dean Cain

My agent says that Im a repeat business guy. If you hire me to come do a movie, Ill be on time, know all my material, be ready to go, have a good attitude. Im 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
