In my books and in romance as a genre there is a positive uplifting feeling that leaves the reader with a sense of encouragement and hope for a brighter future - or a brighter present.

He is a very positive captain he is proactive as well as reactive. He is keen to read the game to get in there and he never stops thinking about the game the situation and trying to turn it to his advantage. He has been very good for the game.

It gets kinda monotonous but that's television. There are plus sides and down sides. The positive side is that you have steady work for nine months of the year for however many years your show is on TV .

In the case of Iraq notwithstanding the violence there at the moment the very fact that a hideous regime - responsible for genocide for the use of chemical and biological weapons aggression against two neighbors - has been removed in itself is a positive development.

I am a happy person and I choose to be a positive person. I think some people think my life has been tragic and there have been these horrible dramas but things really have been and are fine.

I truly believe that everything that we do and everyone that we meet is put in our path for a purpose. There are no accidents we're all teachers - if we're willing to pay attention to the lessons we learn trust our positive instincts and not be afraid to take risks or wait for some miracle to come knocking at our door.

There is a positive and personal relationship between the Egyptian people and the Syrian people.

I did the whole rock and roll thing that's coming up. I think you're going to enjoy that! 'Burt Rocks' it's called. I like that he's a dreamer I like how positive he is. There's a lot of things I think I can learn from Burt.

There's a lot of peer pressure to not do positive stories out of Iraq... I think there's a sense that the administration got a pass during the hot days of war and now that the war is over it's time to even out the deck somewhat.

There's been a slow death in a way. On the positive side there are films getting into the Academy Awards that wouldn't have but on the negative side financiers are now dominant and making all the decisions. I can't count the ways a director's vision is compromised.
