Music and songs are written at different periods of time at different times in your life. They reflect the feelings you have and to be honest I quite like having positive emotions.

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.

Sometimes a good love song can change the world and create positive energy more than any political song can.

One thing that hasn't changed though is that we still have to hear the new ad 2 or 3 times before it begins to affect us even when we're already familiar with the advertiser in question and have a positive opinion of them.

Sometimes you're not even sure which of your stories were failures. There are things I've written that I thought were complete catastrophes when I finished with them that have gone on to generate some of my most positive feedback.

I had many teachers that were great positive role models and taught me to be a good person and stand up and be a good man. A lot of the principals they taught me still affect how I act sometimes and it's 30 years later.

Everyone in L.A. is very positive and upbeat whereas London can get quite miserable at times.

What I really like is an intelligent review. It doesn't have to be positive. A review that has some kind of insight and sometimes people say something that's startling or is so poignant.

Frustration although quite painful at times is a very positive and essential part of success.

Sometimes the most positive thing you can be in a boring society is absolutely negative.
