I would like to do something dark or small. I love independent films. I love emotional scenes. I love people who are struggling with something. I think it's just the juxtaposition to my incredibly happy positive demeanor.

It's a problem for him because he's got - like Edward VII had - nearly all his lifetime to wait until he becomes Monarch. What is he going to do with it? So he wants to do something positive but he always courts those dangers.

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

I had to come from something come from a place that was negative and positive but the majority of it is a negative place.

I think I make films to help bolster and feed the part of me that wants to remain in a positive relationship with the world and to engage in it. So hopefully in non-sentimental ways I'm trying to make something that helps make me happy.

No matter who you meet in life you take something from them positive or negative.

I think people in Botswana are pleased that my books paint a positive picture of their lives and portray the country as being very special. They've made a great success of their country and the people are fed up with the constant reporting of only the problems and poverty of the continent. They welcome something which puts the positive side.

At the end of the day the question comes what are you doing for the world? You have to try to do something that's going to add something positive.

I've noticed that my resolutions involve me not doing stuff that I wasn't going to do anyway so here's something more positive. I'm going to retrain as a Latin teacher in a provincial public school.

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