Any time I need to get a serious attitude adjustment I put on one of their records and there are examples there for all time to keep us honest and keep us reaching they'll never be eclipsed.

In Scotland over many years we have cultivated through our justice system what I hope can be described as a 'culture of compassion.' On the other hand there still exists in many parts of the U.S. if not nationally an attitude towards the concept of justice which can only be described as a 'culture of vengeance.'

I do support a sex-positive attitude for young people. Use condoms that's important. I love the idea that promiscuity can be healthy but it's got some dodgy crevasses. Ooh that's a bad reference! But it's got some dangerous cavities there. You know what I'm saying.

When you Google me you'll find a lot of people don't like Richard Dreyfuss. Because I'm cocky and I present a cocky attitude. But no one has ever disagreed with the notion I represent that we need more civic education. So far there's 100 percent support for that.

People are patronizing the theatres with renewed enthusiasm - there is an entire picnic-like attitude when families go out to see movies which is a very good sign. They want to see larger-than-life characters on the big screen and not just watch movies on television or on DVDs.

When I was in my 20s it did occur to me that there was something perverted about an attitude that thought that killing somebody was a minor offence compared to kissing somebody.

But having said that there's also a sea change in attitude towards media.

There's a punk-rock attitude clearly to 'Hated.' There's even a punk-rock attitude to 'The Hangover ' I think. We start the movie with a Glenn Danzig song.

I feel like I have as good a shot as anybody out there and I have gotten close in the past so why not have the attitude that I can come out and play great tennis and maybe even win this tournament.

At home in Ireland there's a habit of avoidance an ironical attitude towards the authority figure.
