We made happy sounds because we were upset... just trying to make a positive situation out of a negative one.

The reason most of the children are having problems in any inner-city neighborhood is because they don't see enough positive role models in their own environment.

I have long been a supporter of the Head Start program because each and every year I witness the dramatic positive impact that early intervention services have on children's lives in my congressional district.

Nobody could've ever known I was positive because I didn't know.

But nobody is listening to those points. They are just listening to the gossip which is saying that I knew I was positive for all these years because I had a faked test a few years ago.

Your best creative assets do not occur unless you do a mental shift. You have to be in a positive frame of mind because inspiration is fleeting. I walk to work for inspiration and to clear my mind.

When I was campaigning I told the people if nothing happens under my mandate it will still be a positive thing because my mandate will be used as a rupture between the past and the future.

I just hope it grows into where it was before because I want my son to see it. I want him to have a positive memory of it going forward so he can be proud of his daddy.

That's really my goal now. I'm trying to be a positive role model to my kids and to just enjoy this ride because it's hard. It's hard to enjoy it when you're in it.

I have great friends around me that are positive and I think that's the key to life is making your own path. Set your own rules because there is no set rule there is no set look there is no set anything. You make your own rules in your life. You make your own decisions.
