I felt like we should all embrace it.’ – Phife Dawg

‘Livelihoods and whole communities throughout the Murray-Darling Basin have been imperilled by the workings of drought, fire, flood, acid mud and human action over many decades.

‘Regardless of the gender of the highest wage earner, the balance of power in the relationship will suffer if the higher earner uses control of the purse strings as a system of reward and punishment.

As our taste for idling grows, we will refuse to work for old-fashioned bosses who demand a five-day, 40-hour, nine-to-five type week, or worse.’ – Tom Hodgkinson

‘Every child’s taste is different. Don’t worry if they’re not reading ‘War and Peace’ at age 12.

They are a wealth of information on finding books that kids enjoy.’ – Rick Riordan

‘America needs to understand Islam, because this is the one religion that erases from its society the race problem.

‘One’s appearance bespeaks dignity corresponding to the depth of his character.

Such outward appearance, in short, comes from constant attentiveness and seriousness.’ – Yamamoto Tsunetomo

‘You get tough when you grow up unloved. People described me as a boyish girl – rather shy, but I didn’t show it. I had an attitude. I was rather wild.

‘As a child, I was aware of the widely-held attitude that the ocean is so big, so resilient that we could use the sea as the ultimate place to dispose of anything we did not want, from garbage and nuclear wastes to sludge from sewage to entire ships that had reached the end of their useful life.’ – Sylvia Earle

‘Donald Evans is a favorite person of mine. His worth ethic, his attitude and his dedication really set him apart.’ – Joe Greene

I think that attitude is really crucial for a model.’ – Emily Ratajkowski

‘Part of the punk attitude was that you should project your music through your whole body… show your personality as much as possible.’ – Billy Idol

‘I love festivals because they seem like more of an artsy, supportive attitude – which benefits a more theatrical performer sometimes with having theater and other non-club venues, as well as the audience being filled with other artists. It’s nice to be with other comics, as usually at other road gigs, I’m solo for the most part.’ – Maria Bamford

‘When you are developing your style, you avoid weaknesses. I am not good at describing things, so I stay away from it.

‘I have had the view that cutting wages is not the path to prosperity, and one of the great myths propagated about my attitude to industrial relations is that I believe in lower wages.

‘When I first started writing songs and being very explicit, it was hard, but one of the main things people respond to in my writing is that ‘just say it’ attitude of my songs.

‘Have you seen some of the women – and the men – in Los Angeles? They pay surgeons to make them look completely different in the hope of finding their youth. But youth comes from within. If you have a young attitude, then that can show in your face, the way you walk and move.’ – Kim Cattrall

‘I know that, for me, I need to try to cover myself while breastfeeding so that no one snaps a picture. If this wasn’t the case, I probably wouldn’t mind as much because my son is my biggest concern.

Make some sense of it.’ – Henry Rollins

‘From the beginning, I’ve always had a knack for catchy melodies. But I went through a period when I was trying to be rock n’ roll and have a rock n’ roll attitude.

‘Neapolitans are extremely empathetic, whereas the typical northern attitude is more about not showing or sharing your feelings.’ – Toni Servillo

I always say – have an attitude of gratitude.’ – Sonam Kapoor

‘I am a Piscean, and they have a lovingly detached attitude towards life.’ – Shahid Kapoor

It would certainly prove that we weren’t all bad!’ – Mariella Frostrup

‘Everyone has attitude, and I think everyone should have attitude. But I know I have attitude, but that’s just, I think if you don’t have attitude, it comes only with self confidence.

But after a while, I saw it wasn’t possible to accept it, and I also didn’t want to.’ – Ruth Prawer Jhabvala

‘I can remember that on the shelves at home, there were these books by Thomas Wolfe. ‘Look Homeward Angel’ and ‘Of Time and the River.’ ‘Of Time and the River’ had just come out when I was aware of his name. My parents had a hard time convincing me that he was no kin whatsoever. My attitude was, ‘Well, what’s he doing on the shelf, then?” – Tom Wolfe

‘If wearing the Spanx helps you get looks, and you feel that energy and response, and you’re rocking your body with confidence, that’s still how you’ll feel about yourself when you get home and take the Spanx off… If your attitude improves from the Spanx, wear the Spanx!’ – Lisa Ann Walter

‘I love Jonathan Richman – I love a lot of his music, and the thing I really like about him is his attitude. He seems very happy, and the way he performs is like, ‘Don’t worry, everybody, just get into it. I’m just having fun; I like when you guys are having fun.” – Mac DeMarco

‘I did standup for a lot of years, too, but when you come out as a standup, you get the feeling from a crowd – it’s a kind of a ‘make me laugh’ attitude. But when you come out as an improvisor, they realize that they’re suggesting everything you do. So they’re already invested in the scene, and they actually want it to work.’ – Ryan Stiles

‘I was never a glamour puss whose career was really based on a look or an attitude. I’ve been basically playing the same parts I am at 55 that I was at 35. I get cast as strong women, and that can be a mother or a judge or anything.’ – Jane Kaczmarek

‘Gemmell’s name guarantees a satisfying story and a thumping good read. I recommend all his heroic creations – ‘Druss the axeman,’ ‘the Jerusalem man,’ among others – but my favourite has to be ‘Waylander’: Clint Eastwood with a crossbow and the same ‘Make my day, punk’ attitude.’ – Neal Asher

‘Audiences like me doing action and comedy. I am a jovial person and have been so from childhood. I like to laugh my way through my work, and that attitude reflects in my roles. Even women hate me doing rona-dhona roles. So I don’t do emotional films.’ – Ravi Teja

‘I was stupid when I started: the epitome of bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. It was like, ‘I get to live in L.A. and drive around in limos? Really?’ I didn’t realize I was owned. The more money gets pumped into you, the more you become a marionette. It made me a true redneck in attitude: I never wanted to wake up ever again feeling owned.’ – Al Jourgensen

‘The old university attitude of ‘publish or perish’ has changed. Students and academics are realising that institutions such as Imperial College are also wealth-generators. It is very satisfying to be in a university where you have the freedom to innovate and yet know that there is a path to translate your work into industry.’ – Chris Toumazou

I said, ‘Oh, well – in that case, I’ll be right there!” – Esther Rolle
