The characteristic political attitude of today is not one of positive belief, but of despair. – Herbert Read
I think people feel threatened by homosexuality. The problem isn’t about gay people, the problem is about the attitude towards gay people. People think that all gays are Hannibal Lecters.

A man can be 43, and people will say, ‘Oh, he’s a cool bachelor, and he just hasn’t settled down,’ but with a woman, it’s, ‘Oh, she must have really wanted to get married, but she didn’t.’ I honestly think that attitude is a little bit sexist. – Heather Graham
The theatre only knows what it’s doing next week, not like the opera, where they say: What are we going to do in five years’ time? A completely different attitude. – Harrison Birtwistle
My attitude to writing is like when you do wallpapering, you remember where all the little bits are that don’t meet. And then your friends say: It’s terrific! – Harrison Birtwistle

I trained as a journalist in America where paying sources is frowned upon. Now I work in the U.K. where there is a more flexible attitude. – Heather Brooke
We need an attitude of defiance, not an attitude of cowardice. Out in the street, that’s how we are winning against the TransCanada Pipeline. This is how we have delayed the Trans-Pacific Partnership and forced it into an election season, gotten everybody to stand against it. Democracy is not about surrender. – Jill Stein
‘Communication Breakdown’ – it was punchy and direct, with a real attitude that was different to other bands going around. – Jimmy Page

My attitude goes back to my childhood. I used to audition for theatrical roles, and you can’t stand out in a room full of ambitious eight-year-old girls by acting the wallflower. I realised then that I couldn’t do things half-heartedly. – Jessie J
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.

I’ve had to listen to candidates tell me they are the most wonderful thing since the invention of sliced bread, and it bores me to death. It also makes me doubt that they are actually any good at all – plus it’s an attitude that would never fly in the culture I’ve created in my company. – John Rampton
