I think to take your shirt off, you need to have a great body and more than that, confidence and attitude. It’s all related. A great body equals confidence, and confidence equals attitude. And when you put all three together, you get a Salman Khan! And that’s not me. – Riteish Deshmukh
We now occupy the proud attitude of a sovereign and independent Republic, which will impose upon us the obligation of evincing to the world that we are worthy to be free.

First, I was so dazzled and besotted by India. People said the poverty was biblical, and I’m afraid that was my attitude, too.

But after a while, I saw it wasn’t possible to accept it, and I also didn’t want to. – Ruth Prawer Jhabvala
I don’t want to take the escalators. Give me the stairs that have the dips and the two old ladies that are blocking it and they’ve got an attitude, and they don’t want you to go past them. – RJ Cyler
I do not share the half-in, half-out attitude to the EU of some in Britain. Britain’s place is in Europe. – Peter Mandelson

Somehow, the greater the public opposition to the health care bill, the more determined they seem to force it on us anyway.

Music is the way I understand how to communicate now, the way that I’ve learned how to communicate… but it will eventually have to go beyond that. You see, I’ve realised that music is not what keeps people involved – it’s the attitude behind the music. – Todd Rundgren

Mainly what I learned from Buddy… was an attitude. He loved music, and he taught me that it shouldn’t have any barriers to it. – Waylon Jennings
Sales are contingent upon the attitude of the salesman – not the attitude of the prospect. – W. Clement Stone
I just try to try to keep an attitude that I don’t know what I’m doing. Not to the point where I’m beating myself up, but I just go in thinking that I have a lot to learn. And I hope I still have that attitude 30 years from now. – Tobey Maguire

An American orchestra doesn’t want to play more than it has to. I respectfully disagree with that attitude. – Zubin Mehta
I’d love to look like my mum when I am her age. She taught ballet for years, and my attitude to exercise and fitness has definitely been influenced by her. She’s 84 now, and I’ve watched how well she has aged, and a lot of that is to do with her fantastic posture. – Sarah Parish
Americans have always had an ambivalent attitude toward intelligence. When they feel threatened, they want a lot of it, and when they don’t, they regard the whole thing as somewhat immoral. – Vernon A. Walters
Certain thoughts are prayers. There are moments when, whatever be the attitude of the body, the soul is on its knees. – Victor Hugo
The attitude that poetry should not be analyzed is prevalent among many who consider themselves experts on children’s literature. But I suspected that kids like to look closely at things and figure out what makes them go. – X. J. Kennedy
