Matt Czuchry"I have moments where I feel incredibly ugly or fat, and it sucks, you know? I'll usually try to keep a positive attitude because I'm really so grateful for where I am and the life I get to live, but I definitely have to work hard not to feel insecure."

Linda McMahon"When you think positively, you attract positive people. If I'm on a mission to be successful, and I'm positive all the time, then more positive people will come around me, and we'll help each other. If you're negative, you'll find yourself surrounded by negative people."

Anthony Carmona"I have certain things that I stand for, certain things that I believe in, and if you don't like it and you tell me to go to hell, I think that's your God-given right as a fan.

Feist"There is something in even the darkest situations that we can make a positive in our lives."
Deborah Norville"Positive energy is meant to give people confidence and hope, encourage people to love their country, society and life, as well as to pursue nice things. Everything we do is ultimately for the sake of spreading positive energy."
Lu Wei"I'm a very positive person, but this whole concept of having to always be nice, always smiling, always happy, that's not real. It was like I was wearing a mask. I was becoming this perfectly chiselled sculpture, and that was bad. That took a long time to understand."

Afrika Bambaataa"I'm living on this positive mind frame where I'm only attracting positive things. I'm controlling my energy, I'm eating right, I'm meditating, I'm in the gym, I'm doing all this stuff I'm supposed to be doing. I'm past that young, immature way of thinking. I just want to be great."

T. D. Jakes"And to me, fame is not a positive thing. The idea of being famous is a lot better than the reality. It's fantastic when you go to premieres and people cheer you, but it's not real. And it's totally not my approach to get my name on a club door just because I can."
Tom Felton"Men are liars. We'll lie about lying if we have to. I'm an algebra liar. I figure two good lies make a positive."

Amaal Mallik"Positive psychology is not remotely intended to replace therapy or pharmacology.

Alain Ducasse"Much of a leader's responsibility in creating a positive, high-performance culture is setting the right tone and acting on it consistently.

Ron Williams"Women watch and say, 'I like watching you control your own space. It's motivated me to do better, to go back to college, to even try law school.

Judy Sheindlin"I try to be positive, and from 'Individual'... which was an angry record.
