It seems that other parts of the world ought to be concerned about what we think of them instead of what they think of us.

No, we don’t control who our parents are. We don’t control what color we are. We don’t control what home we are born into. But we control our attitude. We control our work ethic. We control our drive and our commitment.

My brother was a huge Charles Barkley fan – my brother went to Miami. He played power forward, and he always used to tell me stories about Barkley and college. And I watched Barkley growing up. I loved what he brought to the game. His toughness and just his attitude, being as strong he was.
Our future cannot depend on the government alone. The ultimate solutions lie in the attitudes and the actions of the American people.

In philanthropy, you have to take the attitude of a mother… You have to be patient, and we have been very patient for a long time.
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.
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. I’ve never believed in lower wages. Never. Never believed in lower wages, I’ve never believed in lower wages as an economic instrument.
I am more interested in people’s attitude than someone who is a perfect face. Every time I walk the streets of London, I see someone who interests me. It doesn’t matter how old they are.

The attitude and identity that we want to play with doesn’t change.
Could we change our attitude, we should not only see life differently, but life itself would come to be different.
At first, I found the music I was making really hard to find a home for. I felt like my attitude was really British, but not the actual sounds I was making. Back in 2003, when I made ‘Galang,’ there were no clubs that had an ‘anything and everything’ attitude.
When you’re walking at the airport, you’re expected to smile at people because they know you… I find that tough. I’m only trying to protect myself. So I don’t take my eyes off the floor.

Some people say I have attitude – maybe I do… but I think you have to. You have to believe in yourself when no one else does – that makes you a winner right there.

I think my attitude has always been to put food on the table.

My attitude is that if you push me towards something that you think is a weakness, then I will turn that perceived weakness into a strength.
On ‘Van Halen,’ I was a young punk, and everything revolved around the fastest kid in town, gunslinger attitude. But I’d say that at the time of ‘Fair Warning,’ I started concentrating more on songwriting. But I guess in most people’s minds I’m just a gunslinger.
