A Quote by Bruce Springsteen

You've always got to remember, rock and roll's never been about giving up. For me, for a lot of kids, it was a totally positive force... not optimistic all the time, but positive. It was never--never--a bout surrender.

I've always been a positive, optimistic person who loves life, and I've got a lot to be positive about.

Samantha Barks

I am always amazed at how many guys in the NBA have never met an owner much less ever been to an owner's house. We bought the team so that we would be able to be a positive force, so that they in turn would be a positive force to young people everywhere.

Richard DeVos

I have never been accepted. I'll never make the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They're never going to let me in.

Nancy Sinatra

To tell you the truth, the nomination for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame totally surprised me. I had no idea that was coming. I know a lot of people like to say it's enough just to be nominated. But I've been nominated for so many things, I'd like to get this one. I think it's a long shot, considering I never had a No. 1 rock n' roll record.

John Prine

Detroit has always been a rock and roll audience for me and picked up on me and my performances long before a lot of other places in the country. I will never forget that. It's a home away from home. I love it.

Peter Frampton

I'm always giving out such a positive message that I never really get attacked. There's not much you can attack me for.

Joe Wicks

I really just think that we've got to have a positive influence on kids in general. And really understanding people are going to look up to me, so why aren't I doing something to be positive about it?

Anthony Rendon

My Botswana books are positive, and I've never really sought to deny that. They are positive. They present a very positive picture of the country. And I think that that is perfectly defensible given that there is so much written about Africa which is entirely negative.

Alexander McCall Smith

When people talk about the '60s I never think that was me there. It was me and I was in it, but I was never enamoured with all that. It's supposed to be sex and drugs and rock and roll and I'm not really like that. I've never really seen the Rolling Stones as anything.

Charlie Watts

I've always been pretty vocal to my teammates. I'm really positive and optimistic. Positive enforcement - I feel like throwing that energy into the air is big.

Jrue Holiday

I am blood type O-positive, which I remember by staying 'optimistic positive.'

Michael Weatherly

It's silly to me to not be positive about rock advancing and growing. Really, we just want rock n' roll to be mainstream.

John Gourley

I am very optimistic, and I always think positive, but within reason and never getting too far ahead of the game.

Luis Fonsi

No matter what though, there's always rock & roll. There's rock 'n' roll in hip-hop, there's rock & roll in pop music, there's rock 'n' roll in soul, there's rock 'n' roll in country. When you see people dress and their style has an edge to it, that rebellious edge that bubbles up in every genre, that's rock & roll. Everybody still wants to be a rock star.
