My grandmother was always upbeat, a naturally happy person. I think I got that from her.

I'm a very upbeat, positive, optimistic type of person.

Upbeat is for people who want to feel good about their cause: the reformers, the progressives, the revolutionaries, the utopians, the collectivists, and the rest of the altruistic scum of the earth. Why do these people want to feel good? They want to feel good in order to convince themselves that they are good.

I think I'm generally an upbeat person. Obviously I can get moody, but my whole philosophy is to try and have a good time.

Always upbeat, always happy, always putting you in a good mood. That's what I want to achieve with my music.

I like being upbeat, positive, happy, enjoying family.

So even though I consider myself a fairly upbeat person, energetic and things like that, I never do very well on happiness tests.

Although I'm perceived as very optimistic and upbeat, it comes out of being the opposite of that - feeling isolated or lonely, looking for meaning and the kinds of things that ease that suffering in life, and finding them in large-scale social interaction, like theater and games.

I find sadness and strife to be so much more interesting with an upbeat melody.

Happiness is not a matter of intensity but of balance, order, rhythm and harmony.
