I wake up early. At 6:30 A.M., I'm at my most optimistic.

It's more in my nature to be optimistic, I think. I'm one of those people who gets up on the right side of the bed in the morning.

When I look at the world I'm pessimistic, but when I look at people I am optimistic.

I'm sort of a pessimist about tomorrow and an optimist about the day after tomorrow.

I'm a generally optimistic person.

I have friends who are very pessimistic. They say you can't possibly be an optimist nowadays. But I think, taking the longer view, you can still be as optimistic as you want.

I'm an optimistic person.

I tend to be pessimistic about everything: If things seem to be going good, I'm worried that it's going to end; if things are bad, then I'm worried that it's going to be permanent. It's not a very comfortable attitude to have all the time.

I don't consider myself a pessimist. I think of a pessimist as someone who is waiting for it to rain. And I feel soaked to the skin.
