I personally don't think of myself as either an optimist or a pessimist.

I'm not a pessimist at all, but I'm not an optimist, either.

I'm a serious optimist. I come from a country where you have little to be hopeful for, and so you have to always be an optimist.

I'm not an optimist. I'm a realist. And my reality is that we live in a multifaceted, multicultural world. And maybe once we stop labeling ourselves, then maybe everyone else will.

I'm naturally an optimist, but my basis for hope is rooted in my understanding of human nature.

I think you have an obligation to be an optimist. Because if you're not, nothing will change.

I am not an optimist. I'm a very serious possibilist. It's a new category where we take emotion apart and we just work analytically with the world.
