In order to spur progress, we all need to be people who point out and shine a spotlight on racism wherever we see it. It doesn't always have to be confrontational, but it does need to become the societal norm that racism is identified and not tolerated in any form or fashion.

Joe Thomas

For me, everybody is the same. If you are not nice to me, I will say, 'Okay, we will try to make it nice tomorrow.' I am like that. I am not a confrontational person.

Adnan Sami

You Will Very

I had my moments for sure but I wasn't confrontational. And sometimes you get on the court and you'd find yourself very confrontational. It was all a discovery.

Andre Agassi

Time Mom Men

I'm not a confrontational person in real life, so I really don't wanna get into arguments or fistfights with people I'm making fun of.

Andy Kindler

Men Life Wit

I make spaces that are calm rather than confrontational. I seek a certain kind of logic that allows you to move in space and perceive it as beautiful and rational. Clarity is a worthwhile quality.

Annabelle Selldorf

Space Design You

As an FBI agent, you don't want to go in there gangbusters and confrontational. You are going to get a lot more information if you put the subject at ease and allow them to talk.

Asha Rangappa

Age You Want

People keep saying I've changed. I used to be confrontational. But I'm - I haven't changed. It was - it's just that circumstances have changed.

Aung San Suu Kyi

Change Yin Used

I feel more comfortable being confrontational and authoritative. It's important for women in this business.

Banks

Women Men Business

My mother's not a political person. She just doesn't want me to be mean... sometimes I have to be mean. It's like a parent or a teacher. Sometimes for the good of everybody you have to be a little bit strong, a little bit confrontational.

Bill O'Reilly

Time Teacher Good

But we wanted to work in a way we never had, which was write everything together. We had to face each other in the same creative room, which gets tougher as you get older, because you don't want to be confrontational.

Bruce McCulloch

Work You Write

I bring values, resiliency, a thick skin, and I'm not afraid to be confrontational. I don't remember anyone before bringing that to the table.

Carl Paladino

I'm only confrontational with my friends.

Chuck Palahniuk

Wit T Only

I'm actually very timid and nonconfrontational.

I'm a non-confrontational person. If I order salmon and I get chicken, I'm going to eat the chicken.

Danny Pudi

Umpires are supposed to be non-confrontational - they're supposed to uphold the peace on the baseball field.

Dave Martinez

Peace Up Umpire

I was very aware of office politics because I was so baffled by them. So much so goes unsaid. No one says 'you're a cheeky so-and-so,' no one says 'you're so moody,' nobody ever confronts anyone else about anything. But I'm very crass, and I'm very confrontational, and I have a temper. I had to be hyper-vigilant in every office I worked in.

Denise Mina

We don't really go in for big family dinners, but Scottish people are famously confrontational. It's a cultural thing, so maybe we don't need to have them to clear the air. Also, traditional family food isn't as nice here so there's no payoff for traveling hundreds of miles.

Denise Mina

Black men, we're known for getting into some drama with other black men, specifically black-on-black crime. We're used to the confrontational attitude.

DJ Premier

I'm not confrontational, but if someone challenges, I'm not going to back down.

Drake

A coach-player relationship in this league often will be confrontational at times. And other times, it's smooth sailing. But just the dynamic of the competitive nature of everybody, expectations, results - all these things combine, yeah, sometimes it will get testy. And that's good.

Erik Spoelstra

Everything has changed. An interview has become such a confrontational thing. It makes you very defensive.

Francesca Annis

An interview has become such a confrontational thing. It makes you very defensive.

Francesca Annis

I am not a confrontational person. I have never had a fight in my life - neither with a man nor a girl.

Hrithik Roshan

I just find the evangelical church too, well, restrictive. But the School of Practical Philosophy is nonconfrontational. We believe there are many forms of Scripture. What is true is true and will never change, whether it's in the Bible or in Shakespeare. It's about oneness.

Hugh Jackman

I do think that tonal element of Trump's is attractive, but I don't know if I would go so far as to say the confrontational element of his rhetoric is necessarily attractive.

J. D. Vance

I'm not really a confrontational person.

JaVale McGee

My heroes and heroines are often unlikely people who are dragged into situations without meaning to become involved, or people with a past that has never quite left them. They are often isolated, introspective people, often confrontational or anarchic in some way, often damaged or secretly unhappy or incomplete.

Joanne Harris

I'm so British and polite that creating a scene or being confrontational is so not my vibe.

Joe Lycett

In order to spur progress, we all need to be people who point out and shine a spotlight on racism wherever we see it. It doesn't always have to be confrontational, but it does need to become the societal norm that racism is identified and not tolerated in any form or fashion.

Joe Thomas

This marched was planned to be non violent and non confrontational, and gladly it stayed that way. What really impressed me was the self discipline of the Black Block.

John Blair

As a person who is not confrontational by disposition I tend to see that the quality of being confrontational is a positive attribute.

John Hall

In a confrontational situation, you'll get their gut. And I want their gut! And that's why people watch this show!

The people at MTV are encouraged to be very confrontational and declarative about their tastes.

John Seabrook

Unfortunately, the more chaotic the society, the greater is the desire for conservative, nonconfrontational art.

Kate Braverman

We're a band that's never been okay with the status quo. In a way, it's allowed us to be more open and confrontational in our music.

Lauren Mayberry

I don't want this to sound racist, but most Orientals are nonconfrontational. They'll let things slide. I'm not like that.

LaVar Ball

Early on, I really liked the idea of being confrontational. I loved the idea of making songs that made people really uncomfortable.

Lou Barlow

If our republican form of government is perishing because communications - the infrastructure of that republic - is under the yoke of international business how, at last, do we save it? We must build a confrontational movement to reclaim our democracy, a movement committed to active and sustained protest against the present order.

Mark Lloyd

The iconoclastic mode, that specific mode of language, there is an element of it that it is punk - that is confrontational. That's just a part of the language of jazz - at a certain point.

Matthew Shipp

There's something about compassion that causes society to say, 'We're going to take this person seriously.' Take Mother Teresa. She was confrontational on abortion, but she wasn't rejected by society.

Max Lucado

I always considered myself really non-confrontational and shy and introverted.

Melissa Benoist

We were the first people who did investigative stuff, who asked occasionally abrasive, occasionally confrontational questions.

Nathan Blecharczyk

I feel like I've come off as an outspoken woman. Sometimes I think I've come off as confrontational. But I feel like it's been pretty fair. Those are parts of me.

NeNe Leakes

For some people, when you walk into a room, what your fame means to them can be like pointing a weird gun at them. It triggers something. They might get really giggly or flirty or cold or confrontational.

Patricia Arquette

I'm not a screamer. I'm confrontational, but I don't think that translates into anger.

Rachel Maddow

Confrontational or not, my approach to public service has always been fighting for my families.

Rashida Tlaib

The relationship between press and politician - protected by the Constitution and designed to be happily adversarial - becomes sour, raw and confrontational.

Roger Mudd

It's really cathartic to play my songs live. I'm a really non-confrontational person, so my songs are kind of like all the things I never get to say to anyone.

Soccer Mommy

I was not athletically inclined. I was very quiet, introverted, non-confrontational. My three older brothers were athletes - basketball, football - but I was kind of a momma's boy. Then one day, my brother Roger encouraged me to go to the boxing gym with him. I tried the gloves on, and it just felt so natural.
