#straight

I developed a mechanism so that whatever mistakes I made, I would bounce straight back. Whatever was happening off the pitch, I could put it to one side and maintain my form. Call it mental resilience or a strong mind, but that is what we mean when we talk about experience in a football team. ↗

I like to play characters that are convincing, that aren't just straightforward and nice. ↗

It seems to me that the way to remove people's cynicism is, when asked a straight question, to give a straight answer. ↗

If you can't stand a little sacrifice and you can't stand a trip across the desert with limited water, we're never going to straighten this country out. ↗

I feel an obligation to set the record straight. Actors that say they're affected by something, that it changes their life, that they take it home with them, they're just trying to get nominated for an Oscar! ↗

Gay teenagers are four times as likely to attempt suicide as straight ones. I wish they knew that there's nothing wrong with them; that they are just a different shade of normal. ↗
