Other people may not have had high expectations for me... but I had high expectations for myself.
When you have expectations, you are setting yourself up for disappointment.
I became so consumed with trying to live up to what the public expected that I lost myself. I don't know of anyone else who can say this.
If you align expectations with reality, you will never be disappointed.
If you expect nothing from anybody, you're never disappointed.
I've always had high expectations of myself. I've never felt that there was anything I couldn't do in this world.
I had such high expectations of myself. I was going to be the best mother, the best housewife, the best entertainer, the best nurse, you know - what it was, I was going to be the best. And I could never live up to my expectations.
I don't like to have really any expectations for myself.
I don't have expectations. Expectations in your life just lead to giant disappointments.
So I try not to have any actual expectations for myself for any level of success or failure.
