I do have high standards. I look at everything I have done and think, 'Why wasn't that better?' Part of my motivation is from crippling self-doubt - I have got to prove myself wrong.

The deal is that I hold myself to an extremely high standard, and it's a standard that can never be... it's unattainable. But it drives me to be the very best in everything I do.

Set high standards and few limitations for yourself.

You just have to do; you can't live by the rules of what you're supposed to do. I think every person is good at something, and you just have to push that forward.

I don't imagine myself, my work, or my life, fitting into any kind of standardized path. In fact, the idea of there even being a standard freaks me out a lot.

When you fail by your own standards, it's a form of success.

I do have impossibly high standards.

Let's not be afraid to speak the common sense truth: you can't have high standards without good discipline.

What matters is that you are doing what you think is right based on the standards which you hold.

You figure out what your standards are, and I think that's important.
