If we're stuck with having expectations, there's a very good reason to embrace positive ones: It's that we often create what we anticipate.

Happiness is ideal, it is the work of the imagination.

My imagination can picture no fairer happiness than to continue living for art.

When you're an artist, you have to hope for everything and expect nothing.

So I try not to have any actual expectations for myself for any level of success or failure.

It's like you always think that when you get to a goal, you'll be happy. But then there is always something else that interests you.

In life and in movies, it's a similar challenge, where you have expectations, and you end up in situations that are not meeting your expectations.

When one's expectations are reduced to zero, one really appreciates everything one does have.

When one paints an ideal, one does not need to limit one's imagination.
