Don't lower your expectations to meet your performance. Raise your level of performance to meet your expectations. Expect the best of yourself, and then do what is necessary to make it a reality.

You should have high expectations for yourself and others should come second.

Don't be limited by the expectations of others. You can always be better and do more.

You worry just as much about great performance as you do about underperformance.

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

I have a very high expectation for everything I do. And when I go out and compete, I expect myself to make every play.

I think my expectations for myself are much more severe and much more direct. You can't work on a film for six years without being your own toughest critic. So you can't really be distracted by the expectations based on your previous performance.

Obviously, everybody has their own expectations of you, but you have to have your own expectations for yourself. For me, I'm right on track.
