We all have expectations but sometimes the greatest thing is to be surprised with what happens and to find out that it is quite different from the way you imagined it.
When I first told people I was writing a book, some would say that was interesting, but others thought it was some holiday project and I would lose interest.

I am becoming increasingly difficult to please as a reader, but I adore being surprised by a really wonderful book, written by someone I've never heard of before.
People are always very surprised by how, offstage with my husband, I'm a completely different person... very soft and nurturing.
I would never want to do something just for the sake of being independent or for the sake of doing big films. I'm always surprised by the material I'm attracted to. And that's how I like it. I like to be surprised.
I'm surprised by the fact that I like the word 'husband.' I thought I would hate it.
Everyone on 'Ray Donovan' was super nice. I was kind of surprised by how welcoming everyone was because of how established the show was.
Some people are really surprised that I can sing different ways.
Sometimes it used to hurt so bad when people used to say stuff about me. It still does. But I'm at a level now that I'm like, 'I ain't surprised that they said this or that about me.'
If you're having a hard time recognizing your gifts, look to someone else you know who's been resourceful. You may be surprised by how your own strengths rise to the surface by watching someone else.
