It's not like we don't have any talent. We can't sing like Whitney Houston, but we can sing well.
So what if you're not perfect? nobody else is either.
I always remind my kids, "I'm your parent, but I'm a human being, too, so I may not be perfect."
We can't all do everything.
If I can be right 75 per cent of the time I shall come up to the fullest measure of my hopes.
I stay away from the title of 'role model.' I want to be a more realistic role model - not a perfect Barbie role model.
I've had happy moments in my life, but I don't think that happiness-- being happy-- is a perpetual state that anyone can be in. Life isn't that way.
I am not going to sit here and say I am never going to drink again. That is not realistic.
Just do the best you can. No one can do more than that.
I would say realistically, and I don't want any headlines, but I would say realistically that next year would be the last year.
I had a very realistic expectation of the level of success that it was possible to attain writing romance novels.
I'm never going to be fast, and nobody will ever mistake me for being fast.
I had no illusions that my career would be any longer than three years tops.
Being an optimist after you've got everything you want doesn't count.
I couldn't sing like Mick Jagger, not that I wanted to.
Given that I can't sing like Freddie Mercury, obviously I'm not going to pursue it as a career. What would be the point?
I'm not a perfect player.
Let's face it: I am not a professional runner.
I'm always going to give my fans a realistic expectation and let them know that if you think I'm never gonna make a mistake again, go find another YouTuber.
I've got to confess I'm a pragmatic optimist myself.
You need to drop down. Nobody is perfect, nobody is superhero.
I'm not railing, 'This is inadequate' or 'This isn't right.' Just show me what will work.
As much as I'd like to think I'm a really good designer, I'm average.
All I can do is my best.
I do my best, and that's all I can do.
