Matthew Morrison Quotes

I always was that person who was hard on myself and challenged myself no matter what I was doing, whether it was passing third grade or playing basketball.

I feel like I need to improve in every area. That might shock people, but I'm never satisfied with my game.

I am never satisfied with myself and that is what keeps me going - I have no post-satisfaction.

No one puts higher expectations on themselves than I do.

I always want to become better. If never being satisfied is a problem, then I have it. At least it's a good problem.

I've always put pressure on myself to perform well.

I'll never give myself an A since I ask a lot from myself.

If I cannot be the best or operate at the best highest level, then I need to go away.

I know I'm a good professional, I know that no one's harder on me than myself and that's never going to change, under any circumstances.

I get angry if I do things wrong, but that's what keeps me going. I want to do my best.

Well, any time you do anything good, it's man versus himself, right? That's the art, the challenge.

The selfish thing about an athlete is you always look at the side of things where you say I could've done that better.

I'm a textbook definition of that perfectionist girl who has huge expectations of herself.

I have been my own disciple and my own master. And I have been a good disciple but a bad master.

I put more pressure on myself than anybody in this world.

I expect perfection from myself.

I always wanted to be the best I could be at whatever I did. I didn't want to be the number one golfer in the world. I just wanted to be as good as I could be. I work hard, I push myself hard, and I probably even expect too much of myself.

One of the by-products of being a perfectionist and constantly trying to improve myself are sobering feelings of low-grade anxiety and a nagging sense of inadequacy. But this is not anxiety without a purpose. No, this anxiety keeps me humble. It creates a healthy tension that serves as the catalyst that drives me to fulfill my limited potential.

I have this desire to keep improving, so I find fault.

My mum has always said I am too hard on myself. But I have always been like that and it has always helped me. After matches I focus only on what I did wrong. Never what I did well.

I'm definitely my worst critic. I guess that's good because it keeps you on your toes.

I'm super self-critical, which I think is good, because then I get exactly what I want. I'm critical of other people, too - I try not to be, though.

I just feel like I need to do better and better and better.

I've always been critical about my work. It pushes me to work harder.

I'll never get complacent. I am my own toughest critic.
