Heather Graham Quotes

I just want to prove that I am really good at something. And I haven't quite done that yet - at least not to myself. I know I could ride so much better, with more ease, with more finesse. I feel I'm nowhere near as good as I should be.

Well, I wouldn't say that I was in the great class, but I had a great time while I was trying to be great.

I recognize my limits but when I look around I realise I am not living exactly in a world of giants.

I have very high expectations of myself. I'm a very competitive person but competitive with myself. I want to be the best that I can be and if that means that I'm eventually better than everyone else then so be it.

I always say I've given 24 insufficient performances and I'm looking forward to the time in my life when I'll do something that I think is good. There's always stuff you can do better, stuff that maybe you didn't uncover enough. But if you do something that you truly believe is perfect, then that's got to be the last movie you do.

I'm such a perfectionist and I like to have everything just right, but at the same time I try to be as real and as genuine as I can be in my life and in my career.

There isn't anything I wanted to do that I haven't. At the same time, there isn't anything I've ever done that I didn't want to do better.

Mediocrity scares me. It's the fear of not being as good as you want to be. If you give over to that fear, it will sabotage you. As much as I can, I try to use that fear to guide me.

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

I'm such a perfectionist. I want to do better and better.

I knew I had to show everybody that I could excel at something. But I didn't know what.

I always feel like I can play better.

I find little things that drive me sometimes, but again, I'm already a driven person, and just because I strive for perfection on a personal level and don't really care what other people say or do. I just want to be the best I can be, so that drives me enough.

I used to focus so much on winning. I used to be such a perfectionist.

Any time you feel like you're not playing up to your potential, I think that drives you.

I put a lot of pressure on myself to be the best.

I feel I expect greatness from myself.

I've always expected a lot out of myself, and it can be a good quality. But it can be bad at times, too.

I feel like every role that you take there's a part of you that obviously feels like you can do it. I don't know if perfect is the right word because I don't believe in perfection and I don't think it exists but I think striving to do something well is in every single part.

I've got a lot to prove to a lot of people, including myself.

I cannot tell you that I am 100-percent comfortable, but for sure I am more confident of my goals, because I know what I can expect from this kind of event. At the beginning, everything was a mysterious, far-from-me world, and now it's more accessible. Of course, exposing myself is always very difficult. I cannot say that I'm a shy person, but I don't see myself as a superstar. I will never see myself like that.

You are your greatest asset. Put your time, effort and money into training, grooming, and encouraging your greatest asset.
