Anthony Hopkins Expectations Quotations

If you have high expectations you're going to get resentments and all kinds of tension.

I've reached a happy stage in my life - you can call it "happy" - but I have no expectations anymore. I'm glad I'm not young anymore.

No expectations. Ask nothing, expect nothing and accept everything, and life is very well.

Keep low expectations and life gets pretty good.

I said once that if they gave me enough money to read the phone book, I'd do it. I live in a total state of non-expectation. I don't expect things, and I keep my expectations very low about everything

I just remember Kathy Bates getting on the stage and "The Oscar goes to Anthony Hopkins." I looked around, because I really thought Nick Nolte would get it. I really thought Nick would get it. I was very surprised. It was neck and neck with Nick Nolte and myself. So I really was expecting that to happen, and I went in there without any expectations.

Non-expectation, non-acceptance because the expectation leads to resentment and depression, so I have no expectations.
