I have never won a race, and that is my main disappointment - but you have to be positive.
Jean Alesi

I have to be happy in the here and now because every time you start focusing on your legacy you're really setting yourself up for disappointment.
Michael Bolton

I think It's a bit of a disappointment that a lot of people's Golden Age of music is still the '60s.
Jonny Greenwood

I think the intelligent thing about it is that you have to carefully listen to it all to grasp it, and because I'm not in every scene - colossal disappointment to everybody that it may be - I'm not getting the full picture here today while recording it.
Paul Darrow

I try not to have high expectations of people because it just sets you up for disappointment, but it's great to work with actors who are that talented and accomplished.
Famke Janssen

I wish I had had a great disappointment, a real one.
Nastassja Kinski

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't angry some days. But I really have worked hard to put a lot of the anger and disappointment in the past.
Monica Lewinsky

I'm not in the business of becoming famous. And that's the advice I give to younger aspiring actors. Work onstage and do the little roles. In the end it's not important to be seen. It's important to do. There's a lot of disappointment in this business, but my family keeps me grounded.

Landscape photography is the supreme test of the photographer - and often the supreme disappointment.
Ansel Adams

Living is strife and torment, disappointment and love and sacrifice, golden sunsets and black storms. I said that some time ago, and today I do not think I would add one word.
Laurence Olivier

Los Angeles was an impression of failure, of disappointment, of despair, and of oddly makeshift lives. This is California? I thought.
Joseph Barbera

Lucky that man whose children make his happiness in life and not his grief, the anguished disappointment of his hopes.
Euripedes

Maturity is a bitter disappointment for which no remedy exists, unless laughter could be said to remedy anything.
Kurt Vonnegut

Most of us women like men, you know; it's just that we find them a constant disappointment.
Clare Short
