I have the mindset of a mid-level guy or a minimum guy. My path here wasn’t expected: my path wasn’t that I was going to the NBA and making $16 million a year. So I identify more with those guys, and I want to be a voice for them. I want to help them elevate their status in the league. That’s my goal.
It is expected that a children’s story will raise a difficulty and then resolve it: increasingly, this resolution is so prompt and so resounding that one forgets what exactly the difficulty was.
At the Home Run Derby, you’re expected to hit home runs. You’re up there trying to hit home runs.
When I first started out, there were times I would dress or act in a way because I thought it was expected of me or that people would take me more seriously. But once I started leading in a way that was authentically me, that is when I really started to see success.

Now, I know you expected me to say that, well, I just kick back in the rocking chair, fished a little bit, listened to Willie Nelson tapes and watched old baseball games on the Classic Sports network. And, tell you the truth, I have done that for maybe about five total minutes.
Today, Medicare provides health insurance to about 40 million seniors and disabled individuals each year. The number is only expected to grow as the baby boomers begin retiring.
I choose to be more prepared than I’m expected to be.
I think if I were a college professor, no one would say I was uncomfortable about being shy because that might be expected. But I think because of people’s stereotypes, they think of a football player as someone who is very outgoing and I’m not.
I was raised in an orthodox Jewish home where it was expected that, as a woman, I’d marry an investment banker, raise kids in the suburbs and go to temple. I wasn’t raised to set the world on fire.
I have, I think, afforded every opportunity that could be reasonably expected, to judge of my credibility.
I had to trick people into giving me money for my first film. Making a romantic comedy is easier and more expected from a woman than it is to make a drama about a Japanese warrior.
I always knew that I was an artist. I never expected to be able to make a living.
I learned that it is the weak who are cruel, and that gentleness is to be expected only from the strong.
I used to enjoy using dots where they would be least expected, not at the end of a sentence but in the middle, creating the effect… of a skipped beat. It seemed to me the mind reacted – first!… in dots, dashes, and exclamation points, then rationalized, drew up a brief, with periods.
Today, campaigning isn’t an ‘interruption’ but a permanent condition. Indeed, if you are a successful campaigner, it’s expected you’ll be a successful president.
Big Brother’ has put me off people. I thought, ‘I’m gonna get a dog.’ I really think I’m going to become more reclusive. It was nothing like I expected. I was so naive about it.
In person, I wear jeans and flip-flops, and people are so shocked. They tell me I look so much younger than they expected.
To have come of age during and after the global financial crisis of 2008 is to belong to a generation often unable to do what an American could once expect, and to do what was once expected: Get a job, pay off student loans, and find a place of your own.
In international cricket, the core group in most of the teams would remain same. So you know what’s expected, but they will operate in different conditions, which is why the homework about conditions is the key.
There were some situations where I was giving up everything I had for the band and I just expected everybody else to feel the same way. I realized I was just kidding myself.
Because if you say men and women are the same and if male behaviour is the norm, and women are always expected to act like men, we will never be as good at being men as men are.
I never imagined that Hamilton would be turned into a musical, much less a hip-hop musical. I think I can safely say that that’s the last thing I would have expected.

It is not to be expected that human nature will change in a day.
I’d rather do a part because I want to, not because great things are expected of me.
I have to hold up my end of the bargain and do what’s expected of me.
I think that girls are always expected to have opinions about each other, and maybe I don’t have an opinion about some things, you know?
I always lived by railroads, and I would find places to just look at the horizon, and I always expected there was something somewhere else. And sometimes I think that’s more a metaphysical somewhere else rather than just to get out of the town.
People never expected a boy from a small town to have a life like I did.
My first two records were more energetic; Phantom Moon is subtle, quiet; so these various reactions are just something I expected.
Nobody expected me to finish Cub Swanson the way I did. When you see something like that, even I say, ‘You’re finally here. You’re not only hanging with the best of the best, you’re finishing them.’
Pretty much all I ever expected out of comics was page rate. You could make money doing sketches at conventions, and that could supplement your income. But page rate and some supplement, maybe, was all I ever expected.
The tech industry’s love for scrappy, accessible founders adds to the pressure. You’re expected to lead by example, to roll up your sleeves, to know everything going on.
Here, class attendance is expected and students are required to take notes, which they are tested on. What is missing, it seems to me, is the use of knowledge, the practical training.
As far as ‘Windup Girl’ becoming a hit – none of us expected that. ‘Night Shade’ was just hoping not to lose their shirts, and I had grown up hearing from everyone that science fiction didn’t sell, so all of our expectations were very low.
Why has everything got to be about feelings these days? In the old days, no one knew what anyone was feeling and, what’s more, they weren’t expected to.

What emerged, of course, was that the magnitude scale presupposed that all earthquakes were alike except for a constant scaling factor. And this proved to be closer to the truth than we expected.
I was the kid who always hung back and then dropped the jokes when you least expected it. Timing was everything. My mouth sort of developed over time.
I started my account to post pictures of client makeup I did to get more gals during prom season. I never in a million years would’ve expected to be where I am today, or even working with CoverGirl.
Enrollment in Colorado is expected to expand about 25 percent in seven years. It’s very difficult to find those additional funds. Therefore, I think you’re probably going to have increased pressure on tuition.
The difficulty with any sort of esteem is that more is expected of you.
I never expected to be the face of sexual harassment. But I never give up on anything. So when placed in a new, challenging situation, it’s like, ‘I’m going to give this 110% because that’s what I’ve done my entire life.’
Anger clearly has its proper place at work, which is neither wholly absent nor ever present. The manager who is an emotional blank is just as hard to work for as the volcanic boss, and both can do great harm by setting an unhelpful example for what kind of emotional expression is expected and accepted.
The real gender inequality in marriage stems from the tendency to regard women as the default parent, the one who, in the absence of family-friendly work policies, is expected to adjust her paid work to shoulder the brunt of domestic responsibilities.
There’s always a risk when the candidate becomes president: Will he deliver what is expected of him?
Obviously, being a first baseman, you’re kind of expected to hit some home runs. Obviously, that goes into your head; it gets into my head a little bit.

I never expected I would be connected to the Alpha male as some kind of ancillary object, and to this day it mystifies me.
When I go to the movies, I’m expected to identify with all of the characters, and most of them are white. But when you put a black character in there, somehow the white audience isn’t expected to identify with them. That’s a problem.
You had two men who knew the exact same thing, which is Russia did meddle in the elections. I think President Trump wanted to make sure that President Putin was aware that he was acknowledging it, that he knew it. I think President Putin did what we all expected him to do, which was deny it.
I went back over the sketch books I’d filled at Sheffield for ideas and discovered Wallace and Gromit, except Gromit was a cat then. I made them into Plasticene shapes and started ‘A Grand Day Out.’ It took me longer than I expected.
