Never want something without expecting it
I never want to get caught with not expecting something.
Sacrifice to me is something you do without expecting something in return.
I never could bear the idea of anyone's expecting something from me. It always made me want to do just the opposite.
I want my music to feel like I'm giving something to someone else and not that I'm expecting something back.
Keep on going and the chances are you will stumble on something, perhaps when you are least expecting it. I have never heard of anyone stumbling on something sitting down.
We want character but without unyielding conviction; we want strong morality but without the emotional burden of guilt or shame; we want virtue but without particular moral justifications that invariably offend; we want good without having to name evil; we want decency without the authority to insist upon it; we want more community without any limitations to personal freedom. In short, we want what we cannot possibly have on the terms that we want it.
That's what I strive for every time I'm in the studio, to make sure that y'all love it and that I'm not giving y'all something I'm expecting you to buy. I want y'all to want to buy it and want to hear it again. If you like it, go get it, if you don't, throw it out.

The trouble you're expecting never happens; it's always something that sneaks up the other way.
I've never been a heavy practitioner of the method or, at least, with any specific intent; I'm kind of an impulse-based person. Like, I'm sort of waiting for something to happen that I'm not expecting, and I kind of want to jump on that train of emotion, whatever it is, both from myself or from the other actor.
But Rhett, you mustn't bring me anything else so expensive. It's awfully kind of you, but I really couldn't accept anything else." "Indeed? Well, I shall bring you presents so long as it pleases me and so long as I see things that will enhance your charms. I shall bring you dark-green watered silk for a frock to match the bonnet. And I warn you that I am not kind. I am tempting you with bonnets and bangles and leading you into a pit. Always remember I never do anything without reason and I never give anything without expecting something in return. I always get paid.
Everyone is expecting something in each game I'm playing. I don't have to score in every game, but I want to do my best. I want to give everything for the club, for my teammates, and myself also.
