I would have thought that I would have become one of those parents - just because it's my nature to be such a perfectionist - that anything falling short, I would have seen as a failure. But something has happened to me over the past few years - it's not Zen, believe me, I'm not at all Zen - but I'm so appreciative of even the chaos.

A. James Clark

Very T Sure

With four perfectionists in the band, we have a hard time reaching perfection.

As an athlete, I know that I'm such a perfectionist that I'll want to go out and keep working on something over and over until it's perfect. Part of growing up is learning to take a step back.

Adam Rippon

Work Learning Art

Alexis Stewart

Than T Perfectionist

Amari Cooper

Ways Way Us

Everyone knows Aamir to be a perfectionist. But only those who have worked with him can vouch for his integrity. I had the privilege of doing one of my most important films, 'Mangal Pandey: The Rising' with Aamir.

Amisha Patel

Work Worked Wit

Ever since I was a young girl, even in school, I was always a perfectionist, and I always wanted to do my homework as soon as I got home. Everything had to be done properly.

Ana Ivanovic

Work Home Young

With experience, you understand expectations, you understand consequences, but sometimes it gets a little bit hard, especially for me, that I'm a perfectionist - I want to analyse everything. And sometimes it's most important to just let go and trust your instincts. This is what I need to do more of.

Ana Ivanovic

Trust Time Experience

I think any artist is a perfectionist by their nature.

Andrea Riseborough

Nature Art Tis

No perfectionist has ever met his own benchmarks, and no one so famished for admiration has ever received enough of it.

T Shed She

Parenting is no sport for perfectionists.

But I think Steve's main contribution besides just the pure leadership is his passion for excellence. He's a perfectionist. Good enough isn't good enough. And also his creative spirit. You know he really, really wants to do something great.

Andy Hertzfeld

Leadership Great Good

I'm very driven by what I do. I am certainly very competitive. I like people who represent the best at what they do, and if that turns you into a perfectionist, then maybe I am.

Anna Wintour

Pet You Who

I'm a big perfectionist! I'm trying to channel super-confident women like Alicia Keys, Mariah Carey and Beyonce, because I realized that if you want something, you really have to go for it, just like they do.

Ariana Grande

Women Men Car

Nancy Reagan was a perfectionist, and I am not.

Barbara Bush

I'm such a perfectionist and I want to do everything right, kick every goal, do everything perfectly, but that is not reality.

Beauden Barrett

I'm a perfectionist, and I like to do each scene slightly differently every time.

In the beginning, for the first English record it was really hard for me because I'm a perfectionist and I really wanted it to sound natural and not like a German who tries to sing in English.

Bill Kaulitz

I'm somewhat of a perfectionist.

Blackbear

I try to be a perfectionist.

Brad Parscale

I've always been that person: If it gets into my head, I've got to do it until I get it perfect - a perfectionist's attitude.

Brendon Urie

I'm like a recovering perfectionist. For me it's one day at a time.

Brene Brown

At age 12, I was on 'Guiding Light,' and I wanted to be accepted by these adults I was working with. I started with the Eat Right for Your Type diet. A friend who was a little older was doing it. I have a perfectionist personality, so I wanted to do the best job I could. I was not eating anything it said not to.

Brittany Snow

I would have thought that I would have become one of those parents - just because it's my nature to be such a perfectionist - that anything falling short, I would have seen as a failure. But something has happened to me over the past few years - it's not Zen, believe me, I'm not at all Zen - but I'm so appreciative of even the chaos.

Brooke Shields

I'm a perfectionist and I always want to do the best as possible.

Callum Smith

I'm too professional, too much of a perfectionist to take my eye off the ball.

Callum Smith

I'm kind of a perfectionist, and it gets in the way with my putting sometimes. Golf is a messed-up game. When you feel you've figured it out is when you're going to struggle.

Camilo Villegas

I'm such a perfectionist.

Candice Glover

I'm kind of a perfectionist about my songwriting. If I don't mean it, I don't think it's any good.

Cassie Ventura

I never considered Miles Davis a perfectionist; I always considered him as an excellence-ist, where deviation is actually kind of cool.

Charlie Trotter

Professionally, I'm a perfectionist, and to allow people to see that maybe I wasn't always perfect or put together - that my actual personal life was very messy at times... it was scary to let people know that.

Charlotte Flair

I'm a lot more serious on the court. I'm probably a lot more intense than some of these guys thought I would be. Off the court, I'm a totally different dude. But my passion's to win, and I'm a perfectionist out there.

Chauncey Billups

It's a bit of a headache being a perfectionist. You're never satisfied.

Cherie Lunghi

Every time, all the time, I'm a perfectionist. I feel I should never lose.

Chris Evert

It was a pleasure to work with Destiny's Child in the beginning of their career. Working in the studio with Beyonce was a lot of fun. She's an extremely hard worker, perfectionist, and a talented writer.

Chris Stokes

I've got a big closet of scripts, and a big stack of scripts on the side of my desk, because you get a whole bunch. Nothing's going to be perfect, and I realize that; but I am a perfectionist, so you go through a lot of stuff.

Chris Tucker

I'm not a perfectionist. I'm just very observant.

Chris Van Allsburg

I'm a dreamer, and I'm a perfectionist, and I love excellence, and that's hardwired in me. But when I was young, I lived in a space for a long time where I only felt insufficient.

Christen Press

I'm a perfectionist, so everything I put out needs to be, like, 100 percent. So when it comes to releasing things on my YouTube channel, I triple-quadruple check it before I post it because this has got to be ready for the amount of people who are going to be watching, for sure.

Christina Grimmie

I'm such a perfectionist. I can be like, 'This has to be like this. And this, and this and this.' But then you realize a lot of things that you thought mattered, they really don't matter.

Ciara

When I work, I work. I don't think about anything else. I just wanna get the work done. And I'm a perfectionist.

Coco Lee

I'm a big perfectionist, and I like to make sure everything 120 percent, from the production to the vocal performance to the lyrics, the melody and everything.
