That's an interesting way to put it: an expectation of who you should be. More often than not, it's described as an expectation of who you are.

In my role of agent for Miss Hathaway, I would like to say that she does not answer questions relating to this subject.

I don't do anything to try to change people's perceptions of me. I tend to think that's sort of an ego driven thing.

Don't underestimate your kids. Don't be condescending, because they're children but they're not stupid.

Some people just derive great joy from making other people laugh. And I do, but I don't feel like I need to do it 24 hours a day.

I would like for my kids to at least have some familiarity with who I am: "It's the man from TV!"

You're doing your kids a disservice if they do get everything they want because that's not the way life's going to go, and I think kids have to have some reality.
