Never being comfortable/never being satisfied

I am reminded of what Ms. Wells addressed at our talk this afternoon---she is never fully comfortable in any story---she never says (after a "good" performance) that all future performances will likewise be equally great!
I think this is because a story is a living entity---affected not only by the teller---and where they are psychologically---but how they choose to interpret the story for a given audience (which always changes).
