'Hamlet' is one of the most dangerous things ever set down on paper. All the big, unknowable QUESTIONS like what it is to be a HUMAN being; the difference between sanity and INSANITY; the meaning of life and DEATH; what's real and not real. All these subjects can LITERALLY drive you mad.

I WANT to KEEP my SANITY.

My grandmother had the most DRAMATIC effect on my LIFE because she set me in one direction, and I had to go back the other direction for my sanity, and for my ability to be a SOCIAL human being.

It was an hour of SANITY with the good guys WINNING, a SITUATION where the world was RIGHT side up.

It was with 9/11 that I CAME to fully appreciate and EMBRACE NPR's irreplaceability as a SANITY preserver, its unique virtues as first responder on the burning scene.

Nothing like FALLING in LOVE with a DEAD actress to prove your SANITY.

There's PLENTY to read about KEEPING your SANITY while raising children, but it's all common-sense STUFF about task DIVISION and taking breaks and the relentlessly repeated magic of date night with your spouse. What's missing is some 'tude.

I WANT to keep my HEALTH and my SANITY and be well and feel happy. Plus, I want to have FUN.

I only have so MUCH energy, so SOMETHING had to go. This is why, at the end of the day, I've preserved my sanity for the children and also MANAGE to do my best at WORK.

I KNEW I NEEDED to workout for my sanity, and I try and make it a daily habit if I can, so I COUNT myself very lucky that I have been able to keep doing that while PREGNANT.

I try to keep myself busy creatively; it's for my own SANITY after AUDITIONING in the CITY for BAD television shows and bad scripts and not being a NAME and having the clout to get my tapes passed on further.

We are screaming BATTLE cries against those WHOSE political and PERSONAL agendas threaten our LIVES and sanity.
