The truth is that it has not been my pipe dream to have a restaurant. I know restaurateurs, and the amount of work that goes into a restaurant is nothing short of insanity. It's a real commitment, and most restaurants don't make it, so the odds are really against you.

Antoni Porowski

If I do a certain number of ads, I have to do a personal project in between, just for my own sanity. I still consider myself a punk-rock kid.

Aaron Ruell

Us UN Till

Hollywood studios bury that stuff - actors who punch directors in the face and try to run producers over with cars - insanity, criminal behavior. But the studios are invested in that star, they can't have that person's name dirtied up.

Alec Baldwin

Car Wood Woo

I used to have seven dogs; now I have a more manageable four. I was in Cornwall, and one dog got swept away downstream, so my cousin dived in to get it, then her dog dived in. So I jumped in to rescue hers. Those dogs are my calm. That's how I cope with the business - I get the sanity on my woodland dog walks, being a tomboy.

Alesha Dixon

Business Age Wood

Everything in Italy that is particularly elegant and grand borders upon insanity and absurdity or at least is reminiscent of childhood.

Alexander Herzen

Art Very Up

For the sake of calm in the country, I am ready to sacrifice my own sanity.

Alexander Lukashenko

UN Try T

We must, I believe, start teaching our children the sanity of nonviolence much earlier.

Alice Walker

Art Violence Us

One of the definitions of sanity is the ability to tell real from unreal. Soon we'll need a new definition.

Alvin Toffler

Love: A temporary insanity curable by marriage.

Ambrose Bierce

Marriage Love Age

I used to believe that you have to say yes to every opportunity that comes your way in order to succeed in life. Now I realize that the rarely-talked-about secret to success (and sanity) is recognizing when it makes more sense to say no.

Ana Kasparian

Success Life Your

Here is the most important thing for us all to remember, for the sake of our common sanity and safety: In America, the right to vote and democratically elect a president is just as precious and valued as the right to protest and express yourself against that president.

Ana Navarro

Yourself Yours Your

The two are not mutually exclusive, but we think we can have wealth without good ideas and without values and without a clear vision. Wealth without vision is insanity.

Andrew Young

Good Without Wit

I've had my moments of insanity. But there is a certain responsibility to set proper examples for your children, and that influences your choices in every aspect of your life.

Andy Garcia

Mom Men Life

Occasionally, I'll want to cover something that's outside of my audiences' tastes or interests. Every week or so I have to try and cover at least one or two of those things to keep my sanity. If you're only reviewing what is in the top album spots on Apple Music every week, you can get kind of jaded.

Anthony Fantano

Music You Wing

Every week, I'm faced with, and aware of, 10-14 different reviewable albums that, in a perfect world, I'd be able to pop a review out of. But I'm just one person who, while maintaining my sanity, can only do 5-6 reviews per week.

Anthony Fantano

War World Wit

I don't believe that man was built to be put in a 5-by-7 for 30 years and have his sanity when he comes out if he doesn't find something to escape.

Anthony Ray Hinton

Years Year Thing

I want to show that the dividing lines between sanity and mental illness have been drawn in the wrong place.

Anthony Storr

Men Wrong Want

The truth is that it has not been my pipe dream to have a restaurant. I know restaurateurs, and the amount of work that goes into a restaurant is nothing short of insanity. It's a real commitment, and most restaurants don't make it, so the odds are really against you.

Antoni Porowski

Work Truth Men

I was accorded the opportunity to learn by failing - albeit at the cost of a few honourable teachers' sanity - and now I realise what a rare and incredible luxury that is.

Arabella Weir

Teacher Unity Unit

I try to get to the beach every day. It brings sanity to my life. I'll just sit and read a book and enjoy the quiet.

Audrina Patridge

Life Very Us

If we get to the point where we damage the full faith and credit of the United States, that would be the first default in history caused purely by insanity.

Austan Goolsbee

History Faith Age

Look, we're all saddled with things that make us better or worse. This world is a crazy place, and I've chosen to make my work about that insanity.

Barbara Kruger

I think if one wants to be in a continual state of insanity one should stay married to that writing partner.

Barry Mann

With respect to keeping your sanity, the more you are dedicated to your job, the more you think about it. And there is so much to think about for the director.

Barun Sobti

Get away from the place that makes you feel comfortable with your depression. The reality is it's never as bad as the insanity you've created in your head.

Ben Huh

I organized Sweet Honey In The Rock in 1973. The music was sanity and balance.

Bernice Johnson Reagon

I'm a very private person, not much of a party person. That's how I keep my sanity.

Bill Duke

In my case I don't mind playing a character that irritates people or makes people question my sanity.

Billy Corgan

I was fantasising about my own death, I started thinking what my funeral would be like and what music would be played, I was at that level of insanity.

Billy Corgan

I've kept my sanity in this business by trying out for a role and then going home and trying to forget about it.

Blythe Danner

Three days doesn't sound like a very long time, and under normal, everyday circumstances, it's not - but under POW camp conditions, it doesn't take long to wear down a man's sanity.

Brandon Webb

Challenge is the pathway to engagement and progress in our lives. But not all challenges are created equal. Some challenges make us feel alive, engaged, connected, and fulfilled. Others simply overwhelm us. Knowing the difference as you set bigger and bolder challenges for yourself is critical to your sanity, success, and satisfaction.

Brendon Burchard

For me, if I didn't have reading I'd go absolutely crazy. It really helps me to unplug from the whole world, and keep my sanity, and be able to fill my time with something other than technology.

Bria Vinaite

I'm very grateful, first of all, for my friends and my family because they keep me grounded, and they make sure I'm taking care of myself and that I'm keeping my sanity about me.

Brian Tyree Henry

There are some decision-makers in the world whose version of sanity is a little different from what I consider the right one.

Bruce Cockburn

The distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success.

Bruce Feirstein

You just have to stick to it beyond all reason and all sanity; you just keep at it. You have to believe that you've got to be in the theater.

Carol Channing

Insanity runs in my family. It practically gallops.

Cary Grant

Genius is one of the many forms of insanity.

Cesare Lombroso

I feel 'SmackDown' has the absolute best tag teams in the world: we have us; we have The New Day. We have the Usos. We have The Club. We have Sanity. We have the Hardys. We have Rusev and Nakamura.

Cesaro

That's the last thing on Earth you should think about... There's just a whole lot of things that aren't going to work for you. Figure out what they are and avoid them like the plague. And one of them is bitcoin... It is total insanity.

Charlie Munger

I do like taking stuff seriously that a lot of people look at as nonsense. I enjoy the insanity of that. And I like the commitment that is needed for that.

Christian Bale

When I'm in the kitchen, I don't want anybody else in the kitchen. I have a system - and the system, it's another form of insanity that has grabbed me.

Christian Slater

I would say any behavior that is not the status quo is interpreted as insanity, when, in fact, it might actually be enlightenment. Insanity is sorta in the eye of the beholder.

Chuck Palahniuk

My family thought it was insanity for me to go into the theater rather than to get an education.

Clarice Taylor

Control your life through insanity.

Cliff Burton

I didn't make any money out of my art until I was in my 40s, but it preserved my sanity and my freedom.

Cornelia Parker

As a writer of fiction, you don't ever want to limit the characters you create to the life you've lived. That's insanity to me.

Courtney A. Kemp

I understand that it would be smart, career-wise, to line up something, but it wouldn't be smart for my personal life or my sanity. Some people thrive when they're working. I thrive when I'm hanging out with my friends and doing yoga.

Courtney Thorne-Smith

To preserve my sanity I had to leave England and move to New York.

Curt Smith

The music business is a crazy game, especially for somebody like me who is really a purist about the art. Trying to balance the pressures of commercialism, it's a tightrope. It's a fine line between sticking to your guns and insanity.
