SARA GILBERT

You know what you are best at, and writing is just not my thing, but I like it.

I flew back and forth and did episodes of Roseanne while I was at Yale.

I feel like there is just as much violent programming in other countries and there is not the same incidence of factors. I think there are other factors contributing to violence in this country and not the media.

But I just wonder what it would be like to be able to go places without people recognizing me.

I like that kind of frantic schedule. It makes me feel like I have a purpose.

Especially when you play a character for so many years, the character ends up reflecting a lot of who you are and I think I've changed a lot since then, but that represented a lot of who I was as a teenager.

I'm super shy, especially at parties.

I like going to New York. I like the galleries and the theatre and the restaurants and bars and music. I think that city is more alive than Los Angeles.

I think I really see myself doing TV more than ever.

I pretty much only write by default, because I want to make certain projects so instead of trying to wait and find them, I create them, but I'm not really a writer.

My twin in the show is Molly Stanton who is so sweet and great and she is totally different from me.

The best thing about being an actress is getting good concert tickets.

I'd just love to have an audience and it's the most fun in the world to get a new script every week and have the audience come in, and work with those actors.

I am ashamed to admit I watch a lot of reality shows like The Osbournes and The Bachelor.

I'd like to do more stuff with less sarcasm.

I do like to hang out in the corner and keep my eye on the party, or be outside in a smaller group.

Yeah, I started when I was 6 years old. My brother and sister would get all of these presents at Christmas time from the cast and crew of their show and I was jealous. So I decided that I had to become an actor.

A good place to start initially would be school plays.

No, I feel like my personality probably influenced the character, more than the character influenced me.

I am pretty much a sucker any really bad reality television.

I take my kids to the farmer's market - knowing I'm buying local and fresh makes the humiliation of the little choo-choo train ride worthwhile.

You want to keep the severity of our environmental problems in mind enough to keep yourself motivated but not enough to paralyze you into depression.

You can't be a perfect environmentalist unless you're Ed Begley, Jr., whom I once saw on TV using a bicycle to power his toaster. He's amazing.

I became a vegetarian at age 13 because I was into animal issues and felt like it was kinder not to eat animals.

Safe drinking water isn't just something to worry about on your tropical vacation. U.S. tap water is ridden with arsenic, lead, and pharmaceutical drugs. In short: Get a filter.
