Panic is a horrible thing.

I tend to stay with the panic. I embrace the panic.

Well, first of all, let me say that I might have made a tactical error in not going to a physician for 20 years. It was one of those phobias that really didn't pay off.

Panic causes tunnel vision. Calm acceptance of danger allows us to more easily assess the situation and see the options.

And if you're not going to have a clear health threat, you don't want to panic people.

I don't hide my feelings, but when it comes to illness, I guess I don't panic. My father was the same way. I'm the provider for the family and the caretaker. If I panic, who is anybody going to run to?

Panic plays no part in the training of a nurse.

When they tell you that you have cancer, you panic.

I do have panic attacks every time I go on stage so I'm really not sure why I put myself through this.

I grew up very self-loathing. I was a phobic. I had anxiety. I had panic attacks.
