Quick Question, sanitizing ADMIN input?

Let's say you have a password protected admin panel and the only user will be you and only you forever and ever. Do you still sanitize everything or do you not bother?

I would still sanitize just to avoid any potential problems, but it wouldn't be the end of the world if you don't if you are the only person using it. If someone however gets to your admin account he might get access to the database if you don't sanitize but it is a little far fetched, but still a potential security issue.
