Sometimes I try to take a nap before shows. That clears my head.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The night before a show, I don't sleep. Really. I've been doing this for 30 years, and the night before a show, I still don't sleep.
I fall asleep on the couch in front of the TV. It's very rare that I see the end of any show.
When I watch films or tv that I've done, I get very restless and tend to not sit still.
I watch a lot of TV - 'Perfect Strangers,' 'Family Matters,' 'Who's the Boss?' - then I go over my notes in the script, lock it into my head and go to bed.
It's very refreshing to go away and take a break, to clear your head, and just get into something else.
There's always something going on, but thank goodness these days it's with a clear head, which helps me massively.
Even when I am writing I usually take a break around lunchtime and go for a little walk to clear out my head.
The show girls do, like, 12 shows a day. I only did one or two shows a day, and I was like, 'I need to go to sleep.'
Nothing clears my head and puts things in perspective quite like a long, hard run.
I'm kind of an insomniac and watch TV late at night.
