It's funny: I can never sleep between shows; I think it's because I don't like to switch the motor off. I'll probably have some chicken or pasta, though never the two together, and maybe go out for a quick wander around.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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.
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.'
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 can't sleep, I'll start thinking about how many shows I've done, count up the number of television shows and movies.
There's a different energy at one of my shows than anybody else's.
I get my most creative sort of energy after a show. So I love to go back to the hotel and compose new material. Generally in a rush, exactly. I have to get it out somehow, otherwise I can't sleep, you know.
Sometimes I try to take a nap before shows. That clears my head.
I feel my shows are like a late-night talk show that we settle down and do every night.
After a show, people say, 'I bet you want to just sit back and relax.' No way. First thing I want to do when I'm home is cook.
I really try to get eight hours of sleep, and I really try not to go out after a Tuesday or Friday night show because I know I have a two-show day the following day.
