I\u2019m a meditator. I\u2019ve meditated twice a day for years. Without that I\u2019d probably be dead by now. I train a couple of times a week. And take it easy during the day, so at 53 I can pretend to be 35 when I\u2019m onstage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWay to handle exhaustion is martinis. Makes everything fine and I try not to make too many. I don\u2019t go out a lot. Last Sunday, went to dinner with my kids then watched\u00a0Tom Hanks\u2019 movie. It\u2019s a racy life.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd don\u2019t ask if I ever effed up onstage. I have. Many times. Once I actually peed in my pants. Onstage. Wearing red tights. That\u2019s about as far cooped up as you can get. I had to laugh it off. Listen, we\u2019re all human. I don\u2019t love making mistakes, but I love when someone else does.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThings have gone wrong a few times in [\u2018The Music Man\u2019]. It\u2019s terrifying because it\u2019s all so fast. Once you get off the train it\u2019s, like, miraculous to get back on. Frightens me.

Then, for the next three shows, I\u2019m in the wings sweating. Thinking, \u2018Oh, God, have I got all I need to remember?\u2019 Happens all the time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t worry much during the scenes. Because I\u2019ll just ad-lib around. Worries me during a number. Like when I\u2019m into very fast patter in a song.

I\u2019m always having to put on weight. My body naturally wants to go down in pounds.
