When I'm coming offstage after my show, I'm thinking about what's on my TiVo.
After rehearsals or a performance, you're wired and tired and it takes a while to calm down.
Unfriend people who do not post to Facebook or engage with anyone else. You'll find your posts start getting reach they never did before. Why? Facebook only releases your posts to a few people at first and watches what they do with it.
If reality had a stage door I'd hang around there to see what comes out after the show.
When the curtain falls, the best thing an actor can do is to go away.
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 have a pretty decent understanding of which posts will perform better than others. Specifically on Instagram, when it's a style picture, those ones always get way more likes.
Few things parallel the bonding that occurs post-performance when congratulatory remarks are awarded, regrets are confessed, and gossip is exchanged.
I have Twitter auto-post to my Facebook page, and I occasionally post things directly to Facebook as well. I've always noticed that the direct-to-Facebook approach generates far more likes, but I've never actually gone back and run the averages.
I'm usually pretty good about knowing which of my social media posts will create more excitement, but every once in a while I'll post something and be totally surprised at the response.
I'm most tired after I read, after I've just done a performance, but what I try to do is to fuel and eat a really healthy meal before I perform. I want to have enough energy to talk to that last person.
I'm too nervous to eat before I go onstage, and I'll usually eat out after the performance or when I get home at midnight.
