What Keeps Kim Cattrall up at Night

I am a true faithful fan of Turner Classic Movies. It was such a bond for me and my mom when I was a kid to stay up late and watch The Million Dollar Movie [TV series featuring classic films]. Everyone else would be in bed, and she and I would be on the couch watching these great films unfold: noirs, musicals, dramas, comedies. She had such a wide knowledge and vocabulary of films, and I really got my love of entertainment from her.

What she won't compromise on

The number one thing is sleep. If you don't have enough sleep, you're going to have a tough time.

Getting addicted to unplugging

I always wanted to “go there and do that.” Now I want to do less on the weekends: talk to friends, see an old movie, be a bit of a couch potato. Stay in bed a little longer or all day in my pajamas. Just really unplug — which is hard to do because when your work is going well, you're tempted to do more.

Leaving the fitness frenzy behind

I'm a child of the Jane Fonda revolution of working out, but now I realize I don't have to bang myself up as much. I do a lot of stretches and long walks. I love to swim, especially in lakes. It's more about being easier on myself at this point.

Where you'll find her

I love, love the outdoors. I have a house on Vancouver Island, which is my passion. We're resurrecting an old property there and making it ours.

On filming Filthy Rich in New Orleans

It's a great city — a loving, welcoming city. The weather is fantastic. I just have to get used to coming out of the house and having my glasses get all steamed up.

Homegirl vibes

I don't like to live in hotels. I like to rent an apartment or a little house that has a patio so I can have some kind of grounding.

Going full tourist, and proud of it

The first thing I do when I get to a new place is take one of those bus tours to get the lay of the land. I'm up high and I can see everything around me. If I'm in a car, I can't see as much. I love someone telling me the history of their city — anecdotes about what happened where and when. An old churchyard here, a ghost over there.

Superpower confession

My curiosity has always been my saving grace and my superpower. I still find such wonder in learning something: a recipe or a spice I never knew of, or more about the New Orleans accent, even. It's so beautiful!
