Los Angeles, Jan 12 : Hollywood actress Jodie Foster has shared that she goes into therapy every time she finishes an acting gig. The actress said that she does it because she becomes a "total couch potato" when the job is done.

When Iâ??m making a movie, I canâ??t stay on my routine. I have four months of working 15 hours a day, and all I do is sleep through the weekend. I donâ??t talk to anyone. I donâ??t know whatâ??s happening in the news. I just have to look at the character and what Iâ??m headed towardâ??.

She added, "When the movieâ??s over, Iâ??m like, 'Thank God thatâ??s overâ??. I go back to sleep. I do nothing. I become a total couch potato. I get really bored. Then I go into therapy, and it all starts all over again. Itâ??s like a one-year cycleâ??.

As per â??Female First UKâ??, Foster went on to reveal she's obsessed with naps. She said, "I admit I like taking naps. Sleeping is necessary, but a nap is just perfection. The perfect timing for a nap is 45 minutes or an hour, but two hours is pretty damn goodâ??.

It comes after Foster, began her career as a child actor -recently admitted she's doing the "best work" of her career now she's in her 60s.
