An early riser? I’m up by 8am to make a pot of tea and read with the dog while my husband is sleeping. Even locked-down in the isolated Catskill Mountains I’ve found I need to make time to be alone. Living in the middle of nowhere also means I can pee outside, which I love. I’ll take the dog out and we both have one together. Do you cook? I hate ‘brunch’; it’s a weird, lazy word that makes me think of white privilege. I like to make vegan sausages and baked beans on a Sunday – it’s my concession to the b-word. Any lockdown hobbies? I made a loaf of bread, and then thought, ‘What the hell am I doing?’ I don’t even eat bread normally. I’ve been painting benches and running around with barrels full of rocks making paths and drywalls. And I’ve started power-washing the decking, which is amazing. Spraying away gunk is spiritually cleansing. Do you work? My love affair with Zoom started lustful, but currently we’re struggling, so on Sunday I’ll avoid her. I might try to write in the treehouse – my book is four years late. I spent one afternoon wandering through the woods wielding a knife and eating vegan meatloaf, pretending it was a dead rabbit. I was recording a play for the National Theatre of Scotland on my phone. I can’t imagine what anyone who saw me doing that was thinking. A special Sunday? The 1998 Tony Awards. It was my first, and I won, which was epic. After the show I went on a massive bender, and held a competition with my friend Andrew to see who could snog the most people. I was ruthless in my victory, getting well into the mid-teens. I suppose we won’t be having another one of them for a while. The perfect Sunday night? Entertaining at home. I’ll cook a vegan roast – a quaint novelty for Americans – which stretches out into the evening. By 5pm everyone is toasted, and we go upstairs to the terrace and piano and I’ll pound away at Part of Your World from The Little Mermaid. People are either ashamed to know the song or think it’s tacky. I’ll put you on the spot and you will sing whether you like it or not.
