“And so, as far as I’m concerned, just to make it easier for myself, I would go to my room often and simply, because otherwise, of course, I’m a very sociable person, very happy,” she added. “But it just makes it harder for your brain and body to jump in and out, back and forth.”
Stause also said she had to get back into the swing of using her acting skills, which was like riding a “bicycle” — albeit “a little rusty.”
“Of course, there are certain things that just take a little reminding of your brain,” the realtor told PEOPLE. “As far as just memorizing the lines, I felt a bit rusty at first. I worked in soap operas for 15 years, so before I could almost have a photographic memory. That’s not the case anymore.
