“I burn the candle so hard,” she remarked.

The Bugonia actress went on to say, “What I guess I’m always trying to figure out is, ‘What do normal people do? How much rest do normal people get?’ And then try to make that implemented into my life because I work so much, so crazy, I’m always traveling. I’m a machine.”

As the actress wrapped her filming of the Yorgos Lanthimos-directed film and went straight to the set of Irish Blood to audition actors being a producer, Silverstone admitted she has found relaxation for a while.

“I was kept a little bit torn between everything so I wasn’t as relaxed. I was more pulled in a lot of directions,” she revealed.

“(I am) really, really loving the mornings where I wake up and get my son off to school, make his breakfast and his lunch. Then I go on a walk with my dog, and then I work all day. It’s still busy, but it’s not insanity.”

It is pertinent to mention that Silverstone is mom to son Bear whom she shares with ex-husband Christopher Jarecki.
