NEW YORK (AP) â€” You can catch up with Oprah Winfrey on TV, in the movies, in the pages of her magazine, at her production company, her multimedia offices â€” or in the tub.

``My bath is my sanctuary,'' she tells Newsweek magazine in its Jan. 8 issue. ``It's the place where I can wash off all the stuff of the day. I soak in a hot tub and put on a nice pair of pajamas.''

Speaking of pajamas, Winfrey has plenty.

``That's my thing! They help me separate from the day and relax. I have flannel and cashmere and silk, white and flowered. I love pajamas. ... I have a pajama collection. Dozens and dozens of pajamas.''

The celebrity has so much on her plate, it's hard for her to find time to relax.

Winfrey says she's taken on too many responsibilities, so she's going to stop teaching a leadership class with her longtime boyfriend, Stedman Graham, at Northwestern University.

Winfrey says she's swamped with her syndicated television show, her new magazine ``O'' and everything else.

She also plans to cut back her role in Oxygen Media, a New York-based cable and Internet company that targets women.
