MIRIAM MARGOLYES INTERVIEW (Mark Lawson, 2013)

[@benphilips9918]

You feel she could be your best friend in an instant. A constant delight, I watch her interviews with Graham Norton over and over again. One never gets bored! What a gift...thank you Miriam...

[@jeanash9502]

She is a true gift to the performing arts amd fun

[@fernwhite7523]

She is an inspiration for all women. Her self confidence is amazing. She is the most honest person. She never gets upset about any failures that she has had, she just picks herself up and starts all over again and takes the lessons that she has learned and moves on. She is a great woman and ahead of her time. Wow

[@LeslieEvans-f5g]

agree

[@downyhead]

She is amazing, thank you Miriam for the laughs, for the passion and the honesty. You are a star 🌟

[@arlenemulqueeney7891]

Thank you UTube. If not for this AP I would not hav had the opportunity to meet this wonderful honest human . She is a bright, witty beautiful personality . A British Treasure. You go Miriam.

[@wendypaleschi6628]

A very precious lady. So intelligent, interesting, kind, loyal to her many many friends. She is painfully honest, she depreciates herself. I think she is beautiful, it beams from her. I would love so much to meet her, but, however much time I could have would never be enough. She should definitely be given a damehood. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@shaffersenglish]

Magnificent Miriam! So intelligent, so witty, so entertaining, and so honest. And above all, such a wonderful use of words... beautiful phrases with Shakesperian resonances ...

[@susancarolan153]

I agree entirely. xxxSusan 👍🏼🕊️ Paris 😷☮️🙏🏻

[@SuperSeekerofPeace]

If I could meet a famous person, I would choose Miriam M. She is so honest, complex, and talented. Watching her work, she is such a delight! ❤️

[@beverlyastorga6825]

Agreed

[@Tidybitz]

Have been a fan of Miriam's for years and have seen her on chat shows etc, but this is the first serious interview I've seen her do. Wonderful!

[@ninjawarrior1463]

Listen to her Desert Island Discs

[@susanpaul4752]

The REAL thing! Enormous charm, intelligence and talent. MM is a joy to watch and listen to....and so well spoken. NOT a "like, awesome, journey, you know, right", or other code words for those lacking a personal vocabulary which is so commonly afflicting all classes in the USA....not to mention the ever present errors in personal pronouns, ie: I and me. American standards of "acceptable English" are in the gutter, too often. Bravo Miriam M. and other Brits who maintain a level spoken communication of which to be proud .

[@preggioperson]

This is a gifted person, who is a joy to listen to.

[@lindadeal3344]

God bless you Miriam, you are unique and very much appreciated and loved by many people aound the world!!

[@spencermoore2468]

She has the ability to put anyone in their place with a defining confidence yet she's sweet, humble and fantastically funny. She's a true one off ! I absolutely love her xxx

[@daveberry6599]

It's the fact she loves to make people laugh that makes me love her. She's absolutely awesome.

[@carolcaley6860]

Crazy about her since I saw her on Graham Norton with Will.I.am. She was a delight and the chemistry between them was FUN. I have looked for them over Utube ever since.

[@skippyoz3366]

Yes Miriam and William was so so good and they walked up during the show I watched several times it's easy to find on KZbin. I googled her often to see what she's up to great human being

[@merlinmediagroup]

@@skippyoz3366 That interview was brilliant. I think Will.i.am is far smarter than he comes across in passing and, although he is prone to saying some quite pretentious things, I don't think he takes himself too seriously, at least not all the time - much like Miriam.

[@lindadeal3344]

Every time she appeared on that show has been so enjoyable and she is wonderful and very funny so damn funny and kept me laughing so hard and people asked why I was so amused and happy...she has that effect on me and others as she is so quick and funny!!

[@lindadeal3344]

She and Will I Am and then her not recognizing Prince William as he lost so much hair!!

[@antoncannon7279]

My love for this lady is endless!!! I would love to meet her! I could listen to her talk for hours!!! Such an interesting mind an a beautiful character 🙌🏼❤️🙏🏼 Bless her

[@bhognathshivapurapu1277]

An excellent actress, with Razor sharp intellect who speaks her mind and is a delight to listen to. All her conversations are truly enjoyable.

[@clearlake3492]

Couldn't have put it better myself.

[@beng6080]

I totally love her! The way she looks at herself, her life and the world... wow!!

[@RuthShultz47]

Miriam Margolyes, as always, is wonderful; absolutely truthful, thoughtful, and matter-of-fact. I think she is one of the brightest truth-tellers in the English theatre. There is no one else in theatre that is as interesting, funny, and honest as Miriam. She is absolutely the most engaging person and probably the best character actress working anywhere in the world. God bless her indeed!

[@stackersmbe852]

A national treasure, she should be made a Dame!

[@pauldevehers394]

She so definitely indeed should...

[@jetsofaqua2206]

She’s still alive lol

[@DiAllinson]

Yes people are given damehoods and knighthoods while still alive generally

[@davidohora5454]

I agree

[@yraidagildez479]

Amen to that

[@katherinehunter5789]

I could watch and listen to her all day long.

[@liagugushvili3017]

Miriam is intelligent, natural, honest, she is a great gift. I watch her very often

What wonderful interview! Thank you for posting this! 🙂

[@zenkuriyama8516]

An amazing interview. Love her.

[@adnanamkhanbayno8393]

One of the very few human beings who represent humanity in its best self-evolving and self-perfecting. Until now I never thought this was possible, but she proved me wrong, for which I am so grateful to her. Amazing homo sapiens. I am jealous for she makes highlights my deep-rooted shortcomings. Thank you Ms Margolyes for being, and for being you.

[@hrachpalyan]

She is full of life, I adore her ❤️Because as she said she is adorable .

[@Star-iw1mu]

What a Superior Actress. The rythm the pauses the beautiful diction such a fine intelligence- truly a treasure and should be Officially recognized 💎💎💎

"I don't have a musical voice" - she said with such melody.

[@leofee]

This is a great interview! I feel like he asked very good questions that brought out some parts of Miriam I hadn't seen in other interviews and he seemed very polite and pleasant too.

[@annadw6086]

[@misswalespauline]

Yes , she should be made a dame.

[@sarahjones-jf4pr]

Deb Debswords What in heaven's name is underrated about Miriam?? the word underrated is such a joke when it comes to an actress of her calibre.

[@operaforlife6551]

@@sarahjones-jf4pr Well, for instance, she has very few leading roles to her name, when she clearly deserves them imo.

[@Jogilusz]

"I'm adorable." Yes Miram, you certainly are. Such a delight. It's always a pleasure watching her

[@Ma-thespacebetween]

I love love love this woman. I wish she was my grandmother, mother, sister, aunt, confidante and friend - and nightly dinner companion. I just adore her. "Making people laugh is like cream cakes - it's gorgeous!" This sums the feeling up perfectly. MM is such a treasure xx

[@mozartsbumbumsrus7750]

I'm so proud and chuffed to be regarded by Miriam as a "real pal". Best friends and near neighbours as well. She offered to perform in my idea proposal for a concert of mine where I would perform Sussmeyer's clarinet Concerto followed by his teacher's Concerto and the story of how it came about and we'd do it in costume. It remains an unrealised project due to penury on my part. Any money-bags out there want to make it happen?

Fascinating human, wish she lived closer to get to know. My time spent listening was was well spent. Many ideas to think about.

[@ladybug5859]

Thank you Mr. Lawson for this serious interview because it's the first time I've really gotten a feeling for who she is as a human being. I like and respect what she said about Palestine and the situation there. I briefly participated with a group in San Francisco of Jewish people who were trying to get a change of heart of the Israelis toward the Palestinians but to no avail and then I went with another group that was half Jewish and half Gentile-- which is what I am-- to Washington to Lobby Congress to try to have them put their efforts toward having a change of heart of the Israelis toward the Palestinians but that also was to no avail, athough they thanked us for coming.. I was with a Jewish friend in Santa Barbara and we went to the weekly Jewish get together where you would have lunch and chat and it was open to everyone--gentile or Jew-- & she spoke her mind regarding Palestine & the inhumane treatment of the Palestinians and she was asked to leave and so we left. I have also been there and I met Israelis & Palestinians and I will say it was the Palestinians that invited me into their home and fed me and introduced me to the multi-generational family and it was not the Israelis who offered me that type of hospitality. ACTUALLY they offered me NO hospitality and of course that could be because that is NOT their land historically as for 2,000 years the Greeks called it Palestine and the brief presence there of Jews does not make it their land in any way shape or form. Nor is it the British right to give another people's land to another people. I was surprised at what Miriam said but in retrospect I am not because she is a very clear thinking person with deep feelings. YOU have to possess both in order to respond as she did. To respond as the Israelis do and as many American Jews do you need to ONLY be in possession of one thing --either a mind or heart --but not both. When used in isolation, a mind alone or a ❤ alone-- the human being is incomplete. I realize this interview was done some time ago but I surely hope that she got to act and some of the plays she mentioned,as well as Shakespeare, because I think she would be marvelous. SHE is a jewel that has NOT truly been carefully curated by a master gemologist and hence her talents have never been tapped to the degree that they should be in order to show her brilliance.
