Miriam Margolyes: The Waterstones Interview
Ойын-сауық
The cause of more dropped jaws than almost any other entertainer, Miriam Margolyes shared a lifetime of hilarious incident in her first memoir, This Much Is True. Thankfully, she has plenty more to say, and in Oh Miriam! we have more hilarity, but also reflection, emotion, and a healthy dose of passion too; all of which is on display in our exclusive conversation with her.

How to speak truth to power without toxicity. Miriam could teach many people across the spectrum to engage and criticise, honestly and freely. We could all learn something from her. A lovely interview.

'speak truth to power'.🤦 Did you HAVE to?? That's just the kind of phrase she would despise. As for 'across the spectrum?? I can tell you're a child with little real life experience and are happy to suck at the teat of the latest social media phrases thinking in your delusion that it makes you look intelligent and educated. IT DOESNT, and in fact quite the opposite and a bore, of which Miriam would wholeheartedly agree with as she is a Cambridge graduate in English.

Maybe she would, maybe she wouldn't. Anyway, it is the sentiment that counts, not the phraseology. @@adoculos4521

Being outspoken doesn't make her right. She is a good actor not a guru.

she's funny.. and i guess sometimes one gets into a groove, and esont expect their full self. xxx
Miriam. Not that you’ll ever read this …. You always give me a belly laugh. When I’m a bit off, I happily listen to a mashup of your many hysterical best bits on the Graham Norton show. I could listen to your stories, and your humor, great intellect and straight ahead comments about life, and the obscenity of world politics. You are such a gift to the many.

I brought a cameo from her and I told her about how many of us (like you) are encouraged and lifted by her humor and good nature! She was sweet and said thanks! She said a gift to her admirers would be to, of course, read Charles dickens in her honor ♥️

I am she and I am so humbled you remembered ours secret rendezvous
She's a case! Extremely intelligent and a brilliant actress.A lovely person
Miriam is so authentic and such a gift in this industry, her command of Dickens is unsurpassable.... and her inner child is delightfully naughty! I love her curiosity of life and people and her want to learn. At her heart, she seeks to connect and find the good... which is a credit to her.
Miriam is an absolute treasure ❤
One of the few famous people I would love to have a chat with, or just listen to ramble on and on , she is a very inspiring and no nonsense kinda sort of woman. ❤
A wonderful lady with a great sense of humour
How can you not love her? Miriam, you are a true gem.Bless you. 💖
Love her impression of her dad, the accent is spot on
A refreshing perspective on self. Why not be proud of owning the fact that you want to be noticed. I believe this is what makes Miriam so dynamic and refreshing. She does strength and vulnerability interchangeably so well.

do any actors not want to be noticed? maybe if youre a very good actor and your family is starivng or has cancer treatments youre paying for.. otherwise why would you do it?
Brilliant interview. One of the best i've seen her give. Her interview with the former LBC presenter Steve Allan, was very good too. Miriam is indeed a thought provoking character. An absolute treasure 💎 of inspiration delivered with such eloquence 😊
I absolutely love her
Miriam is glorious and hers fans love and admire her talent, and sense of humour. Don't ever change!
I enjoy Miriam in films, in interviews and as a guest on British talk shows. She's direct, funny, and self deprecating. I imagine there are more people who like her than who criticize her earthiness.

We do NOT!! Two faced, leftie, fascist.
Delightful Miriam. She reminds me of my beloved Nanny at the same age. She is so self aware, confident, honest and down to earth. She is real. Hilarious and compassionate. Dear Mariam, don't fear death. Our time, when it comes, will be just the thing to go on to a new chapter! xo
What a Cracking Interview with Miriam, the best I’ve ever heard with her. She’s my favourite actress and I wish I could meet her someday. Miriam is a superb actress and I’m at a loss to understand why she has been passed over when the Honours are handed out, she should be a Dame, she deserves to be in that vaulted group of elite actresses.
The " wheel me in " comment made there be laughter out loud. Thanks dear Miriam ❤
What an amazing interview! Now I love Miriam even more. The interviewer is very good :)
Love from Australia. We love this funny lady. 😂❤
I must get her book . She is a national treasure

Ditto!
I adore Miriam and I am a huge fan of her brilliant work. I believe she would make a very impressive Nanny Og if someone were to make a movie about one of Terry Pratchett's books that feature the witches. I think that part was written for her. Miriam Margoyles is the epitome of what I deem a true preffesional character actress. I love her personality to bits..my most favourite part of her is her realness..she is so down to earth and genuine that I believe I would feek totally comfortable in her presence.❤❤❤
Miriam Margolyes is one of my all-time favourite people. I’ve never heard her talk anything but perfectly frank wisdom and sense. I was fortunate enough to see her live Dickens show many years ago in Australia. The highlight was the time she spent after the show just chatting with the audience. The dubbed version of “Monkey” was a cult favourite in my childhood, so learning that she had been the voice of Tripitaka just cemented my admiration for her talent. She is a gift to humankind❣️ 🙏
You’re already as good as them and more, Miriam, as you are Xx and thank you for telling us about how your parents felt about your career, that has helped me to hear that, you are a force and energy Xx
What a lovely, informed, witty and considered interview. Kudos to both. A delightful spectacle. Thank you.
I just love her!
I love Miriam! She's so genuine and funny.
I absolutely love Miriam ❤ honest and kind and truthful and a wonderful lady in everything she does ❤
What an absolute legend love Miriam Margoyles 😊
If you watch Ladies in lavender it proves 100% that you ARE definitely, absolutely 100% as important as Judy and Maggie and all the others ❤xxx
She is one of the most fascinating people I’ve ever seen. She’s honest, unapologetic, curious and a fucking excellent actress. Brava!
Oh Miriam, you are up there with Judi and Maggie in my book!
Absolutely: you are bloody great, Miriam 🤩
This lady is a total legend. I admire Marian's honesty, kindness, opinions and talent.
Wonderful. I didn't know she was bringing out another book. I loved This much is True. I love Miriam, a beautiful soul.
What a wonderful lady ❤
Read Miram"s book and loved her honesty !! A lovely human being ... Inspiring who believes in the Truth . Funny too .. She makes me smile and laugh
She is delightful!❤
She’s such a delight, I honestly feel my heart soul when she chuckles. There should be more people like her ♥️
Love Miriam. She talks so much sense.
Even when she’s being foul mouthed she sounds so eloquent. I could listen to her all day 💞
She is very interesting - and lucky with her interviewer who is excellent!
i simply love her💞💞
oh!! I love her!
Margolyes has balls. Continued success... 🌈🍀😎
What a fantastic Lady 🎉😊
A lovely interview, I'm glad I came across this video. Miriam is certainly a great character actress, one of, if not my favourite. I always feel it's a shame she hasn't done more main stream stuff on film and TV.

I agree a really thoughtful and warm interview with the wise and wonderful Miriam.🙏🌈❤
Damehood for Miriam x
An amazing human who manages to combine truth with kindness so brilliantly. Those who throw insults on social media should have mandatory courses in how to be honest with humanity like Miriam.
When I left school and started work in London, I was amazed to find streets that had been named in some of Dicken's work. Being original names and often rather strange, I had no idea they actually existed! ❤ XXX
Bouquets to the interviewer. Nice job. Thanks Miriam for being you ❤❤❤

Miriam, you have warmed my heart. Your two words on friendship - Loyalty and friendship are the most important things to me and you are the first person that I have heard utter them. Thank you.

Isn’t she just wonderful? It sounds like her dad was a Scot, she does the accent justice.

I think it would have been good to see the interviewer with Miriam on the same shot to see his reactions at the same time as you can hear him chuckling almost all the time. :))

If you ever want your mind blown by M.M's character voice range, listen to her reading Bleak House, Charles Dickens, or any other of his books. She's out of this world!
I love her i be happy to be on desert island with her

"Someone's got to do better than this mob"! 🙏👍😃💚
