1
Emma, something I wanted to ask you about that's, difficult and challenging because It's something you spoke about earlier as to being such a big part of your life,
2
an important part of your life. But...
3
recently, There's been...
4
so many conversations and comments directly from JK Rowling, whether it's her saying she'd never forgive you for your views,
5
or the fact that when she was asked what ruins the movies for her, she named yourself and...
6
some of your co -stars and I imagine that's an extremely difficult thing when you've been a part of someone's world, when you've felt connected to their work.
7
and then for it now to kind of BF4 180.
8
And for someone to publicly say these things that can be quite or extremely hurtful actually, How do you think about that?
9
I really don't believe that that by...
10
having had that experience and holding The love and support and views that I have mean that I can't and don't
11
Treasure.
12
Jo.
13
and the person that I...
14
that I.. had personal experiences with.
15
I will never believe that one negates the author.
16
and that my experience of that person I don't.
17
get to keep and cherish.
18
I come back to our earlier thing, like I just don't think these things are either or.
19
I think...
20
It's my deepest wish that I hope people who don't agree with my opinion will love me,
21
and I hope I can keep loving people who I don't necessarily share the same opinion with.
22
And I think, That's a very, very important thing.
23
way for me that I need to be able to move through life.
24
I just really, I guess I,
25
to circle back around, I really do believe and having conversations and that those are really important and that
26
I don't know.
27
I I guess where I've landed is it's not so much what we say or what we believe,
28
but very often how we say it, that's really important.
29
And that's really frustrating and not what you want to hear when you're really angry and upset with someone.
30
um But...
31
I don't know, I just see this world right now where we seem to be giving permission for this kind of like...
32
throwing out of people or that people are disposable and i i just think that's I will always think that's wrong.
33
I always, I just believe that, No one is...
34
No one's disposable.
35
and everyone as far as possible,
36
whatever the conversation is, should and can be treated with at the very least.
37
dignity and respect.
38
Thank you.
39
Thank you for challenging us and pushing us.
40
Yeah, it takes a lot.
41
I think that's what we're all being challenged to do is try and hold two truths at once.
42
And those two truths don't have to be...
43
complimentary but they They can stand at the same time.
44
Yeah.
45
They can honor.
46
I think the thing I'm most upset about is that, a conversation, was never made possible.
47
So you remain open for that dialogue?
48
Yeah, and I always will.
49
I believe in that.
50
I believe in that completely.
51
um, I believe in that completely.
52
I just don't.
53
Yeah, I just don't want to say anything that like continues to weaponize a really like toxic debate and conversation, which is...
54
maybe why I don't Well, it is why I don't comment or like continue to comment,
55
not because I don't care about her or about the issue,
56
but because I just, the way that the conversation is being had feels really painful to me. And so, That's why...
57
that's why that decision.
58
Yeah, I really appreciate that mindset and deeply, deeply feel like.
59
if people are challenged to go there themselves like it takes a lot to think
60
that way and feel that way yeah but it's it's what it's what healing really requires across you know, around the world.
61
And I can't imagine how many young people who look up to you
62
and people who look up to you will feel the same way to recognize that that's how we engage, that's what we look for.
63
It's not that we're trying to make everything pretty and perfect.
64
No, no. It's that we're willing to engage in an uncomfortable conversation.
65
Yes.
66
Her kindness and words of encouragement and that steadfastness. That.
67
And also, honestly, just as a young woman,
68
to for her to have written that character created that world given me an opportunity which,
69
to be honest, barely exists in the history of English literature.
70
You know, Thank you.
71
you How can I...
72
There's just no world in which I could ever cancel her out or cancel that out. for anything.
73
It has to remain true.
74
It is true.
75
And this is where this holding of these, I just don't know what else to do other than hold
76
these two seemingly incompatible things together at the same time and just...
77
hope maybe they will one day resolve or co -join themselves, and maybe accept that they never will, but that they can both still be true. And...
78
I can love her.
79
I can know she loved me.
80
I can be grateful to her.
81
I can know the things that she said are true. And...
82
that can be this whole other thing.
83
And my job feels like to just hold.
84
just to hold all of it. But...
85
The bigger thing is just...
86
what she's done will never be taken away from me.
87
Thanks for saying such a powerful example.
88
Thank you.
89
Yeah, that beautiful F.
90
Scott Fitzgerald quote that, "The sign of a first -rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposing ideas at the same time,
91
and still retain the ability to function." He goes on to say, "One should therefore be able to see...
92
that the world is hopeless, but still be determined to make it otherwise. And it's like, that's...
93
F. Scott Fitzgerald said that?
94
Wow, he ran deeper than I knew.
95
Wow, that's incredible.
96
That's incredible.
97
Yeah, it's one of my favorites.
98
Wow, well done you for remembering that second part.
99
Wow, you've made me like Fitzgerald a lot.
100
I mean, I liked him, don't get me wrong.
101
Yeah, yeah.
102
To me, it's one of my favorite ideas.
103
Wow, that's so good.
104
Yeah, it's so good.
105
That's so good.
106
Yeah.
107
Emma, for someone who has tried to stay out of the public eye,
108
you've still been vocalist about causes you believe in -things that you stand for.
109
- Yes.
110
And that always seems to get-- attention and reaction.
111
And so when you shared online your solidarity for Palestine, the former Israeli UN Ambassador,
112
Danny Danon, called you an anti -Semite.
113
And his tweet said, "10 points from Gryffindor for being an anti -Semite." What goes through your mind when you see that?
114
This happened a few years ago now.
115
I think what concerns me at the time was the way that that label was being used.
116
And I think even now,
117
I see that playing out where people don't feel like they can talk about what's happening.
118
safely this duality created where we don't seem able to care about the victims of terrorism.
119
and care about the genocide that's happening in Palestine at the same time.
120
Both things have to be allowed to be true.
121
You have to be allowed to care about 50 ,000 civilians dying, 17 ,000 of which are children. And...
122
care deeply.
123
about the victims of this awful terrorist attack.
124
I appreciate you sharing that and...
125
Yeah, it seems like that belief system you have in yes and this and together, it kind of runs through so many areas of your life.
126
Personal and beyond.
127
Yes, I think that's true.
128
I think that's true.
129
I hope that you've felt you've been able to
130
share the parts of yourself and the version of yourself that you wanted to and intended to?
131
I hope so.
132
I feel very hot and I feel very hot and I feel a little bit like, is this room even real?
133
Like, are we, is this like a Goddard play where we're like in some sort of existential room that doesn't exist anymore?
134
Honestly, I feel a little bit like that, then yes, I do feel that way.
135
And I, or like, I've done everything I can in a context that's still,
136
I can still see cameras and lights and I know there's a person behind me, but I feel to the extent to which.
137
i i can humanly do that i've shown up for myself
138
and for you in a way and the invitation
139
that this podcast is and the work that you do in the world i've answered that invitation so and I feel
140
I feel good about that.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
