1
Thank you lovely Meryl absolute pleasure to meet you
2
and New Zealand fans will be absolutely absolutely thrilled
3
that we're getting a chance to talk to you so thank you for your time.
4
Oh I'm so glad.
5
And now you're putting the movie out, you're touring the world and premiering Mamma Mia! all over the place.
6
It must be very exciting.
7
It is.
8
It's overwhelming because you realize that ABBA has fans right across the globe.
9
Someone told me that One of our biggest anticipated markets is Korea and Japan.
10
So, I mean, it's amazing.
11
Seeing you on the red carpet with all the other members together for the first time in such a long time, how was that?
12
Oh, that was a thrill.
13
Because we'd worked really closely with Benny and Bjorn, But I had never met
14
Frida or Agneta I met Frida in London at the London premiere and Anietta came to the Stockholm premiere.
15
And she was, she's the most elusive one.
16
She's the one who's stayed out of the spotlight most, I guess.
17
of all the band members but she was divine and so generous and and so
18
complimentary about the film and And I was really excited to see it in Stockholm because it was the first time
19
I've never seen it with an audience.
20
and to see it with an audience that included Agnetta and Frida was amazing.
21
I mean I just was sort of bursting.
22
Happiness.
23
It was a high point of my life, no question.
24
Well you're now part of the ABBA legacy now after the role of your daughter.
25
Yeah, I felt like an honorary ABBA girl, sort of.
26
I still am faux ABBA, but you know.
27
Close.
28
You certainly seem to be enjoying yourself on this film, Meryl, seriously.
29
You seem to be loving it.
30
Was it quite a fun production?
31
Colin said it was pretty awesome it was really really funny
32
Colin has said he he felt at certain moments he shouldn't be paid for it
33
but I I'm sure he doesn't mean that but he's a It was a great group of actors that Phyllida Lloyd,
34
our director, assembled.
35
She put together an amazingly interesting and talented uh, cast.
36
And I remember saying to her, In the earliest meeting I had with her, I said, you know, We can only do this.
37
We can really only do this because it's-- It's about...
38
living joyously and we can only do this if we really have fun And we really have fun doing it.
39
So I said, "Just get a bunch of great people and it'll happen." you know, and she did.
40
She really put together the most wonderful ebullient, witty cast.
41
And so we entertained each other on and off the set.
42
Another of your films I've loved recently was Prairie Home Companion.
43
You were obviously comfortable in front of microphones singing.
44
And did you approach the same way?
45
The two boys Dominic and Colin were saying the most terrifying thing for them was thinking, you know, we're not singing in the shower here, we're singing with the two guys from ABBA.
46
And they were pretty freaked.
47
How did you feel?
48
I was...
49
I was in intimidated in the very beginning when I first met Benny.
50
I met him in New York and he flew in on his own jet and sat down at a piano and said,
51
"Well, will you just play through all the songs?" And I thought, God.
52
because I realized that this was a little bit of an audition, you know.
53
If it didn't go well, I'd probably be booted off the project, but...
54
We sat there and sang all this music for two hours and just had,
55
I was walking on air when I left that meeting with him and after that Because of his generous—have you met him?
56
His generous spirit, you know?
57
he gave us the feeling that we could do no wrong and so With that permission, the songs became ours and That was...
58
That was a great gift of his.
59
If you add that, these are really strong female characters
60
and the character of Donna when I first saw it on stage at the West End, it really was owning a certain femininity that's very now, if you know what I mean.
61
And then you bring these Abba songs and you think, you know, they were written in the 70s and they're now and they are really empowering.
62
Yeah, they are.
63
I mean, it's just a...
64
they don't write many things about three middle -aged women in the central roles, you know.
65
uh, putting Mr. Darcy and James Bond to the side.
66
I mean just the cheek of that.
67
It's fabulous.
68
They seemed fine that they were marginalised.
69
They were quite happy about it.
70
Yeah, they like being sexual objects, I'm sure.
71
This seems to be a good year for the Chip, but Meryl, I mean, Sex
72
and the City just blew the box office out of the window and studio execs are kind of sitting up and going, "Oh, we can make movies that are
73
so completely targeted towards women." Do you think Mamma Mia is a similar kind of phenomenon?
74
I think that studio executives will never learn this lesson until they're all
75
Half of them are women and then Bill already know that.
76
Yeah.
77
It's always, every year, it comes as a surprise to the executives that Last year,
78
two years ago, Devil Wears Prada took them just completely by surprise.
79
They couldn't believe that it was such a big hit.
80
Sex and the City has taken them.
81
When are they going to learn this?
82
You know?
83
Same with, Mamma Mia had a budget about this big compared to Spiderman, Batman any of the men.
84
films, though the budget is overflowing and it's always forthcoming, no problem.
85
And you've got to blow stuff up.
86
It's expensive isn't it?
87
Blowing stuff up.
88
Yes, but a musical is expensive too,
89
but we managed to do it really you know, on a diet. So Yeah.
90
I'm hopeful that they'll learn that there will be a market for these entertainments.
91
Thank you.
92
They seem to learn, need to learn the lesson every year.
93
With a woman with such an extraordinary resume as yours, Meryl, do you find you are getting those scripts
94
that are coming across that you are still finding appealing with roles that you really want to take?
95
You know, I've never worked more in my whole life than I have this last year.
96
I can't really figure out why.
97
but I've made six films this year.
98
I didn't do that when I was 29 or 34 or young and hot and happening.
99
I don't know why it is, but, and they've been very big sort of difficult roles.
100
It's .
101
sort of mystifying.
102
and very gratifying
103
but I'm not looking looking the gift horse in the mouth you know could be a real drought next year.
104
No, unlikely.
105
Now we haven't had you down to New Zealand yet
106
but apparently Sam Neill's been threatening to get you down is that right?
107
No I've been threatening Sam Neill that I'll show up on his doorstep because I heard about the vineyard.
108
It's a good one too.
109
You make some very very good Pinot Noir.
110
Yes, no I've always wanted to
111
to visit New Zealand and I thought I was going to be able to get there on this trip.
112
But now we have to rush back because they've moved are opening up in New York.
113
Oh right, so from here it's on to the onslaught in the States.
114
Yes.
115
So it opens down under before it does in New York.
116
Nice.
117
We'll be grateful for that.
118
So are you taking your family along to the opening in New York?
119
Yes.
120
My family hasn't seen it yet.
121
My middle daughter saw it in London because she's working in Rome this summer.
122
So she came up for the opening and she was dancing in the aisle.
123
So I'm hopeful that the others will be pleased, but you never know.
124
There's great disapproval, especially from the youngest ones.
125
Disapproval?
126
That doesn't sound fair.
127
Well, it's the spandex they're all afraid of.
128
Right.
129
But, you know.
130
You have to live with these things.
131
You do.
132
So Donna and the Dynamise isn't going on tour anytime soon?
133
I don't think so.
134
Meryl, thank you so much.
135
You've been an excellent delight.
136
Thank you.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
