1
The interesting thing about the script, I think, it seemed to me anyway, that it wasn't a predominant feature, his disability.
2
I was just struck by,
3
more than anything else, by his anger at the way in which he was perceived and misunderstood sometimes,
4
and his desire that the record should be set straight.
5
And I felt he was a pioneer, in a way.
6
He was actually charting territory, which had never been charted before,
7
and I think my heroes have always been people that have actually ventured into that kind of territory,
8
and he never let up.
9
He continued to confront people, confronted his own fears, which takes huge courage, and he confronted other people's fears head on.
10
Is it more important that the role be interesting or the character be interesting?
11
I tend really to only work on things that I'm I have a kind of compulsion to do
12
but they are so varied yeah roles that we've seen you in
13
so far it certainly that they're certainly the things that most interest me tend to be
14
um at some distance from my own life and they tend to be at some
15
distance from the characters that have interested me before as well
16
You were going to be a cabinet maker at one stage, yes.
17
It's really just a coincidence that I'm not, I think, because during the year after I left school,
18
I was really more active in my pursuit of that.
19
I mean, I tried to find apprenticeships, and I was very fussy.
20
I was always very fussy about who I wanted to work with, and there was one designer craftsman in the country who I thought was extraordinary
21
and I just waited and he didn't have room in his workshops
22
and and he couldn't take on any more apprentices
23
and then in the end I just thought I'll try for one theatre school
24
and see what happens and that it had been a passion for years
25
but I'd rather in my last years at school I began to think
26
that the theatre profession was rather kind of suspect
27
and perhaps it is yeah and and so on and
28
so it was cabinet making
29
and by sheer coincidence the two possibilities happened at exactly the same time
30
and i just decided to to go to theater school do
31
you ever run up a little coffee table now no i
32
haven't laid my hands on on wood since since i stopped
33
and i i don't know why just because i i love doing it
34
so much i couldn't think of doing it as a hobby i suppose at the age of 12
35
when I kind of made up my mind I wasn't aware of the the less attractive side of the profession
36
and certainly by the time it came for me to choose
37
a direction to go in after I left school I began to be aware of it
38
and although I never doubted that I would enjoy the work I did have grave doubts about whether or not I'd
39
be able to live up to the way of life
40
it was something I had to try and although I have had periods of unemployment which weren't pleasant
41
it's always been worth it.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
