00:06İzlediğiniz için teşekkür ederim.
00:30İzlediğiniz için teşekkür ederim.
01:00Of course.
01:01Good luck, Barry.
01:03Hello.
01:04Hello.
01:04And welcome to the Assembly.
01:06Thank you for having me.
01:08Our collective of autistic, neurodivergent and learning disabled interviewers.
01:13Our rules are, no subject is out of bounds.
01:18No.
01:18No question is off the table and all might happen.
01:23Please tell us who you are.
01:25My name is Anna Maxwell-Martin.
01:28I'm an actor.
01:29Do a bit of advocacy as well as my spare time.
01:32But mostly acting and mumming.
01:34Very nice to have you here today, Anna.
01:36So you're in your motherland as well?
01:39Yeah, motherland was a big part of my life.
01:41Would you be in Strictly?
01:43No.
01:44We're going to start with a question from Nicola.
01:51Hi.
01:51Hi, Nicola.
01:52Hello.
01:52How much are you getting paid for this?
02:02I'm not being paid for this.
02:04How do you know?
02:05If I say it?
02:07No.
02:08Okay.
02:10Can you eat a roll or a bat?
02:14That's in the area of sandwiches, isn't it?
02:19Yes, I think I could, if it was very plain.
02:22What about ketchup?
02:23Yeah.
02:24I don't agree with ketchup.
02:26Thank you.
02:28Thank you, Nicola.
02:30Next, we're going to hear from Jamal.
02:33Hey, you all right?
02:34Hi, Jamal.
02:36How are you? You good?
02:37I'm good. How are you?
02:37I'm good. I just came from Nottingham today.
02:40Did you on the train?
02:40Yeah.
02:41This morning?
02:42Yeah.
02:42That was early.
02:43I know, I know.
02:44Yeah, visit sometime.
02:46I will, I will.
02:48Okay.
02:49Have you ever used your acting skills in real life
02:52to maybe hide an aspect of yourself?
02:58Yes, I definitely can put on more of a show with people
03:04than I would feel naturally
03:07to be comfortable in a social situation.
03:11I have also used my acting skills
03:14when I got into a spot of bother at an airport.
03:16I didn't have the right ticket,
03:18so I did a lot of crying.
03:20Why?
03:20And pretending I was sort of having a breakdown.
03:23So they'd let me on the plane.
03:24Oh, okay.
03:25That's cool.
03:26Yeah.
03:27Yeah.
03:27Well, I just went, hey, I really went to it for it.
03:31It was in Singapore,
03:33so I was a long way from home.
03:37Yeah, so sometimes you have to, don't you?
03:39Get you out of a spot of bother.
03:41Yeah.
03:42Yeah, I like that.
03:42It's cool.
03:43It's cool.
03:43Thank you.
03:44Thank you.
03:45Thank you.
03:47Our next question is from Essen.
03:50What do you think of method acting?
03:53Oh, perfect.
03:57I really think on acting,
04:00each to their own.
04:02Do you know what I mean?
04:02No judgement.
04:03Whatever you want to do to fulfil your job title,
04:06it's totally up to you.
04:08Yeah.
04:08I would probably say maybe more men
04:12are able to method act than women
04:13who are probably doing an online shop
04:16to the supermarket whilst also doing their job.
04:20Yeah.
04:21So, yeah.
04:23Thank you very much.
04:25Thank you.
04:26Ali, you're up next.
04:30Did you ever stand up for yourself
04:32when you were bullied in the industry?
04:34Yeah.
04:36Yes, I've always stood up for myself.
04:39Oh, that's good then.
04:40Yeah.
04:40I'm glad you did.
04:41Yes.
04:42That's kind of a short one.
04:44OK.
04:46How often do you laugh every day?
04:49Oh, I'm a big giggler.
04:50Big giggler.
04:51I think I laugh a lot.
04:53I laugh with and at my kids a lot.
04:56That's what I thought you would say.
04:58And luckily they laugh a lot,
04:59which I'm quite glad
05:02because, you know,
05:04they've had a tricky road
05:05and they still do laugh a lot.
05:06I laugh when something was funny.
05:09But you're a great laugher.
05:10Oh.
05:11She's good at that.
05:12Yeah, I find quite a lot funny.
05:15Yeah, OK.
05:17OK, thank you for your time, Anna.
05:20Thank you.
05:20Thank you, Annie.
05:21Mikey, you're up next.
05:23Go on, Mikey.
05:24Hi, Mikey.
05:25Hi, Anna.
05:25It's nice to meet you.
05:26You too.
05:27I just wanted to ask you a question about...
05:30It is about loss.
05:32Because I've recently just lost my dad.
05:36Oh, Mikey, I'm so sorry.
05:37So I just wanted to know
05:39how are your kids sort of dealing with their dad's loss?
05:43And do you have any tips?
05:44Can I give you a cuddle?
05:46You don't have to have a cuddle.
05:47Shall I just rub your arm?
05:49Mikey.
05:51I'm so sorry.
05:53Sorry.
05:54No, you don't need to...
05:54I'm just getting myself...
05:55Hey, you don't need to apologise.
05:58But how are your kids sort of getting through it?
06:00Well, thank you so much for asking.
06:02Because sometimes,
06:03and I don't know if you found this,
06:05people don't ask
06:07because they're scared, aren't they?
06:09Yeah.
06:10For my kids, it was four years ago.
06:15I give you all the strength I can muster
06:18because it's a long road
06:19where you need a lot of patience, don't you?
06:22Yeah.
06:24I'm lucky because I have this very nice support.
06:27They're very supportive.
06:28We all have your back, Mikey.
06:29Yes, we do.
06:30I think if it was, like, last year
06:32or any time before that,
06:34I wouldn't have got through it.
06:37Mikey, I'm so pleased you found your people.
06:41And, you know...
06:45He's looking down on me
06:46and he's proud of me.
06:47Oh, gosh, without a doubt.
06:49I'm quite grateful for that.
06:51So, my next question is,
06:53and it's a bit shady,
06:55so you might want to...
06:57Here we go.
06:57...muckle it down a bit.
06:59My next question is,
07:00I heard you met your lovely new man at work.
07:04Yes.
07:05Could you spill the tea on how you met?
07:07Yes, I will spill the tea.
07:09What do you mean, man?
07:10He is a cameraman.
07:11Really?
07:12Ooh-hoo-hoo!
07:14Is he one of these cameramen?
07:15He's not here right now.
07:17Oh, I thought that was him over there.
07:18Crazy!
07:21His name is Richard.
07:23We'd just come out of COVID and I was on a production
07:25and I thought,
07:26he looks nice.
07:29And so I made it clear to him
07:31that I thought he looked nice
07:33and then we went on a date.
07:36And you got married.
07:37He's nice.
07:37You get married to the cameraman.
07:39We're not married.
07:39I'm not marrying any of these cameramen.
07:41Are we not?
07:42LAUGHTER
07:44No, he's lovely.
07:45You're lovely.
07:46But I've got a dickie now,
07:48so I don't need you.
07:49Thank you very much.
07:50Thank you, thank you.
07:52Now we're going to hear from Julis.
07:57Hi.
07:58Hi.
07:59Bringing the energy down a bit again.
08:02I also lost my father four years ago
08:05when I was 16
08:06and I know how difficult losing a loved one
08:08at a young age can be or at any age.
08:11I was wondering if,
08:13because I know you also experienced that,
08:16do you feel it put you in a better position
08:18to comfort your children
08:20because you'd also been through that
08:22or was it maybe a more traumatic thing
08:24that you found quite difficult to get through
08:26while also being there for them?
08:29That's such a sweet and insightful question.
08:32Thank you so much for that question.
08:33Sorry, I missed your name.
08:34Julis.
08:35Julis.
08:35I'm so sorry.
08:36I'm sorry about what happened.
08:38It's really hard.
08:39Yeah.
08:46I think it's sort of a yes and a no.
08:51I lost my dad when I was 24
08:55and it was very, very hard
08:57and I felt very, very, very alone.
09:02So, that was that
09:03and then obviously it happened to my children
09:06and I think in a way I could understand better, of course,
09:08because I understand about loss.
09:11I really tried to be the best mum that I could for them.
09:18I think sometimes I failed in that
09:21and I, you know, sort of pick myself up and apologise
09:25and trundle on.
09:27I just think it's so individual, it's so hard.
09:31I can see how hard it is on you because Mikey's getting upset and we absolutely, you know, we all
09:37feel it.
09:39Do you know, I can say, I know this is a real cliche, it is, but I do think it's
09:43true.
09:44It has made me, like, bizarrely, such a positive, tenacious person
09:51and so actually in the end, it's been really fucking hard.
09:58I'm not going to lie to you, but it makes me, like, just smash the doors off of life.
10:07Yeah.
10:12So strong.
10:15We all got your backs.
10:19I'm going to check, see the children's text.
10:27Your daughter.
10:28So I just do worry about them a bit, so I check.
10:32I check a lot.
10:34So I do have to get somewhere, so I hope they are trying to get there.
10:37OK.
10:38And not lying in their beds.
10:40Oh, dear.
10:41Yeah.
10:41Now we're going to hear from Tomislav.
10:43Hello.
10:44My name is Tomislav Ivan,
10:48translated from Slavic Croat, Croatian into English, Thomas John.
10:52I'm diagnosed with autism, bipolar, and I'm morbidly obese.
10:57And I adore Celine Dion.
10:59Don't we all?
11:00She's a lovely person.
11:02Well, it would be a great honour for me if you read my poem.
11:07It's called Mr. Jupiterian.
11:09He's from Jupiter.
11:11Read it, Anna Maxwell Martin, star on stage and screen.
11:14OK, it's called...
11:16I wrote it myself.
11:16Mr. Jupiterian.
11:18Yeah.
11:20Mr. Jupiterian drives back again.
11:23He drives no-one knows when.
11:26Mr. Jupiterian marches down the slope of his flying saucer.
11:30He says to the crowd that he's a fan of Chaucer.
11:34I've come here from planet Jupiter.
11:37Here to your Earth is giant Gulliver.
11:40Is there some place to let with a 50-metre bed?
11:44He had a packet of Marlborough Light before he slept.
11:47For home he wept.
11:49He got a grip and entered his ship.
11:53Ship?
11:56I told the crowd, I'll miss you.
11:58So then off he flew.
12:00That is absolutely brilliant, Thomas Ruffin.
12:03Thank you.
12:04Keep it.
12:04Keep it.
12:05It's your present.
12:06I love, he got a grip and entered his ship.
12:10I mean...
12:12Do you write, question mark?
12:15I write, but not as well as that.
12:16Uh-huh.
12:18Now we're going to come to Sophie.
12:20Your shoes are amazing.
12:22Marks and Spencers.
12:23I know they do some really good things.
12:24They are on form at the moment.
12:27Hello.
12:28Hi.
12:28Hi, Sophie.
12:30What did you shoplift from the shops and...
12:33Did you ever get caught?
12:34Yeah, you shoplift.
12:35OK, so I...
12:37Look, I'm not advocating this, OK, guys?
12:40Just so I'm going to make that to be very clear.
12:42No-one go shoplifting.
12:44What I found out, Sophie, was,
12:46I don't even know if this is true,
12:48that for a year after you've had a baby,
12:51they think you're a bit...
12:54..off, yeah.
12:55And so they don't really prosecute you for shoplifting.
12:59And I got this into my head,
13:01so I thought, yeah, I'm going to...
13:03Yay.
13:04I'm going to have a few things.
13:06Oh, no.
13:06And I would take very big things,
13:09so, like, a case of wine.
13:11Yes.
13:12Or those big...
13:13You used to get these big boxes of nappies,
13:15and I would just keep the big thing in the trolley,
13:18and I'd go through,
13:19and if they said,
13:19and I'd go, oh, love, you haven't paid for that big box of wine,
13:22I'd go, oh, God, sorry.
13:24Or I'd get the babies to hold things.
13:26Did I get one off, love?
13:29Yes, I did get caught with a warning a couple of times in the supermarket.
13:34I'd start acting again, crying, saying,
13:36I'm very, very tired, I've just had a baby, I can't cope.
13:39Sorry, Maggie, give me back that mascara, why are you holding...
13:42Why are you taking a mascara, Maggie?
13:44Oh, no.
13:46Yeah, just blame the six-month-old baby, if in doubt.
13:51Tell us something that you've never told anyone before.
14:00Um, I would say I do have a crush on...
14:07Where's that cameraman?
14:08Oh, he's...
14:09Oh, no!
14:11Tell us, Ed.
14:12Do you like him, he's doing it?
14:14No, it's not him.
14:15Oh, OK, OK, OK.
14:18Um, on...
14:18Is it Ant or is it Dec?
14:20Uh, the littler one.
14:23Dec?
14:23Ah, Dec.
14:24I'd say I've got a little crush on him.
14:26Oh.
14:27Yeah, I've never said that before, but now I have.
14:30OK, next we have a question from Chardonnay.
14:35Hi, Anna, I'm Chardonnay.
14:38Are you Labour, Conservative or Reform UK?
14:44Yeah.
14:46I would never support the Tory party.
14:48I would never, ever, ever support reform.
14:51Thank you for that.
14:52Um, I, I'm not a reform girl.
14:55Um, and Labour, who I did used to support, unfortunately, have made big cuts to the adoption of special guardianship,
15:04um, support fund.
15:05Yay.
15:05Who support really vulnerable children.
15:08And I'm so disappointed that Labour government have cut that therapy funding, so...
15:12You see what happens when you vote for Labour, you see?
15:14A bunch of doughnuts.
15:16They're probably a bunch of something.
15:19OK, and now we're going to hear from Gary.
15:21Oh, yeah.
15:21He did, he did listen to TV presenting.
15:23Is that because the acting work was actually drying up?
15:27Gosh, Gary, you're completely right.
15:30Aren't you an insightful person, Gary?
15:33Um, it was just after my kid's dad had passed away, and I couldn't really, I couldn't really leave for
15:41long stretches of time.
15:42I didn't take a big acting job for quite a while after that.
15:46And actually presenting, like, I could just bobble in.
15:49Yeah.
15:49Do a bit of presenting for the day, or just do a panel show in the evening.
15:54Mm.
15:54Get paid.
15:56So, yes, to answer your question, um, I did enjoy it, but it was, yeah, to fill a little...
16:03It was, yeah, some employment.
16:05Our next question is from Joseph.
16:10Hello.
16:10Hello, Anna.
16:11Nice to meet you.
16:12Hi, nice to meet you, Joseph.
16:13So, the way you describe your sensory problems, it gives neurodivergent vibes.
16:21Have you ever...
16:22You're not the first person to say that.
16:25Have you ever, like, considered that you might have something?
16:30Yes, I have.
16:32Um, there is ASD in my family.
16:38If I was neurodivergent, it's not affecting my life overly.
16:44Like, I think I can be quite a good mum.
16:48Um, there's nothing that affects my job.
16:51Mm-hmm.
16:51So, I wouldn't necessarily feel like I had to go and get a test and get a label.
16:58That was a bit vague, but...
16:59No, I completely feel what you're saying.
17:01I feel like the only time labels really are beneficial is when, uh, whatever you may have
17:06is seriously impacting your daily routine in your life.
17:09But in a sense of, like, you know, putting people in a box, which is a lot of us get
17:15put in,
17:16is what the main issue is.
17:17So, the right avenues.
17:18I'd love a label if it gets support, rather than systems that are set up almost for us to fail.
17:24So true.
17:25Exactly.
17:26Yes.
17:27Yes.
17:31All right, speaking of, um, families, I want to start a family, but I am worried
17:39about passing my traumatic experiences down to my children.
17:43How do you break the cycle?
17:47We do pass down, sort of, um, trauma, don't we?
17:51And my mum's history was really, really interesting.
17:53She'd come from real, real poverty, and actually, I think it had made the women in her family
18:02and down our line, like, badass bitches.
18:05Like, just off the chain, strong.
18:09But I, yeah, I did have, like, thoughts I had to kind of control.
18:16After my children's father died, I thought, this is a real overshare, but I thought,
18:23is there something around what's circulating around me and that my dad died?
18:27That I've created an environment where that happened again?
18:31Now, obviously, that's not the case.
18:33It doesn't mean that.
18:34That isn't what's happened at all.
18:36But I suppose there's an insight into how our thoughts can be quite intrusive, can't they?
18:42Yeah.
18:43But I would say, when there is, like, trauma, that's your point to go, I'm not passing this on.
18:49I'm going to change the course of...
18:52Because you seem like a lovely person, and I'm sure you would meet your children with unconditional love and support,
18:58and that's all children need, and that is what you would do.
19:02So, you know, you're not going to pass on.
19:06Yeah.
19:10I feel like I'm about to start oversharing, but I think I'll move on to the next person.
19:17But, yeah, honestly, really lovely to talk to you.
19:19Oh, lovely to talk to you.
19:24Lovely.
19:25Thank you.
19:25Thank you so much.
19:26Thank you for those questions.
19:27Were you to be in line of duty?
19:30I was in line of duty for a little bit.
19:33Did you smash it?
19:34I absolutely smashed it.
19:36Well done.
19:37Off to you, Ben.
19:39All right.
19:42What is fart tennis?
19:45Oh, fart tennis.
19:47OK.
19:47That sounds interesting.
19:49Yeah.
19:49OK, so fart tennis is pretty basic.
19:52Anyone can learn this game really, really quickly.
19:55So you lie in bed with your partner or someone.
19:59I'd be willing to play it with my children.
20:00That would be fine.
20:01You feel a fart coming on.
20:03But you have to sort of have bums touching, but clothed, clothed bums.
20:07So weird.
20:08And you do the fart.
20:10Oh, God.
20:11But the other person has to reciprocate pretty quickly.
20:14You've got to remember, it's like a game of tennis.
20:16You can't linger too long.
20:17You've got to do the fart, then the other person needs to respond pretty quickly.
20:23That sounds interesting, then, weed.
20:25Oh, so weird.
20:27That's what it is.
20:29And now, Elijah.
20:35Hello.
20:36Hi.
20:37Is it Elijah?
20:38Yeah.
20:39Yeah.
20:39Hi.
20:42Last question is, when were you happiest?
20:48Oh, that's such a good question.
20:52Do you know, I am really naturally an optimist.
20:57I feel it's one of my greatest genetic luck-outs.
21:02Yeah.
21:03So when you say to me, when were you happiest, I don't go to a period in time.
21:09I think, oh, well, it'll be today with my kids having dinner.
21:13Or I'll get home.
21:14I'm going to go and see them now.
21:16We're going to the orthodontist.
21:17And we'll probably have a laugh there.
21:18And I'll think, oh, God, I feel so lucky.
21:22I feel happy.
21:25I feel like I'm going to always try to find a little bit of happiness every day.
21:32That's probably the sweetest answer you could have given.
21:35Thank you.
21:36That was really nice.
21:37Thank you.
21:38Thank you.
21:39Thank you.
21:40Thank you, love.
21:47Well, that was the assembly.
21:56What do you all do now?
21:57Do you have a little lunch and things?
21:59Thank you, Anna Maxwell Martin.
22:01Thank you.
22:03Thank you for looking after me.
22:05It's been great to meet you for the first time in my mind.
22:08Thank you for speaking so beautifully.
22:11I'm always trying to see you.
22:16I'm only moving to my new place.
22:18Where are you moving to?
22:19Not far from home, actually.
22:21It's still quite scary.
22:22That's frightening.
22:24I get that.
22:24It's not me.
22:25It's my mum.
22:25Oh, is it?
22:26Is she fussing?
22:27Yeah, she is.
22:28Yeah.
22:29Well, that's what we're here for, for the fuss.
