Ruby Wax on Irish TV (RTE). 

I love Ruby Wax- she's a brilliant interviewer and also great at comedy. WOW- I just did not realise her harsh upbringing. What an interesting woman. OMG Her childhood is so sad, I don't know how she got through it, this is one of the most tragic stories I have ever listened to, it's really touched a nerve.

Having just recently watched Ruby's story on Who do you think you are, I can see where she's coming from. Such a tragic story. God bless you Ruby and your family.

I was aware of Ruby, but didn't know a lot about her. I love her take on mental illness, understanding the complexities of the subject, yet showing that those of us with mental illness can have a sense of humor. We use humor to deal with our disorder. I loved the part when she asked which is worse, clinical depression and cancer, one makes you want to live and the other makes you want to die. I have been diagnosed as bipolar and was prescribed many medications and felt exactly the same. Now I take nothing, using great caution, I've been able to manage. I love laughing, this video made me hopeful.

This is GREAT television...the way it was decades back. It is tragic and hilarious at the same time. Ruby is a natural, gifted comic and public speaker. Love her!!!

We love you Ruby👏

What a great interview. Love Ruby and what a thoughtful interviewer.

Ruby your a comic genius

So sorry about your childhood, Ruby.

She did a documentary years ago about her parents and showed us their apartment and everything was covered in plastic so that it wouldn't get dirty 😂😂😂

love this interview!

What a lovely gentleman. Never seen him before, but I'm an American.

I love ruby. I can listen to her all day. She not only talented and funny, and attractive. She is very intelligent. When I listen to her talk about mental illness. I feel not so alone. She is comforting to me. That may sound silly to some.

Always loved Gay Byrne.

God was never mentioned… maybe when I was swearing… I love this woman. She looks so natural, and yet there’s a lot going on in her head. So intelligent and full of energy she did history in tv

I can see a lot of myself in her...a lot of what she said is going on in my head too....unfortunately I'm not clever like her , just depressed....

Great interview

Wonderful. Thanks heaps for the video. 😊

Gay Byrne was the best interviewer of Women Ive ever seen.( Except for his awful mistakes with Annie Murphy, Bishop Caseys girlfriend/mother of the Bishops son on The Late Late Show) but 1 snafu in 37 years is not bad. Here Gay had to ask 3 standard God related questions in a relatively free ranging encounter to act as a comparator between interviewees in this series called The meaning of Life"

Great interview ...!!

I share the same views on religion as wax except on astrology, the reason I belive is that we are made of water. Water changes with the position of the planet and the moon , just like the tide of the oceans our chemical make must also shift with different gravitational pulls , I also belive as we are formed in the womb at different times of the year, different seasons different environment and different places on the planet would also make us different. A mother pregnant in the summer will eat differently might wear more clothing might be exposed to different sounds , and different light . Those elements are the first building blocks of our development, making us different people .if the moon alone influences the chemical reaction of our bodies I find it very possible that our other neighboring planets might influence our chemistry/ behavior.
