Do you ever feel held back by shame or judgement? Not just from others but perhaps from yourself too? Do you default to self-deprecation? In this chat with Fearne, comedian, musician, and producer Tim Minchin talks about how he’s learnt to let himself appreciate his own talents.
They also chat about their own parenting choices, knowing full well that their children’s characters will be shaped by them, and the importance of a diagnosis for neurodivergence. Plus, Tim has some interesting thoughts about why we shouldn’t necessarily be seeking happiness.
Roald Dahl’s Matilda the Musical, which Tim wrote the original music and lyrics for, is in UK cinemas on the 25th of November.

“Be kind. when in doubt, double down.”Brilliant, lovely Tim. At 74, have been an obsessed fan for 14 years. 🎯

The end result, what Tim is working toward, is to have people think, "Wow, that guy's really deep!" And have another say, "Yeah, I noticed that..." What an awesome dark side! Love you, Tim!

"I'm not even slightly interested in whether I'm remembered" - nothing you can do about it now, Tim. You made Matilda a classic that will be watched by kids until the world ends. (Hopefully, after you've done that "ashes to ashes and dust to dust" part).

Tim is a man that has unbelievable talent and has accomplished so much but still comes across as a guy you'd have an interesting conversation with down the pub. A national gem.

This was amazing 💜 my daughter started to show ASD traits at 11, she’s now 16 and has been diagnosed. I work in NHS Children’s services - waiting lists for ASD assessment are longer than ever. There’s a lot of thinking that the trauma of the pandemic has brought out autistic traits in children/adults, that may not have emerged otherwise. The risk factor may have always been there, but the trauma was the catalyst. One thing that we’ve experienced as a family, that Tim touched on, is that my daughter can now feel empathy for herself and not berate herself every day for feeling like she’s weird and unworthy. We, as her parents, have much more patience and understanding. It’s so hard feeling like you weren’t made for this world and not knowing why.

So not to be anoying, a lot of Girls and woman get misdiagnosed whit asd adhd etcetera yet are gifted(highly intelligent) Its a big problem...

@@esch4920I believe it's your perception of ASD that is awful, ASD is a spectrum and treating those that are high functioning as a 'problem' seem daft.

Tim's point about never being satisfied with life despite achievement, personal possessions, and status is so true. Another wonderful interview. I really love his soundtrack for Groundhog Day and was absolutely gutted that I discovered it right when it finished in the UK.

I went to a cabaret show including Tim in 2005 in Melbourne- the MC said we wouldn’t see Tim much in the near future as he would take off overseas. He was the standout for sure. Aus fans and colleagues supported him, once he got out there to be seen!

@bronwyntully6058 9 месяцев назад

In 2016, I was lucky enough to be in the audience of a 'live to air' Melbourne Studio, during an ad break the audience 'rev-up' guy asked us "do you have any questions?' I had just one, "do you think Tim would come over here?" Tim must have heard my question, he came straight over! I was lost for words, just reached out my hand and said "It's a pleasure to meet you" .... He shook my hand! He has the softest hands I've ever felt😍 Then he said" "F*** I'm jet-lagged" LOL. Love you Tim ❤

If Tim wouldn't have Kids he would have stayed in London is the first time I've been really, really alienated by something Tim said.

@jackwhitbread4583 5 месяцев назад

Why? He loves the UK clearly but he wanted his children to have the same happy Aussie childhood he had. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that, it's weird you're trying to make such a big deal out of it.

@@jackwhitbread4583 Tim moved back to Australia 🇦🇺 for his kids. He wanted them surrounded by family. He has commented move not easy on him nor his wife because making new friends at that stage in his life was not easy. He loves and misses London, he said recently. Am glad to see that professionally he is more widely and highly regarded in Australia than when he left. Amazingly talented humanist ❤️ BYW am a 75 year young American.

@simonwilliams7608 Год назад

Really interesting. I only recently "discovered" Tim, mainly through watching Upright, and it's led me to explore his other work and items such as this. He's an interesting guy: very smart and talented, obviously, but also remarkably self-reflective, which is something I enjoy. I feel that we'd enjoy having a beer together and talking anything at all non-trivial. But, and I'm sure he'd understand what I'm saying here, this came across as, essentially, a couple of self-absorbed people discussing the downfalls of being self-absorbed. The jump cut editing didn't help here, as I felt cheated of moments where I think he was about to expand on something, or qualify a point. I find it interesting, and maybe a little sad, that he understands himself to be nothing more than his genes and experiences and discounts any idea of transcendence in terms of what we might call spirit, or soul or whatever. And I am NOT talking religion here. I suspect he will start to explore the very nature of being, or consciousness itself as his excellent mind continues to question it all.

@weareallbornmad410 Год назад

Interesting point. To me it felt like an almost casual conversation between old friends who met again after a long time (and promptly got just a little bit high together.) It's not an interview in a classical sense, which is maybe why you felt they were so self-absorbed? They were definitely discussing themselves here rather than something outside them, but the levels of self-absorption seem kind of... human-like. Not celebrity-like, if that makes sense.

@simonwilliams7608 Год назад

@@weareallbornmad410 I hear you.

@weareallbornmad410 Год назад

@@simonwilliams7608 I agree on your point about his understanding of personhood; it's a little reductive, even for a strictly materialist approach.

@jackwhitbread4583 Год назад

he is strictly a materialist though, Tim has never made any secret of the fact that he is a humanist materialist, if you want others to respect your views of the world then you have to show respect to those whose opinions differ. Tim has every right to his views and he happens to not believe any Gods exist nor souls, he has every right to voice his opinions and it's really none of your business, even if you don't agree

@PianoDiary85 Год назад

When you think about it though, your spirit is just another way of describing your personality or the way that you think and feel, which are influenced by your experiences and your genes. I've consumed a lot of Tim's material including many discussions he's had with other people and I don't think he is lacking at all from not believing in something more. He is extremely self-aware, and I think he has more appreciation for what is right there in front of him and for the time he has left than many others do. There is beauty in that. It's probably part of why he has achieved so much in his life.
