and it was the hours, and you were playing virginia woolf. woolf, do you think? i mean, david hare gave me one of the greatest monologues, you know, about choice, and it is "my choice". i still know those words and deeply believe in them, may i add. it is my choice as a human being. your next choice, a big turning point in your career, and you've already mentioned it, is baz luhrmann�*s musical moulin rouge. why have you chosen that? once again, took a massive chance with me. believed i could sing and dance and act in the same film. erm, gave me satine, who ijust became and loved, and people still think i am. she laughs and, erm... ..gave me that, and i watch that film, and i'm like, "i can't believe i made that. i'm so happy that exists. i'm so happy i got to be satine and i got to do it with ewan." and i have such magical memories of it and i find the film magical and he's... baz is magical. you played satine, the consumptive courtesan, opposite ewan mcgregor as the struggling writer. was it the first time you'd sung professionally? i'd sun

with virginia woolf, you're interpreting it.ean, study her but aaron sorkin was adamant it wasn't to be an impersonation. he was like, "i don't want an impersonation". in recent years, you've become a producer as well. you've brought us the big little lies and the undoing and nine perfect strangers. did you have any ambition to director as well? no. laughs. not at all? no! no. i love being an actor. as i said, i don't have the — i don't have the control! i don't want to make the big decisions! i want to be part of the group, i don't want to be the leader. i'm happy to be in the group. i don't want to be the director. really? but i ask that, nicole, because you've worked with so many great independent directors, in particular, the gus van sant and... i want to support them, i'm happy to support them. i love to support them. i want to find them, i want to support them, i want to — i want them to have the chance to do their work. but having seenjane campion or gus van sant or lars von trier or anthony minghella — any of these direc

and it's based on cunningham's novel, the hours and it's two of virginia woolf. and mrs. dalloway, if you're with that literature. but did you see the consciousness, the consciousness of that libretto, the consciousness of virginia woolf, the consciousness of what's in mrs. dalloway is extraordinary in that opera. and if you look at that and you about that kind of consciousness welded into an anti-capitalist, then it's a colonialist, you know, anti-imperialist with a new vision of things it could be very, very powerful. so i make an appeal in the book for there to be less of this separation. and yes, support our human rights, but it's reading our stuff, start reading what people are writing and you can reject it. you can like it, you can, but you'll get insights, you'll get insights into. the nature of society and what what is required for a real, real and and humanity. thank you so much, bettina. this been such an incredible, enlightening discussion and thank you so much for sharing with us. i wanted to make sure to tell everyone we will put the link for communists and c

one city where the coalition between the conservative party and the far right banned a play by virginia woolfause they considered it to be lesbian, and that was unacceptable in their view for a play sponsored by a government. another town banned buzz light year because there was a kiss between two people of the same sex. those topics are at the center of the campaign. dani: thank you very much for that look ahead, setting up this weekend's election. let's look at what else we will be watching out for in the next 24 hours, 11:30 u.k. time we will get the latest rate decision from the bank of russia. economists surveyed by bloomberg expect a 50 basis point hike. amex will report earnings for the second quarter, and the expectation is to make a return to earnings growth after two consecutive quarters of decline. any data we can glean about the american consumer will be interesting. this is all they want to talk about today, the two big releases, "barbie" and "oppenheimer." it gets the u.k. release. i want to talk about the movie, however there is a company angle to this, cinemas are hoping or a

virginia woolf already said you need a room of your own. rib does not have to be a physical room. it has to be a room inside you where you retreat to be alone with yourself and your writing. but that is honest impossible if you have small children. i could not write until my children were teenagers. older teenagers. so that they already had their lives -- paula was driving. it was a completely different life. i worked at the time in a ministry of school 12 hours a day because i had two shifts. but i could come home and i did not have to take care of the kids. i knew when i was working of the kids were doing fine. i also had help at home. i did not have to clean up. so i could write at night in the beginning in the kitchen on the kitchen counter. alone at night and during the weekends. i could find little moments to write. then i emptied a closet and put a board across the closet with a lightbulb on top, my typewriter, and then i could close the door to the closet and my writing was there intact, waiting for me until the next day or another

and same with virginia woolf.d there are there are she talked about uncle a penny. about my great uncle as a penny. i'm marry a penniless jew. i'm to marry a penniless jew. well, wouldn't that well, we wouldn't say that nowadays. it's quite nowadays. and it's quite offensive to of the woolf offensive to sort of the woolf side the family, penniless side of the family, a penniless jew. in the context, jew. but it was in the context, it a sort of loving it was it was a sort of loving little joke. and so it's easy to i think it's easy to retrospectively go back and start accusing people of defence where wasn't any find where there wasn't any find offence it wasn't offence, where really it wasn't intended, whether that or intended, or whether that or whether just of whether that was just part of the time be pleased. >> she would, however, still be pleased to know that she was making you feel uncomfortable just it. absolutely just reading it. absolutely >> all >> and still being read all about and look at orlando. about

have come and it's it's a really fascinating time to step back and take that third story view as virginia woolf told us to the world around us. this also i think gets into the nature of of political framing beyond simply. are you pro or anti-environment? but instead to look at the ways in which the local and regional environments come to affect the ways in which people understand what environmentalism actually is my talk today kind of builds from research. i had published a couple of years ago as part of this broader project looking at the ways in which in the 1970s governor jim rhodes popular governor in ohio really served cement the kind of rhetoric and policy making that we associate with the rgan administration into that kin of national republican politics after a 's really important to remember this is a discussion. we h in talking about bruce sherman'sook the 70s. remember reagan was at least a moderate on environmental issues. you couldote a governor of california and not be right he supported. an-smog legislation air pollution regulation in california and really did not embrace the kind
