W: In today’s program we have the famous actor, Peter Jameson, who is known above all for his classical roles on stage, particularly in Shakespeare plays. Peter, was it your choice to appear so often in this type of play?

M: Well, that’s an interesting question. Actually, I’ve always seen myself as an actor, a professional actor doing whatever comes along, rather than classical roles, Shakespeare and so on, although of course I do find those wonderful.

W: I remember seeing you playing many big parts. You must have had lots of words to remember. How can you manage that?

M: It was a gift originally. I’ve always had a sort of photographic memory, right from my earliest childhood. My subject at university was history actually, for which a memory is basic.

W: Some of your theater performances have been recorded and shown on TV. Have you ever watched them?

M: I’ve always avoided watching myself anyway. Though I’m satisfied with my performance on stage, I still feel foolish to see myself on TV. It makes me feel strange and embarrassed.

W: OK, thank you very much, Peter.
