Episode Description from the Publisher

Jonny’s show this week comes live from Bedales School in Hampshire, with old Bedalian and national treasure Minnie Driver. Minnie tells us about the values of the school that gave her tools to live by in Hollywood, why she ran away as a child, being sent to Miami on her own by her dad at age 11, why children like adults (its because they rather pity them), being mentally vengeful, turning pain into profit, trying to be heard, fighting for what she thought was right in Every Brilliant Thing, watching her crush, Daniel Day-Lewis, play football, the advice he gave her, being in a swimsuit in an Oldham winter in her first job and vociferous Northern audience members. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
