How does Graham describe handling fame and fan interactions?
When I listen to someone like Chapel Roan talk about her interaction with fans.
She finds it terrible, doesn't she?
You know, but she's kind of like, no, I'll perform for you when I'm on stage. Other than that, you're not getting anything. And I sort of think, oh, good on you.
You're a new mom. You're allowed to do this. And you can blame everything on your hormones. And you can say sorry afterwards. But the boundaries will be in place.
Was this the only one on the app? You came from Manchester for him. Look Alive, another round of wanging on with Graham and Maria begins right now. I am Graham. That's Maria.
How are you? I am Maria.
You are. You're looking very boofy today.
I know. I've gone for a little bit of ab fab.
No, I think it's more like Princess Michael of Kent. I want 12 into your past. I mean, there's some odd memorabilia knocking around the house.
Just don't mention my moustache. Please, I beg you, don't mention my moustache. I put my hair up because of the heat.
It's cooler for you, is it? Cooler for you, that's nice. Cooler, yes. Yes. But of course you live by the seaside, which must be lovely because it's warm, but then hellish because the hordes arrive from London.
Yeah, no, it's not bad. It's not too bad, actually. Hastings is still not as hip as people would like to think it is. And there's plenty, plenty of beach. And we always have a nice cooling breeze, which we don't get in Londinium.
Not often. But what's quite nice is everyone's in a good mood and you end up chatting to people you wouldn't normally chat to. Oh, no. Maria doesn't like the chatting.
Well, it's small talk, isn't it? I'm very, again, small talk person. What are you going to say? I play a game with my friends, which is to do deliberate small talk. So, you know, obviously at the moment we would do, hot enough for you, Graham? And then people say, well, it won't last, will it? They say it's going to be rain by Wednesday. That just goes on. And then also you see people clean their cars. And it's the law to say when you see people clean their cars, will you do mine next? See? That wouldn't cross my mind to say that. Well, to your neighbor. No. No, but you don't like speaking to people. No. Bizarrely for a chat show host. But I think because... What is my job? Because of your job, when, you know, basically... You're not getting this for free.
You're a nun. You're a nun of a silent order in your real life, aren't you? You would like to skulk about without anybody actually saying, can I have a photo? And people want you to be funny. That is the problem. problem isn't it well they're sadly disappointed they just want you if you're in their living rooms then they want you to be their friend because you've made them laugh no no and they kind of like where do people think they know me and they kind of do because they know part of you i know the dark part of you the bit that's edited out But I know the darkness in your soul. No one can be that chatty and laughy all the time.
Yeah, I feel my neighbors know the dark side as well.
But it's quite annoying, isn't it, that you've got to be nice to people because the minute you're horrible to somebody, it will be in the paper.
Well, it's weird. When I first started being kind of well-known on telly, I was horrible to everyone. I was really... Why? Because I found it made me instantly grumpy when people talked to me about it. And actually, as time's gone on, I've got much better at it.
You've mellowed, like Madonna. Well, not even mellowed, but just kind of...
I use a different energy for it now. And also, I guess I received the intrusion in the way that it's intended, that it's supposed to be a nice thing. So you kind of try to process it as a nice thing. Whereas I really resisted it when I was younger.
That's interesting. I did not know that. I remember you resisting it. You're more Taylor now.
The trouble is, there's no... You know, there's no rule book. There's no, you know. Actually, when I listen to someone like Chapel Roan talk about her interaction with fans.
She finds it terrible, doesn't she?
