This is a global, original podcast.

Paul McKenna's positivity podcast.

Hello, this is Paul McKenna, and welcome to the positivity podcast.

My objective is to interview the most interesting people in the world,

and in the next 30 minutes, get insights and even discover how it is that they do what they do,

what makes them unique and fascinating, their success

mindset, and certainly what keeps them positive. My guest today is an actor who's best known

for his roles in Harry Potter, The Patriot and Death of Stalin, plus countless acclaimed TV and

theatre shows. His new movie is Skyfire. I'm talking today with Jason Isaacs.

When I went around the world, sometimes going to conventions and stuff, what I experienced

is people walk up to a table to chat to me, and I can sense already that they put me

somewhere on a pedestal.

They're looking up.

They think I am an extraordinary person because I put on funny voices or whatever.

And I feel like it's my job, my mission in life in that minute I have interacting them,

to make them walk away and think, oh, it's just an idiot. It forgets to take the bins out.

I know I get something when I play tennis. So I'm a tennis addict. And it's partly this.

You can't live even in the last point and you can't live in the next point. You have to be right there where the ball is. But the most important thing to do, men are lying in bed at night, is go,

what did I do today that I could do better tomorrow? What can I put right tomorrow? What am I

going to do when I wake up? Because regret is completely pointless. The only thing

that is worth engaging with is what you can change in your life.

The positivity podcast with Paul McKenna. Well, hello Jason. Lovely to meet you.
