Why did Alice sign up for Queen of the South? 1) Because of the film director. 2) Because of the role she had to play. 3) Because she had written the book.

Presenter: Today in our studio, we have a Brazilian-born actress, Alice Jones, who made her film debut at the age of 18 in the Oscar-nominated 'City of God'. Good afternoon, Alice. Alice: Good afternoon. It's a pleasure to be here. Thank you for inviting me. Presenter: Your biggest achievements are connected with Hollywood, and even your surname now is English. Do you still have any connections in Brazil? Alice: Well, my roots certainly remain firmly in Brazil. I own a production company in São Paulo, the city in which I was raised. Many of my family members are in the film and television industry, and my aunt and mother are both actresses there, and my sister is a producer. Presenter: What inspired you to become an actress? Alice: I can't say I've always been interested in stardom. Once as a teenager, I saw a performance at a theatre and I loved the play. For me, it changed my perspective on acting and theatre. I was fourteen and I was enchanted. I completely fell in love. Then I finished school in Sao Paulo and started attending a university for performing arts. When I got the invitation to come to an audition, I remember exactly when they told me who was going to be in the film. These were the same actors as in that play. I thought it was written in the stars. Presenter: Are you currently involved in any project? Alice: I am. It is based on a novel by a wonderful Spanish writer. I read the book eight years ago. A really good friend of mine gave me the book and she said: 'You need to read this book, because it's a beautiful, strong story about this woman. Maybe she's a nice character for you to play, so just read it'. Years went by, and now they want to make a version of it in Spanish. And I was happy when they called me, because I always thought it was such a beautiful character for a woman to play. When they called me, I couldn't believe that eight years after I read the book and fell in love with the character, they came to me. It was very special. Presenter: As far as I remember, it's not the first time you've worked on a book you love. Alice: So true. One of my films, Blindness, is also based on one of my favourite books, so when they invited me, I had the same feeling. For 'Queen of the South' again, my main reason to sign up for it was the character and the book, because that was a role I really wanted to play. So right after I got cast, I went straight to the book and made notes, getting all the little details about what people say about her, who she is, what type of woman she is in the world that she's born into, how she manages to survive — all that. I was just trying to honour the book and have a better understanding of it. Presenter: How do you prepare for your roles? Alice: I have an acting coach that helps me. He works with me on preparing, running lines and having ideas and developing different ways of approaching characters. When it's a story based on a book, I basically work off the book. The book is my main source of material. Presenter: I think now you've worked more in English than in Portuguese. Is it still difficult for you to work in another language that's not Portuguese? Alice: Even now it's still a challenge because I'm so close to my family and friends and I always speak Portuguese, my heart and mind go to Portuguese. Once I'm on the set, after three or four months doing the series working hard every day and only speaking English, it becomes easier. Your mindset is there and you're dreaming in English. But it is hard. In a way you keep translating from one language to another. Presenter: Thank you, Alice.

Presenter: Good afternoon, everybody, and welcome to our weekly programme about sports and sportsmen. Today in our studio we have Tom Peary, a bodybuilder. Hello, Tom. Tom: Good afternoon, everybody. It's a pleasure to be here. Presenter: Food is very important for sportsmen. Our listeners would certainly love to know about your diet. Tom: Regarding my diet, I have recently gone with a more organic approach. If I can buy organic, then organic it is — well, at least for the most part. Also, for the past year and a half, I have excluded gluten from my diet as much as possible, and I think that's the main reason for my latest gains with bodybuilding. The elimination of gluten has actually helped me put on more lean mass by eating more protein, veggies and fruit. For anyone who has a hard time keeping weight on or who wants to gain lean mass, you should give it a try. I have gone from eating just two or three times a day to an average of five or six times a day. Presenter: How is it different from your diet at the beginning of your career? Tom: When I was young, I used to eat whatever I liked. But at the age of 27, I started to be stricter with my diet. I cut out fast food and fried food, cut back on soda consumption and made healthier choices when dining out. So nothing too dramatic. I followed this approach Monday through Friday, but relaxed a bit on the weekends with foods I really enjoyed. However, I wouldn't recommend this to everybody. You can do it only when you are young. Presenter: What do you love about bodybuilding? Tom: For me, bodybuilding is like a competition with myself. I want to push my body to its limits. I love feeling my muscles grow and become more defined. I love feeling the pump my muscles get when they stretch out my gym shirt. I love the endorphin high I get while lifting weights. It's most definitely a mood-enhancing rush that can't be matched. Presenter: What keeps you motivated? Tom: Staying motivated always leads back to my childhood, as a kid growing up in the 80s. My initial inspiration then was knowing what I wanted to look like and become when I grew up. And that's always going to be with me. Even to this day, I think about it all the time, even when I'm lifting. I have always wanted to be fit and to get better. Seeing the gains over the years, even the short-term ones, and being featured in fitness publications, all of these things motivate me to go back to the gym for my next workout. Presenter: What made you decide to enter your first competition? Tom: Through all my years of training, I never really thought of entering a competition, nor did I want to. It wasn't until connecting with a few of the top bodybuilding supplement companies that I knew I had to get up on the stage if I wanted them to sponsor me. My first competition was a crash and burn experience. It most definitely was a great learning experience, and I looked forward to improving the next summer. Presenter: What are your most important training tips? Tom: Just go to the gym and work out. There are thousands of routines that claim to be the next best thing, and I see people who are constantly changing their current regime in order to try different ones. Give your current routine a chance to work. Nothing good is going to happen overnight. There's always going to be some sort of struggle before seeing a good result. Stay true to your workout schedule and don't skip days. Take days off only when you're ill or injured. They're sure to happen. Trust me, it comes with the territory. Presenter: Thank you, Tom. It's been very interesting talking to you. Tom: Thank you.
